Sui Network logs over 40 million TPS in live Basecamp stress test
Sui Network registered more than 40 million transactions per second during a live stress test at Sui Basecamp Singapore. Verified by security auditor CertiK, the demonstration shattered the blockchain's previous throughput record using off-chain mechanisms called Sui tunnels.
During a live public stress test at the Sui Basecamp event in Singapore, Sui Network demonstrated a throughput exceeding 40 million transactions per second (TPS). BSCN and Crypto Banter reported a recorded performance of 40,614,180 TPS, audited in real time by web3 security firm CertiK. Onstage dashboards at the event displayed a 5-second average throughput of 40,443,476 TPS and a 15-second peak of 40,316,542 TPS, with payment activity accounting for 81% of the volume at 32.8 million TPS.[2][3][4][5][6]
The result surpassed Sui's previous record of roughly 6 million TPS set in July by more than six times, while outperforming the development team's internal target of 20 million TPS. Crypto Briefing highlighted that the leap in transaction speed could improve blockchain scalability and support AI-driven autonomous financial networks, with BSCN noting that the demonstration transactions centered on AI agent activity.[1][2][3][5][6]
The benchmark was powered by "Sui tunnels," which operate as programmable off-chain state and payment channels. Rather than routing all data through ordinary mainnet blocks, the architecture conducts transactions gaslessly off-chain before settling them back to the Sui mainnet with mutually signed cryptographic proofs.[2][6]
Key facts
- Sui Network registered 40,614,180 transactions per second during a live public stress test at Sui Basecamp Singapore.
- Web3 security firm CertiK monitored and verified the stress test in real time as the independent auditor.
- An onstage dashboard displayed a 5-second average of 40,443,476 TPS, a 15-second peak of 40,316,542 TPS, and attributed 81% of the volume (32.8 million TPS) to payments.
- The performance exceeded the network's previous July record of approximately 6 million TPS by over six times and doubled the engineering team's internal target of 20 million TPS.
- The throughput was facilitated by "Sui tunnels," programmable off-chain channels that process transactions gaslessly and settle back to the mainnet using cryptographic proofs.
- The transactions processed during the live demonstration revolved around AI agent activity.

Sui Network Clocks Over 40 Million TPS in Live Singapore Basecamp Stress Test In a record-breaking achievement on a public platform, @SuiNetwork settles 40,614,180 transactions per second on its mainnet through a live public stress test at Sui Basecamp Singapore. The test, overseen in real time by web3 security auditor @CertiK, beat the network's July record of 6.08M TPS by more than 6 times. This far outperforms the engineering team's internal target of 20 million transactions. This feat is made possible through "Sui tunnels", programmable off-chain state and payment channels that conduct the transactions gaslessly and only then upload the transaction to $SUI with mutually signed cryptographic proofs.

Sui Network might have just completed crypto... Live at Sui Basecamp, @SuiNetwork showcased a frankly outrageous 40,614,180 transactions per second, confirmed by security firm @CertiK. The transactions revolved around AI agent activity. Though the milestone is inarguably impressive, the question is whether anyone actual needs this much throughout in today's industry.

🚨SUI JUST HIT 40.6 MILLION TRANSACTIONS PER SECOND! @SuiNetwork ran a live test at Basecamp in Singapore and hit 40,614,180 transactions per second, checked by @CertiK. It ran through Sui tunnels, offchain channels that settle back to mainnet when they close, not ordinary mainnet blocks. It beat sui:native’s own 6 million record from July.
