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 an unprecedented 15. 52 million transactions per second (TPS) on its live Layer 1 mainnet. This milestone was independently verified and published by CertiK, a leading blockchain security and auditing firm. Unlike many earlier tests performed under isolated conditions, Qubic’s achievement was realized live on mainnet—with no rollups, no gas fees, and no Layer 2 dependencies. Verified Mainnet Performance Qubic’s team executed a live stress test on mainnet utilizing its native tick-based architecture. Although the test spanned an extended runtime with numerous ticks processed, the certified performance figure—15. 52 million TPS and 1. 518 billion transfers—is based on the top 10 peak ticks that CertiK verified. Key Metrics (certified by CertiK): - Peak TPS: 15, 527, 637 - Total Transfers: 1. 518 billion - Finality: Instant, with zero delay In comparison to leading blockchain networks: - TON: 104, 715 TPS (simulated burst testnet) - Solana: approximately 65, 000 TPS (under optimal conditions) - Sui, Aptos, Arbitrum: all below 1 million TPS - Qubic: 15. 52 million TPS — achieved on mainnet Built for Advanced Compute — AI, DePIN, AGI Qubic’s breakthrough extends beyond speed to include robust capability. Its unique tick-based architecture provides atomic consensus, execution, and finality within one synchronized cycle. This architecture supports use cases previously hindered by blockchain limitations: - AI compute: inference, pipelines, and training workflows - DePIN networks: sensor meshes and geospatial routing - Composable DeFi: real-time logic with immediate finality CertiK Report and Explorer Access All test data is fully transparent and accessible through: - Qubic Explorer — on-chain tick data and logs - Performance Visualizer — detailed graphical analysis - Complete CertiK Report — the official certification document About Qubic Qubic is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain engineered for real-time decentralized computation.

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.
