Psy Protocol has announced a breakthrough in blockchain performance, achieving 521,000 transactions per second (TPS) on its live Proof-of-Work network. This milestone surpasses existing benchmarks for both Proof-of-Stake and Proof-of-Work chains, maintaining decentralization, security, and privacy. The stress test was conducted using thousands of Google Cloud instances, with each transaction backed by cryptographic proof. Psy Protocol has published the full dataset for independent verification and is offering a $100,000 bounty to anyone who can disprove the results. The network's architecture, designed for a machine-native economy, employs a Parallel State Architecture, client-side proof generation, recursive zero-knowledge proofs, and horizontal scaling with "Realms." This design allows for high throughput without the typical bottlenecks of traditional blockchains. Psy Protocol's achievement is seen as foundational for supporting high-frequency micropayments and real-time settlements among autonomous AI agents, marking a significant step towards a scalable, agentic internet.
