The results of SEI's stress test just came out, with a sustained throughput of 256 TPS. The key point: 256 TPS running on EVM. This is the current mainnet performance.

SEI was born from a single goal from the very beginning—pursuing ultimate speed.

Finality confirmation in about 400 milliseconds, while other public chains are still loading blocks, SEI has already settled.

Market traders all know a rule: whoever's chain is faster, gets ahead first. You either catch up with this wave or be eliminated. Speed is the chip.

256 TPS? That's nowhere near enough, still need to keep pushing 400 milliseconds settlement? Sounds good, but it really depends on whether the actual transaction volume can handle it Speed is definitely an advantage, but who isn't playing the speed game now... Let's see if it can truly stand out later This kind of test data still feels questionable; whether it can be maintained in real operation remains to be seen Interesting, but I'm worried it might turn out to be a different story after going live Fast speed is great, but ultimately, gas fees and the ecosystem are what really matter

256 TPS running on EVM? Sounds good, but will actual transactions feel different in practice?

256 TPS running on EVM, to be honest, this number is quite impressive, but we'll have to wait for real transaction volume to see if it can stay stable.

Wait, 256 TPS on EVM? Need to confirm how this data was measured, single chain or cross-chain scenario... Otherwise, just looking at the numbers can easily lead to misconceptions.

ngl 256 tps on evm sounds clean but i've heard the speed pitch before... got liquidated chasing "fastest chain" hype back in the day lol. still watching tho, not gonna lie

Running at 256TPS on EVM looks good, but to be honest, it's still a bit uncertain. It depends on whether real-world testing can keep it stable. Speaking of 400 milliseconds confirmation time, it's definitely a selling point for traders. It all depends on whether the adoption rate can increase. Fast speed is great, but the ecosystem is the key. Without applications, how useful is speed alone?

Running this number on 256 TPS EVM, to be honest, I don't quite understand it. Can it really handle it? Wait, 400 milliseconds confirmation? Do traders buy into this? Why is the word "eliminated" used so harshly... Is it hinting at something? Still haven't seen the trading volume data from the exchange, what's the use of just talking about speed? Both speed and chips, copying the stock market's approach... but speed is indeed fast. If this number can truly run stably, I might have to consider it. EVM compatibility speed seems to be a hot topic now.

256TPS is indeed impressive, but it still depends on subsequent real-world testing data. Stress tests and actual network environments are too far apart. --- Running 256 on EVM is already considered high, but I wonder if it will shrink after going live. --- Fast speed is good, but what about transaction costs? Chasing speed alone is useless; a comprehensive view is necessary. --- Wait, is this data from the mainnet or testnet? If it's from the mainnet, I’ll believe it. Testnet numbers are often very inflated. --- 400 milliseconds confirmation... sounds good, but why does SEI still lack visibility? Is it my information gap or what? --- They talk about speed every day, but the ecosystem is fundamental. No matter how fast the applications are, they’re useless without adoption. --- Interesting, but all these chains claim to be fast. In the end, it’s all talk. Let’s wait for user data to tell the real story.

256TPS running on EVM? That's not quite feasible; it still depends on the actual transaction volume. --- 400 milliseconds confirmation speed sounds great, but what about ecosystem applications? That's still a problem. --- Fast speed is good, but the key is whether people are using it; otherwise, it's just self-congratulation. --- EVM compatibility is indeed good, but 256TPS still feels like a disadvantage compared to other L1s. --- These are stress test data; can it still perform like this during actual testing? --- I believe in SEI's approach, but I'm worried that ecosystem development can't keep up with the pace. --- The prerequisite for taking the lead is having trading counterparts; otherwise, no matter how fast it is, it's useless.
