ChainCatcher news, Starknet announced a new record for transaction speed in the Ethereum Layer-2 network, with a maximum transaction rate (TPS) of 127.5 within 24 hours, and a peak reaching 857 TPS, far exceeding the previous record of 79.92 TPS set by Coinbase's Layer 2 Base.This test was jointly conducted by StarkWare, game development company Cartridge, and the Starknet Foundation, simulating large-scale user scenarios.

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, Solana validators have passed a proposal aimed at reducing consensus "voting" delays and accelerating on-chain transaction speeds.It is reported that the proposal calls for the implementation of a "timely voting points" mechanism on Solana, which was approved on April 9 with 98% of the votes in favor.Additionally, this will change the mechanism by which validators "vote" to confirm transactions. The proposal was put forward by the Solana validator Shinobi Systems' "zantetsu," and will implement a variable number of voting points, providing more points for votes with lower delays. Solana Labs stated that this will prevent intentional "delays," as delayed votes will reduce the number of points that can be earned from that vote.
