According to PANews, Ethereum's transaction per second (TPS) has soared to a historic high due to a sudden surge in Layer3's TPS. Data from L2BEAT shows that on June 16, the Ethereum scaling network, including Layer2 and Layer3 blockchains, recorded a total of 246.18 TPS, equivalent to an estimated 21.2 million transactions throughout the day. Over 41% of these transactions occurred on Xai, a new Ethereum Layer3 expansion solution focused on gaming applications and supported by Offchain Labs. Prior to June 10, Xai's TPS hovered around 1 per day, but it has been rising almost daily since then, reaching a peak of 101.72 TPS on June 16.

Base and Arbitrum ranked second and third on June 16, with 33 and 21 TPS respectively. The fourth place was taken by Proof of Play Apex, another Ethereum Layer3 expander centered on gaming launched by Offchain Labs. However, the total value locked (TVL) of Xai and Proof of Play Apex remains relatively small, at $1.38 million and $695,000 respectively. In contrast, the two largest Ethereum expansion solutions, Arbitrum One and Base, currently have a TVL of $18 billion and $7.6 billion respectively.

Note: This announcement was last updated on 2024-06-20 to state that Binance will continue to list FET trading pairs and its associated products, and rename the project name from “Fetch.ai” to “Artificial Superintelligence Alliance”.

According to PANews, the final date for the merger of Fetch.AI, SingularityNET, and Ocean Protocol tokens has been postponed from June 13, 2024, to July 15, 2024. The official statement suggests that this adjustment in the timeline was necessary to accommodate the logistical needs and technical dependencies of exchanges, validators, and a broader ecosystem of collaborators. The preparatory phase of the token merger involves managing complex integrations, careful coordination, and attention to numerous active parts.

These third-party dependencies are crucial for the smooth execution of the token merger process, ensuring that all stakeholders' needs are fully met. The existing FET, AGIX, and OCEAN tokens will continue to trade independently on exchanges. Once the third-party integration is completed, the ASI token will be launched, and FET, AGIX, and OCEAN will cease independent trading and merge into the ASI token.
