Psy Protocol has announced a significant achievement in decentralized system throughput, reaching 521,000 transactions per second (TPS) on its proof-of-work network. According to ChainCatcher, this test was supported by Google Cloud, with all transactions verifiable on-chain. The complete data and cryptographic proofs have been open-sourced for independent auditing.
The team emphasized that this milestone was achieved without compromising decentralization, security, or privacy. They have also offered a $100,000 bounty for anyone who can invalidate the results. Carter Feldman, the founder of Psy Protocol, stated, “This is not a testnet demonstration or theoretical calculation; every result is verifiable.”
The test highlights the infrastructure capabilities for future AI agent economies, enabling high-frequency micropayments, continuous clearing markets, and large-scale AI collaboration. Psy Protocol has overcome traditional blockchain throughput limitations through parallel state architecture, client-generated proofs, recursive zero-knowledge proofs, and horizontal scaling design.
The complete verification data and methodology have been open-sourced, allowing users to verify the results independently.
