Cardano sets a new record with 436 transactions per second in a single block. The Cardano blockchain has just set a new transaction throughput record, achieving 436 TPS in a single block on October 7, according to data from the analytics platform Chainspect. This surpasses the previous record of 345 TPS recorded earlier the same day. This new milestone demonstrates Cardano’s ability to handle sudden spikes in network activity. However, this TPS level was achieved in a single block and does not indicate sustained continuous performance at 436 TPS. Cardano is currently preparing for the Ouroboros Leios upgrade, aiming to significantly enhance network scalability and target approximately 1,000 TPS. Meanwhile, the Cardano ecosystem is showing further signs of growth, including the mainnet launch of RealFi, support for the Open Wallet Standard, and the introduction of CIP-0113, a programmable token standard for stablecoins and managed assets.
