Sui hits 40.6 million TPS in offchain test simulating AI agent activity
Sui recorded a peak of 40,614,180 transactions per second in a live off-chain test in Singapore on Wednesday, more than six times its July result of 6.09 million TPS. The demonstration used more than 10,000 off-chain tunnels and was framed around simulating payments, gaming, messaging, and AI-agent activity.
What this rests on
What it means
Each sentence links inside to the piece that supports it.
Users and developers who follow Sui’s payment and messaging plans would notice that the network’s public demonstration now includes a much larger off-chain tunnel setup than before, and that the event was presented in Singapore on Wednesday. The practical effect today is that the showcased throughput is being discussed alongside AI-agent activity rather than only conventional transfer speed.
What changed in practice is that the headline number came from off-chain tunnels and programmable channels opened on mainnet, while the record was still described as an off-chain tunnel throughput peak. What stayed the same is that the test was a demonstration, not a statement about mainnet transaction throughput. (per cryptopolitan.com)
