Qubic Achieves 15.52 Million TPS on Live Mainnet

Qubic has set a new industry benchmark for decentralized performance by achieving the fastest transaction speed ever recorded on a blockchain. On April 22, 2025, Qubic's live Layer 1 mainnet reached an impressive 15.52 million transactions per second (TPS), a milestone independently verified and published by CertiK, a leading blockchain security and auditing firm. This achievement is particularly notable because it was accomplished live on the mainnet, without the use of rollups, gas fees, or Layer 2 dependencies, unlike many previous tests conducted in isolated environments.

The Qubic team conducted a live stress test on the mainnet using its native tick-based architecture. The certified performance result of 15.52 million TPS and 1.518 billion transfers was drawn from the 10 peak ticks verified by CertiK. This performance is significantly higher than that of leading networks such as TON, which achieved 104,715 TPS in a simulated testnet burst, and Solana, which reached approximately 65,000 TPS under ideal conditions. Other networks like Sui, Aptos, and Arbitrum all fall under 1 million TPS, further highlighting Qubic’s superior performance.

Qubic’s breakthrough is not just about speed; it is about the capabilities that this speed enables. The network’s unique tick-based architecture delivers atomic consensus, execution, and finality in a single synchronized cycle. This design supports use cases that were previously limited by blockchain constraints, such as AI compute, DePIN networks, and composable DeFi. AI compute can now handle inference, pipelines, and training more efficiently. DePIN networks can benefit from sensor mesh and geospatial routing, while composable DeFi can operate with real-time logic and instant finality.

Jennifer King, Chief Marketing Officer of Qubic Network, emphasized the significance of this achievement. “This isn’t just about speed. It’s about what becomes possible because of it. With 15.52 million TPS live on mainnet — and verified by CertiK — Qubic gives us something we’ve never had before: decentralized infrastructure fast enough for real-time AI, scalable enough for DePIN, and strong enough to support what comes next: AGI. If we want AGI to be decentralized, censorship-resistant, and built for everyone — this is where it begins.”

The test results are fully auditable and available via the Qubic Explorer, which provides on-chain tick data and logs, a Performance Visualizer for a graphical breakdown, and the full CertiK Report for official certification. The CertiK Report PDF is also available for download, ensuring transparency and trust in the verification process.

Qubic is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain designed for real-time decentralized compute. Powered by uPoW and tick-based consensus, it delivers zero-fee transactions, instant finality, and unparalleled throughput. This makes it an ideal infrastructure for AI, DePIN, DeFi, and AGI-level applications. For more information, visit qubic.org.
