Solana has set a new record with a peak transaction throughput of 107,540 transactions per second (TPS) during a recent stress test. This achievement positions the blockchain as potentially the fastest publicly measured blockchain, but questions remain about real-world usability and performance in everyday applications. Despite achieving this impressive number, Solana’s actual user throughput remains much lower at around 1,000 TPS. The milestone highlights ongoing efforts to optimize real-world performance for the Solana network. While theoretical throughput is high, the focus now lies on how these advances translate into practical benefits for users, with potential implications for various sectors like gaming and DeFi.
