Venom Foundation’s Breakthrough: 150,000 TPS Achieved in Closed Network Stress Test, Setting the Stage for 2025 Mainnet Launch

Abu Dhabi, UAE, May 23rd, 2025, The Venom Foundation successfully completed a closed-network stress test of its next-generation protocol, processing an impressive 150,000 transactions per second (TPS) and finalizing all transfers in under three seconds. This achievement paves the way for the mainnet launch in Q3 2025, positioning Venom as one of the highest-throughput public blockchains available.

“High throughput only matters if it remains reliable under pressure,” said Christopher Louis, CEO of Venom. “Our new architecture can handle massive, mission-scale workloads without spiking costs or compromising decentralization—exactly what financial services providers, exchanges, and game studios need.”

Why This Matters to Markets

* Scalability: DAG-based mempool consensus unlocks the potential for 400,000+ TPS in synthetic benchmarks while maintaining real-time finality.
* Fair Transaction Flow: The distributed sorting layer transforms the DAG into a single linear chain, mitigating front-running and other MEV exploits.
* Parallel Smart Contract Execution: The TVM actor model shards accounts and processes calls asynchronously, enabling high-volume DeFi and microtransactions.
* Deterministic Security: Validators generate identical outputs, meaning finality is reached once 2n + 1 signatures are collected, making forks virtually impossible.
* Lean Networking Footprint: Asynchronous block distribution keeps bandwidth costs low for operators and cloud partners.

Path to Production

* Testnet (Q2 2025): Security audits, ecosystem tooling, third-party audits
* Mainnet Migration (Q3 2025): Feature-rich hard fork
* Ecosystem Growth (Q4 2025): Cross-chain bridges, feature-complete SDKs

Transparency

All raw data, node configurations, and test scripts will be published to Venom’s public GitHub repository before the testnet launch. Independent auditors are currently reviewing both the security and performance aspects of the project.
