  • Sui Foundation reports a peak of 40,614,180 TPS on 7 October at Sui Basecamp, Marina Bay Sands, beating the 20 million target set for the event.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • More than 10,000 tunnels opened on Sui mainnet within seconds, running chat, games and payments offchain before settling back to the chain.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • CertiK served as independent auditor and will publish a report in the coming days, so the figure rests on Sui\u2019s own announcement until then.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Sui\u2019s programmable offchain tunnels hit a peak of 40,614,180 transactions per second in a live test on 7 October at Sui Basecamp in Singapore, according to the Sui Foundation.<\/p>\n

    The run beat the 20 million TPS target Sui had set for the event. Sui said the run also came in at more than six times the 6,086,766 TPS it recorded on 4 July, when the tunnels first ran in a public livestream.<\/p>\n

    The test took place on the Summit Stage at Marina Bay Sands, where Basecamp is being held alongside Token2049 Singapore. Mysten Labs chief product officer and co-founder Adeniyi Abiodun ran the test on stage. Its participants logged into an explorer built for the event, where users and AI agents opened more than 10,000 tunnels within seconds of each other.<\/p>\n

    How Tunnels Settle Onchain<\/h2>\n

    Sui describes tunnels as programmable offchain state and payment channels, similar to Lightning Network\u2019s payment channels. Each tunnel needs two onchain transactions, one to open and one to close. Every closed tunnel is mutually cosigned and can be verified onchain, Sui said.<\/p>\n

    Activity in the test spanned chat, games and payments, all gasless and offchain. Those categories were the test\u2019s focus, and Sui said builders can design their own tunnels for other uses.<\/p>\n

    \u201cIn an agentic economy, Sui doesn\u2019t need to process every interaction. It needs to be the trust layer for all of them,\u201d Abiodun said. He compared Sui to a court, and in that court, agents agree to the rules when they open a tunnel and reach a conclusion when they settle, and Sui steps in only when there is a dispute.<\/p>\n

    \u201cNo market in the world needs 6 million transactions per second, let alone 40 million: people just don\u2019t move that fast. Agents do,\u201d Abiodun said.<\/p>\n

    CertiK will examine the proofs, execution logs, journals and supporting evidence and publish a report in the coming days, Sui said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    July\u2019s livestream had a target of 1 million TPS, and Sui\u2019s earlier benchmark was 297,000 TPS in a controlled environment. That July run had participants sign in with zkLogin and play blackjack and Quantum Poker against AI agents using a test token.<\/p>\n

    Sui\u2019s mainnet stalled for nearly six hours in January, halting block production. The same network launched its USDsui stablecoin through Stripe-owned Bridge in November 2025.<\/p>\n
