High-Performance Blockchain Testing

Avalanche, a smart contract layer-1 blockchain network, has reported that its testnet has achieved over 140,000 transactions per second (TPS) during testing of its HyperSDK blockchain upgrade. HyperSDK is designed to allow developers to easily create custom Virtual Machines (VMs) with lightning-fast execution speeds, reducing the need for extensive coding.

Impressive Transaction Speeds

The controlled testing environment saw HyperSDK reach an impressive 143,322 TPS, according to a screenshot shared on GitHub. By comparison, Avalanche currently processes up to 4,500 TPS, Solana claims between 2,000 and 3,000 TPS, and Ethereum manages just 15-20 TPS.

Optimization and Customization

Speaking to Cointelegraph's Andrew Fenton, Nick Mussallem, the head of product at Ava Labs, stated that he expects real-world throughput to eventually settle around 50,000 TPS. He explained that Avalanche developers optimized the blockchain by removing unnecessary elements from the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and enhancing the consensus algorithm.

HyperChains for Enhanced Functionality

Blockchains built with HyperSDK will function as subnets called HyperChains and can be customized for any specific purpose. Developers will have access to a user-friendly GUI and a choice of VM, and Mussallem claims that launching a HyperChain can be done in just five minutes.

Early Stages and Future Plans

While HyperSDK is open source and available for use, Mussallem acknowledged that it is still in the early beta stages. The official launch and production readiness are expected by the end of the year.
