X Space Recap: 100K+ TPS Real or Hype?

Yesterday the Pi Squared team went live to tackle one of the biggest questions in web3: is 100K+ TPS actually possible, or just hype.

Who joined
@RosuGrigore (Founder & CEO)
@Ovcd27 (Blockchain Developer - VSL)
@UBAmain (Community Lead)

Why TPS matters – @Ovcd27 broke down TPS and why it remains the benchmark for blockchain performance. Most chains today hit only hundreds or a few thousand TPS, limited by bottlenecks in traditional infrastructure.

FastSet breakthrough – @RosuGrigore explained how Pi²’s FastSet reached 100K+ TPS with sub 100ms finality on standard hardware. Unlike blockchains that rely on expensive machines, FastSet is actor based and avoids total ordering, opening the door to massive scalability.

Trust and speed – @Ovcd27 addressed the key tradeoff question. Even at 100K+ TPS, FastSet keeps decentralization and verifiability intact. That means speed without sacrificing trust.

Why it matters – High frequency trading, real-world assets, micropayments, and gaming all stand to gain. Pi² is already aiming at 1M TPS by mainnet, and ultra low latency could unlock entirely new real-time global applications.

Community Portal – @UBAmain introduced the Pi² Portal, your hub for FastSet learning, quests to earn points, and the Reactor TPS Game launching next week to stress test the network in real time.

Final takeaway – @RosuGrigore left us with this: the future of web3 may not look like blockchain at all. Pi² is building toward that vision with speed, simplicity, and scalability at its core!
