CertiK Verifies 40.68M TPS in Sui Tunnel Test, but It's Not On-Chain Speed
- —Peak of 40,682,328 TPS recorded in the second 08:46:17–08:46:18 UTC on October 7
- —Best 60-second rolling average was 40.34M TPS, just 0.84% below the peak
- —15.24B off-chain transactions anchored via only 1,920 on-chain lifecycle transactions
- —CertiK did not re-run signatures or test behavior under normal use
Why it matters: The number is real and well documented, but it measures activity compression in tunnels, not Sui's throughput, so comparisons with TON and Qubic are misleading.
