Ile Du Port, Mahe, Seychelles, April 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Qubic has officially set a new record for the fastest transaction speed ever achieved on a blockchain, reaching 15. 52 million transactions per second (TPS) on its live Layer 1 mainnet. This achievement was independently verified and published by CertiK, a leading blockchain security and auditing firm. Unlike many prior tests conducted in isolated environments, Qubic’s milestone was achieved live on mainnet — with no rollups, no gas fees, and no reliance on Layer 2 solutions. Verified Performance on Mainnet The Qubic team performed a live stress test on mainnet utilizing its native tick-based architecture. Although the test ran for an extended period with numerous ticks executed, the certified performance result — 15. 52 million TPS and 1. 518 billion transfers — is based on the 10 peak ticks verified by CertiK. Key Metrics (verified by CertiK): - Peak TPS: 15, 527, 637 - Total Transfers: 1. 518 billion - Finality: Instant, zero delay Comparing to leading networks: - TON: 104, 715 TPS (simulated testnet burst) - Solana: ~65, 000 TPS (under ideal conditions) - Sui, Aptos, Arbitrum: All under 1 million TPS - Qubic: 15. 52 million TPS — achieved on mainnet Designed for Real Compute — AI, DePIN, AGI Qubic’s breakthrough is not just about speed, but capability. Its unique tick-based architecture provides atomic consensus, execution, and finality within a single synchronized cycle. This architecture supports use cases previously constrained by blockchain limitations: - AI compute: inference, pipelines, and training - DePIN networks: sensor mesh, geospatial routing - Composable DeFi: real-time logic with instant finality The CertiK Report and Explorer Data All test results are fully auditable and accessible through: - Qubic Explorer — on-chain tick data and logs - Performance Visualizer — graphical breakdown - Full CertiK Report — official certification documentation About Qubic Qubic is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain built for real-time decentralized computing.

Powered by uPoW and tick-based consensus, it offers zero-fee transactions, instant finality, and unmatched throughput — enabling scalable infrastructure for AI, DePIN, DeFi, and AGI-level applications.
