3 seconds feels fast to you.
to an AI agent, it's an eternity.
a human can make a payment and wait a few seconds.
an AI agent could make thousands of actions at once.
now imagine thousands of agents doing that continuously.
today's systems were built for people, so machine-scale activity can mean congestion, cost, and delay.
Sui tested a way to do that.
cryptographic tunnels let agents play, chat, and pay at high speed, while the final result settles on Sui.
the old mark was about 6 million actions per second.
then they ran the live test.
the counter climbed.
Sui later published the result:
40,614,180 actions per second, inside the tunnels.
that is the rate inside the tunnels, not 40 million ordinary transfers written on the chain at once.
CertiK was in the room. its written report is still to come.
