Stellar Tests Thruput Technology at 7 Million Transactions Per Second

The Stellar project conducted large-scale tests of its new Thruput architecture, demonstrating record-breaking performance. During testing on eight Amazon Web Services servers, a processing speed of up to 7 million payments per second was achieved.

A key feature of the technology is the ability to process transactions in parallel, even if they affect the same accounts. This solution allows the system to scale effectively by adding new servers, which directly increases the overall network throughput.

The economic model of Thruput differs significantly from traditional approaches: the system completely eliminates fees for individual transactions. Instead, it uses a computational resource allocation model based on the user's balance of native tokens.

It remains an open question regarding the future integration of this development. It is unclear whether the Thruput architecture will become an integral part of the Stellar ecosystem or if it will evolve as an independent blockchain project.
