Key Context on Kaspa's TPSAchieved Peaks (Mainnet Records):September 14, 2025: 3,585 TPS September 17, 2025: 3,210 TPS September 18, 2025: 3,585 TPS (surpassing Solana's prior record of 2,909 TPS) September 28, 2025: 4,757 TPS October 2, 2025: 5,584 TPS (latest verified peak)

Theoretical vs. Real-World Limits:Kaspa's design supports sustained throughput around 3,000 TPS under normal conditions, with peaks exceeding this during high-activity bursts (e.g., mempool surges up to 500,000+ transactions). Unlike many blockchains, Kaspa's TPS figures are verifiable on-chain and exclude non-transaction messages (e.g., consensus artifacts), making them directly comparable to real user activity. Future upgrades (e.g., aiming for 32–100 blocks per second) could push theoretical max TPS to 10,000–32,000+, but as of today, 5,584 TPS represents the highest empirically achieved rate.
