Qubic Becomes the Fastest Blockchain in History — Verified at 15.52M TPS by CertiK

Live mainnet test sets a new industry benchmark for decentralized performance.

April 22, 2025 — Qubic has officially achieved the fastest transaction speed ever recorded on a blockchain, hitting 15.52 million transactions per second (TPS) on its live Layer 1 mainnet. The result was independently verified and published by CertiK, a leading blockchain security and auditing firm.

Unlike many previous tests conducted in isolated environments, Qubic’s milestone was accomplished live on mainnet — with no rollups, no gas fees, and no Layer 2 dependencies.

Verified Performance on Mainnet

The Qubic team conducted a live stress test on mainnet using its native tick-based architecture.
While the test session spanned a longer runtime with many ticks executed, the certified performance result — 15.52 million TPS and 1.51 billion transfers — is drawn from the 10 peak ticks verified by CertiK.

Key Metrics (verified by CertiK):

• Peak TPS: 15,527, 637
  
  

• Total Transfers: 1.51 billion
  
  

• Finality: Instant, zero delay
  
  

Compared to leading networks:

• TON: 104,715 TPS (simulated testnet burst)
  
  

• Solana: ~65,000 TPS (under ideal conditions)
  
  

• Sui, Aptos, Arbitrum: All under 1M TPS
  
  

• Qubic: 15.52M TPS — on mainnet
  

Designed for Real Compute — AI, DePIN, AGI

Qubic’s breakthrough isn’t just speed — it’s capability. The network’s unique tick-based architecture delivers atomic consensus, execution, and finality in a single synchronized cycle.

This enables use cases previously limited by blockchain constraints:

• AI compute: inference, pipelines, and training
  
  

• DePIN networks: sensor mesh, geospatial routing
  
  

• Composable DeFi: real-time logic with instant finality
  
  

“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.”
