Psy Protocol achieves 521,000 TPS, offering a $100,000 bounty for verification

ChainCatcher news: Psy Protocol announced that it has achieved 521,000 transactions per second (TPS) on a live proof-of-work network, setting a new record for decentralized system throughput. The test was supported by Google Cloud, with all transactions verifiable on-chain, and complete data and cryptographic proofs have been open-sourced for independent auditing.

The team stated that this result was achieved without sacrificing decentralization, security, or privacy, and has set a $100,000 bounty for anyone able to prove the results invalid. Psy Protocol founder Carter Feldman said, "This is not a testnet demonstration or theoretical calculation; every result is verifiable."

This test demonstrates infrastructure capabilities for future AI agent economies, making high-frequency micro-payments, continuous clearing markets, and large-scale AI collaboration feasible. Psy Protocol breaks through traditional blockchain throughput bottlenecks through parallel state architecture, client-generated proofs, recursive zero-knowledge proofs, and horizontal scaling design.

Complete verification data and methods have been open-sourced, and users can access them here for inspection.
