Ethereum’s Buterin Reacts to New TPS Record

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin reacted to the network’s latest scaling milestone with a celebratory social media post.

The popular network recorded a new transaction per second (TPS) record of 3,453 at 14:37 UTC.

The typical average speed of Ethereum is about 15-30 TPS on the main network (Layer 1) under normal network conditions.

With Layer 2 rollups (Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, zkSync) included, the combined Ethereum ecosystem is capable of processing hundreds to a few thousand TPS in total.

Kudos to zkSync

As reported by U.Today, Buterin recently praised zkSync Atlas as “underrated and valuable.”

Recently, he also identified the technology known as PeerDAS (peer data available sampling) as crucial for the ETH scale.

Buterin previously argued that scalability was a substantial bottleneck for the second largest blockchain.
