💥 $NEAR Protocol Just Hit 1,000,000 TPS — A Massive Scalability Breakthrough
NEAR Protocol has officially reached 1 million transactions per second in benchmark tests — a huge milestone proving the power of its sharded, horizontally scalable L1 architecture.
Powered by Nightshade 2.0, NEAR’s next-gen sharding upgrade introduces stateless validation, improves execution + consensus efficiency, and distributes workloads across multiple shards. The result?
⚡ Faster block times
⚡ Quicker finality
⚡ Massive throughput on cost-efficient hardware
This leap forward strengthens NEAR’s ability to handle high-volume cross-chain DeFi, large-scale onchain AI workloads, and complex multi-chain interactions using intents and chain signatures.
NEAR isn’t just scaling — it’s redefining what scalable L1s can achieve.
