Starknet’s Quantum Leap hits testnet with TPS reaching ‘triple figures’
Starknet's latest upgrade will scale the ZK rollup's throughput by 50X or more. But capacity is very different to real world usage. Starknet’s Quantum Leap upgrade has been deployed on testnet , with the Ethereum layer-2 scaling protocol claiming it's capable of processing "hundreds of transactions per second." If achieved, it would be at least a 50X improvement from its current throughput, thanks to the Version 12 upgrade harmonizing how the sequencer's code interacts with the Cairo programming language. A Starknet fact sheet states that the "time to inclusion" after the upgrade goes live on mainnet "will be under 15 seconds" meaning DApps will be able to confirm transactions on-chain within seconds. Co-founder Uri Kolodny was a little more circumspect in an interview with Cointelegraph, stating that the upgrade has hit " triple figures " during testing so far. If this throughput is mirrored in real-world usage — and high TPS ...
