Venom Foundation Successfully Completes Closed-Network Stress Test of Its Next-Generation Protocol

The Venom Foundation has successfully completed a closed-network stress test of its next-generation protocol, which is capable of completing 150,000 transactions per second (TPS) and finalizing all transfers in under three seconds.

The Venom Foundation has successfully completed a closed-network stress test of its next-generation protocol, which is capable of sustaining 150,000 transactions per second (TPS) and confirming all deposits within three seconds.

The integration of this upgrade is anticipated in Q3 2025, positioning Venom among the most efficient throughput public blockchains.

“Throughput only matters if it can stay reliable under pressure,” said Christopher Louis, Chief Executive Officer at Venom. “Our new stack can handle enterprise-scale workloads without spiking fees or compromising decentralization, which is exactly what payment providers, exchanges, and game studios need.”

What It Means for Markets

The Venom Foundation is introducing a significant upgrade to its core protocol in 2025. This upgrade will introduce a novel consensus engine, a next-generation throughput layer, and several new smart contracts functions.

The primary goal of this initiative is to optimize the network for large-scale decentralized applications (DApps) and open up new use cases for the Web3 ecosystem.

The introduction of this upgrade is planned for Q3 2025.

Path to Production

Testnet (Q2 2025) - Security audits, ecosystem tooling, third-party audits

Mainnet Migration (Q3 2025) - In-place hard fork

Ecosystem Expansion (Q4 2025) - Cross-chain bridges, feature-complete SDKs

Transparency

All raw data, node configurations, and test scripts will be published to Venom’s public GitHub repository ahead of the testnet launch. Independent auditors are currently reviewing both the security and performance aspects of the upgrade.
