Stellar Benchmarks Fee-Free Network at 7 Million Transactions per Second
- —Benchmark hit 7.02 million payments per second across eight machines
- —All machines ran inside a single validator
- —The test processed transactions without fees
- —Foundation has not decided how the setup relates to mainnet
Why it matters: If the throughput holds in real-world conditions, Stellar could challenge payment-focused blockchains on capacity.
