Cardano says Leios public testnet hit 6x mainnet peak processing capacity

Cardano’s throughput upgrade proposal, Leios, has completed operation on the Earth-phase public testnet, according to Techub News, citing U.Today. The test ran for 41 days and reached peak processing capacity equal to six times that of the Cardano mainnet. During the stable operating phase, the system carried 54% of on-chain traffic. The report said the upgrade increased network transaction capacity without changing Cardano’s security model, a point that positions the result as a technical check on whether scaling gains can be achieved without altering the chain’s core security assumptions. In the final phase of the test, Leios moved transaction volume equal to 18 times the mainnet level and data volume equal to 3.3 times the mainnet level. The completion of the test was presented as technical validation for Cardano’s broader scaling upgrade. No additional implementation timeline was provided in the source material.
