#ChartoftheDay ZK rollup project Starknet said on Wednesday that it has shattered the record for transactions per second (TPS) among #Ethereum #Layer2 networks. It reached a peak of 857 TPS in a controlled stress test on October 29. The test averaged 127.5 TPS over a 24-hour period, outperforming Base’s 79.92 record of 24-hour TPS.

Different from the stress test of other networks, Starket’s stress test was conducted with a game called “Flippyflop” developed by Cartridge with Dojo. A press release states, “The tile game saw users competing against bots to check tiles on the grid. Bots worked to undo the gamers’ work by unchecking tiles at random. As such, the theme was 'human vs. machine.' The high pace of simple transactions generated during this game was designed to be the ultimate test for Starknet’s TPS.”

While Starknet is currently behind its competitors in terms of total value locked (TVL) in #DeFi , it is worth watching because of its unique technology and innovativeness. This breakthrough in TPS also means that it could have great potential for on-chain #gaming and consumer apps that require large-scale user interactions.
