Starknet Claims to Shatter Transaction Speed Record Among Ethereum Layer-2 Networks
Summary
Starknet achieved a record maximum transactions per second (TPS) of 127.5, surpassing Coinbase's Base, which had a TPS of 79.92. This milestone occurred during a gaming stress test involving 11 million daily transactions, conducted with the game "flippyflop." Starknet's total value locked (TVL) is $235.7 million, significantly lower than Base's $2.64 billion and Arbitrum's $2.44 billion. The stress test was a collaboration between StarkWare, Cartridge, and the Starknet Foundation, aimed at evaluating Starknet's performance under high transaction loads. The TPS results may not provide a direct comparison to other networks due to differing testing environments and potential trade-offs between speed and decentralization.
