Sui blockchain's offchain tunnels achieve a new transaction per second (TPS) record of 40.6 million during a live AI agent test.
Sui's special channels can process over 40 million transactions at once, which is really fast. This could help AI agents talk to each other quickly.
Analysis
{"heading_1":"Sui's Offchain Tunnels Achieve New TPS Record","paragraph_1":"Sui's programmable offchain tunnels processed over 40 million transactions per second (TPS) during a live stress test, surpassing a previous record set in July.","paragraph_2":"The test, conducted at Sui Basecamp in Singapore, peaked at 40,614,180 TPS, up from about 6.1 million TPS in a similar test in July.","paragraph_3":"The tunnels are designed to handle high-frequency activity, including interactions between AI agents, without requiring every transaction to be processed directly onchain."}
Key points
- Sui's offchain tunnels achieve a new TPS record of 40.6 million
- The test was conducted at Sui Basecamp in Singapore
- The tunnels are designed to handle high-frequency activity, including interactions between AI agents
This could make Sui more efficient for AI applications, potentially leading to faster and smoother interactions between AI systems.
If the technology doesn't work as expected, it could cause issues with the network or transactions.
