#Cardano scaling protocol Hydra has recorded a major milestone after surpassing the 1 million transactions per second (TPS) threshold.
Hydra’s proficiency has scaled impressively while being tested in the latest Doom gaming competition. Earlier today, the protocol broke the 1 million transactions per second (TPS) mark, becoming one of the fastest in the crypto ecosystem.
Hydra Hits Major Transaction Milestone
On its own, Cardano is one of the fastest layer-1 networks out there, with an impressive TPS capability.
Meanwhile, Cardano introduced the Hydra Head to improve the network’s scalability further, testing the protocol with the latest Hydra Doom tournament. Notably, the Cardano team launched the 90’s FPS game Doom on Hydra in August, with each frame of the game a transaction on the protocol.
Meanwhile, as the tournament progressed, Hydra’s transaction acumen grew. The team announced today that with over 25,000 concurrent players, the Cardano scaling solution has surpassed 1 million TPS, trouncing earlier assertions that the protocol cannot attain the milestone.
It bears mentioning that Hydra’s new record is in a game test. The protocol’s theoretical throughput will be well-tested in a real-life simulation with users transacting on it.
