Starknet’s new TPS record hints at scaling potential for Ethereum but raises key questions about real-world scalability.
On Oct. 29, Starknet, a layer-2 (L2) scaling solution on Ethereum, achieved a new milestone by reaching a peak of 857 transactions per second (TPS) in a controlled stress test.
The test averaged 127.5 TPS over a 24-hour period, showing the network’s potential to support high-demand blockchain applications, but also raising questions about long-term scalability.
Eli Ben-Sasson, CEO of StarkWare, told Cointelegraph that some networks attempt to get to “high TPS by compromising on values,” but this test showed Starknet could scale while maintaining integrity:
