Kaspa, a leading proof-of-work platform, has announced a groundbreaking achievement on its testnet. The company has successfully reached a rate of 10 Blocks Per Second (BPS), setting a new standard in the cryptocurrency industry.

The platform launched Testnet 11, a public experimental network, to achieve this impressive block rate. This development opens up new opportunities for innovation in the field of cryptocurrency.

Yonatan Sompolinsky, Founder of Kaspa and co-author of the GHOSTDAG protocol, expressed his excitement about the achievement. He emphasized that the system’s high sensitivity to errors and the need for top-notch execution capabilities make this a significant milestone.

Michael Sutton, a core developer at Kaspa, highlighted the importance of performance in cryptocurrency scalability. He pointed out that the scalability of a cryptocurrency is now limited by computation limits, not the protocol itself.

Shai Deshe, a Kaspa researcher, added that this is the first time a public proof-of-work network has achieved such high transaction rates on affordable hardware. He mentioned that surpassing 3000 TPS has been surprisingly effortless and raised the possibility of outperforming VISA.

This achievement is a significant step forward in realizing Satoshi Nakamoto’s vision of an efficient and widely adopted cryptocurrency. Kaspa’s use of blockDAG technology to handle high transaction volumes paves the way for future innovations in digital currencies.
