Catenaa, Monday, June 02, 2025-The Venom Foundation has achieved a major technical milestone by clocking 150,000 transactions per second in a closed-network stress test, the group announced last Friday (23).
The result positions Venom for its planned mainnet upgrade in the third quarter of 2025.
Venom’s CEO Christopher Louis called the performance a breakthrough in reliability and scale.
The blockchain’s underlying architecture uses a DAG-based consensus mechanism that enables linear ordering of transactions and prevents front-running, a known vulnerability in decentralized finance.
The platform also incorporates asynchronous smart-contract execution and deterministic validator output, reducing the risk of network forks and optimizing transaction finality.
Synthetic benchmarks show the system could potentially scale to over 400,000 TPS, though Venom emphasized the importance of real-world performance under sustained load. Transactions are finalized in under three seconds, according to the foundation.
The roadmap includes a public testnet launch in the second quarter, followed by a hard fork for the mainnet upgrade in Q3.
The fourth quarter will focus on expanding the ecosystem with cross-chain bridges and development toolkits.
Venom said all technical documentation, configurations, and scripts will be made available on GitHub. Independent security and performance audits are also underway ahead of the launch.
The foundation is based in Abu Dhabi and registered in the Cayman Islands as a nonprofit promoting research and adoption of Venom blockchain infrastructure.
