Sui tunnels hit 40.6M TPS in live AI agent test

Sui, a layer-1 blockchain, reported reaching a remarkable milestone during a live stress test on Wednesday: 40.6 million transactions per second. The programmable offchain tunnels, which facilitate high-frequency activity between AI agents, processed over 40 million transactions per second, setting a new record that surpasses the previous peak of approximately 6.1 million transactions per second recorded in July.

The test, conducted at Sui Basecamp in Singapore, involved more than 10,000 tunnels opened on the Sui mainnet, with activities ranging from payments to games and chat applications. The tunnels are designed to handle this intense activity without necessitating every transaction to be processed directly on the Sui blockchain. Adeniyi Abiodun, co-founder and chief product officer at Mysten Labs, emphasized that Sui is built for the era when millions of AI agents will be transacting daily.

CertiK, an independent auditor, is reviewing the test data, with a report anticipated in the coming days.
