What happened
The layer-1 blockchain said its programmable offchain tunnels reached the milestone during a live stress test designed to simulate high-frequency activity between AI agents.
Reported details
- Sui has reported peak throughput of 40.6 million transactions per second in a live offchain test involving more than 10,000 tunnels, exceeding its July result of about 6.1 million TPS. Sui Foundation said the Oct. 7 demonstration tested infrastructure for…
Why this matters
This reads as a change in infrastructure rather than a move in price, and that distinction decides what is worth verifying: whether the underlying record moved, or only the interface around it. If a ledger, custodian or settlement term is unchanged, then anything built on top of it behaves the same too, however the announcement is framed. Subject of the report: Sui tunnels.
Evidence boundary
The scope is limited to what the linked reports state, and where two of them diverge both positions are recorded without either being picked in advance.
What to verify
If Sui tunnels points at a contract or a chain, verify the deployed address and version there. If it describes an internal or corporate change with no on-chain component, the chain is the wrong place to look.
