First L2 in History Smashes Through 100 TPS Milestone

The developers of Starknet, a second-layer solution for Ethereum (ETH) on the Kakarot virtual machine and Cairo programming language, shared details of its major accomplishment. More and more dApps are coming to try the performance of the most eccentric Ethereum L2 so far.

Starknet becomes first Ethereum L2 with 100 TPS

Starknet, a L2 network on top of Ethereum (ETH), reached the 126 transactions per second (TPS) peak bandwidth yesterday, on Aug. 25, 2023. This is the first time in Ethereum L2 segment history when the scaling solution reports triple-digit TPS.

Uri Kolodny, CEO and co-founder of StarkWare Ltd., the development team behind Starknet, added that the 1,000 TPS milestone will also be conquered by his product first:

Starknet is the first L2 to break the 100 TPS mark. I'll bet an ice cream it will also be the first to break the 1000 TPS mark.
