AI-assisted source synthesis · not an independent investigation.
On October 8, 2026, Sui conducted an on-site stress test in Singapore, reaching 40,614,180 TPS and surpassing its previous record of 6.09 million TPS. The report explicitly stated that this result came from more than 10,000 off-chain tunnels, not the native throughput of the Sui mainnet. Each tunnel used at most two on-chain transactions. Sui stated that these off-chain channels can provide low-cost, high-frequency exchange capabilities for AI agent payments. CertiK has independently confirmed the test results, and the relevant proof is expected to be released later.

- CryptopolitanSui reaches 40.6 million TPS, targeting off-chain speeds for AI agent payments
Sui reached 40,614,180 TPS in a live stress test in Singapore, surpassing its previous record of 6.09 million TPS, but the result came from more than 10,000 off-chain tunnels rather than Sui mainnet’s native throughput. Each tunnel uses no more than two on-chain transactions, and Sui says this could provide low-cost, high-frequency exchange capabilities for AI agent payments; CertiK has independently confirmed the test results, with the relevant proof expected to be released later.
