Starknet Achieves Unprecedented 857 TPS, Surpassing Coinbase-Backed Base
- Starknet, an Ethereum layer-2 network, reached a peak of 857 transactions per second (TPS) during a stress test.
- The test was a joint effort by StarkWare, Cartridge, and the Starknet Foundation, featuring the game “Flippy Flop.”
- This achievement underscores Starknet’s potential for high throughput while maintaining decentralization values.
- Despite the TPS milestone, Starknet’s total value locked (TVL) remains significantly lower than competitors like Arbitrum and Base.
StarkWare’s CEO, Eli Ben-Sasson, emphasized the breakthrough as pivotal for the L2 ecosystem, proving that efficiency doesn’t have to come at the cost of decentralization. The network’s ability to handle intense loads with minimal impact on gas fees further highlights its robust design.
Looking ahead, Starknet’s milestone could signal a shift in the layer-2 landscape, encouraging more developers to explore decentralized, high-throughput solutions for Ethereum scaling challenges.
