Challenge

In the world of Ethereum scaling solutions, speed and efficiency are paramount. Starknet, a zero-knowledge rollup network, has <a href="https://x.com/Starknet/status/1851499376142926005" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">redefined</a> these standards by shattering the transactions per second (TPS) record among Ethereum layer-2 networks.&nbsp;
<h2 id="b-racing-to-the-top-in-layer-2-performance-b">Racing to the Top in Layer-2 Performance</h2>
During a 24-hour period, Starknet reached a max TPS of 127.5, outpacing Coinbase’s Base’s previous record of 79.92 TPS far behind. This achievement unfolded during a gaming dress rehearsal that stressed the network’s capability to handle high transaction volumes.&nbsp;

 Records are meant to be broken.
 Yesterday, we reached a new peak of 857 TPS on Starknet Mainnet (thanks to <a href="https://twitter.com/cartridge_gg?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@cartridge_gg</a>), shattering our earlier record of 503 TPS.
 Our scaling is real, and we’re just getting started. See you in 2025 to break this record again. <a href="https://t.co/E2cXctaXcL" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">pic.twitter.com/E2cXctaXcL</a>

This recent test was not a regular performance run; it was a high-stakes trial that proved Starknet could handle heavy traffic demands under real-world conditions.&nbsp;
<a href="https://thecoinrise.com/starknet-community-greenlights-new-staking-mechanism-for-strk-tokens/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Starknet</a>’s record-breaking speed is more than a technical milestone; it demonstrates its commitment to enabling high-volume applications. Starknet has set the bar higher for Ethereum layer-2 solutions with this recent achievement.
As developers and users demand more from blockchain platforms, Starknet’s recent test shows what Ethereum scaling could look like soon.
<h2 id="b-human-vs-machine-the-flippyflop-challenge-b">Human vs. Machine: The FlippyFlop Challenge</h2>
&nbsp;The record-breaking test was no simple feat. StarkWare, the Starknet Foundation, and game development firm Cartridge came together to create a network’s ultimate trial with a tile-based game called FlippyFlop.&nbsp;
In the game, players competed against bots to check tiles on a grid while bots randomly unchecked them, creating a human vs. machine showdown.&nbsp;
This fast-paced challenge generated over 11 million daily transactions, reaching a network peak of 857 TPS.

Despite Starknet’s triumph in speed, it remains lower on the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) leaderboard than Base and Arbitrum in terms of Total Value Locked (TVL).&nbsp;
According to DeFi Llama, Starknet’s TVL currently stands at $235.7 million, compared to <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/coinbases-base-surpasses-2b-in-tvl-detail/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Base’s $2.64 billion</a> and Arbitrum’s $2.44 billion. This decline reflects a significant drop from <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/starknet-strk-dominates-tvl-soars-to-1-32b-after-token-debut/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Starknet’s February high of $1.32 billion in deposits on the network.&nbsp;</a>
However, the race among layer-2 solutions is more than just about deposits. It also involves metrics like transaction speed, interoperability, and decentralization.
Starknet’s sophisticated cryptography and technical foundation position it as a contender with strength beyond simple rankings.
