$SUI JUST HIT 40.6 MILLION TRANSACTIONS PER SECOND... Could SUI explode, guys?
On October 7, Sui announced a new performance milestone, reaching 40.6 million TPS—far surpassing its previous record of around 6 million TPS, announced back in July.
However, there’s something important to keep in mind:
This is not 40.6 million TPS processed directly on Sui’s base layer (Layer 1). Instead, the figure was achieved using Sui Tunnels: programmable off-chain channels that process a large volume of transactions at high speed before the final results are committed to and verified on Sui’s mainnet.
According to the announcement, more than 10,000 tunnel channels were used in this test, with independent verification by CertiK.
This figure also matters for the long term, because Sui is aiming for a model in which the blockchain acts as the final verification and settlement layer, while high-frequency activity takes place off-chain.
This model is especially useful for emerging sectors such as:
• AI agents
• Gaming
• Payments
• Social media applications
• Machine-to-machine commerce
📌 40.6 million TPS is a huge technological milestone, but remember to distinguish it from the native processing performance of the Sui Layer 1 network.
Still, this shows that blockchain scalability is being pushed to new limits. The potential down the road is huge... now we just need liquidity to drive the price up, and maybe we’ll get a PUMP :)))
SUI holders, if you’re interested, do your research!
