NEAR Protocol Blockchain Reaches 1 Million TPS in Public Testing

The developers of NEAR Protocol announced that the network has achieved a throughput of 1 million transactions per second (TPS) in a publicly verifiable benchmark. The team used real nearcore code and standard machines with 8-core CPUs, demonstrating that scaling does not require expensive infrastructure. The test was conducted across 70 shards, which made it possible to evaluate real efficiency. All data and scripts have been made publicly available so that any team can manually verify the results.

The developers emphasized that the test simulated realistic load and traffic distribution across shards. This is important because most high TPS results in the industry are achieved under conditions that do not reflect real-world usage. The NEAR team intentionally excluded specialized servers and used hardware typical of mainstream cloud services. The testing process helped identify technical bottlenecks and optimize several layers of the protocol. A significant portion of the improvements has already been delivered to the latest version of the mainnet.

NEAR representatives noted that reaching 1 million TPS is not the limit of the protocol’s scalability. NEAR’s architecture enables further growth through dynamic resharding and the separation of consensus and execution. These mechanisms allow performance to increase as the network grows, without replacing hardware. The team believes that horizontal scaling via sharding is the only long-term viable approach for high-load blockchains.

Project participants stated that the achieved throughput provides long-term scalability for the NEAR Intents ecosystem. High TPS is essential for applications with large data flows and high transaction frequency. The team highlights that the sharding architecture is well suited for AI-economy scenarios. Throughput limitations in such systems could become a barrier to adoption. NEAR aims to eliminate these limitations in advance. The blockchain infrastructure is already capable of competing with traditional payment systems. For comparison, Visa and Mastercard process around 80 thousand transactions per second under optimal conditions.
