Psy Protocol achieves 521,000 TPS and offers a $100,000 bounty for verification

Psy Protocol announced that it has achieved 521,000 transactions per second (TPS) on a real-world proof-of-work network, setting a new record for decentralized system throughput. The testing was supported by Google Cloud, and all transactions are verifiable on-chain, with complete data and cryptographic proofs open-sourced for independent auditing.

The team stated that this result was achieved without sacrificing decentralization, security, or privacy, and has established a $100,000 bounty for anyone who can prove the results invalid. Carter Feldman, founder of Psy Protocol, said, "This is not a development network demonstration or theoretical calculation; every result is verifiable."

This test demonstrates the infrastructure capabilities for a future AI agent economy, making high-frequency micropayments, continuous clearing markets, and large-scale AI collaboration feasible. Psy Protocol breaks through traditional blockchain throughput bottlenecks through parallel state architecture, client-generated proofs, recursive zero-knowledge proofs, and horizontal scaling design.
