Conduit G3: 10k TPS
Conduit’s G3 sequencer is being touted at 10,000 transactions per second — a headline stat making the rounds in Ethereum ecosystem threads today (x.com). Developers are calling it a benchmark for high‑throughput settlement layers even as debates continue over decentralization tradeoffs (x.com).
Conduit co‑authored and helped implement EIP‑7966’s eth_sendRawTransactionSync and published a case study showing roughly 10× latency improvements and materially higher trade throughput on the Ethereal DEX after adopting the RPC change. (conduit.xyz) Conduit’s public G2 specifications list a sustained throughput target of 50–100 Mgas/s and give concrete examples such as 4,762 ETH transfers per second and 667 ERC‑20 swaps per second under G2. (conduit.xyz) Industry coverage around Conduit’s prior launch described the G2 gains as coming from “database optimization and tuning” plus algorithmic improvements, framing those same levers as the technical lineage behind any G3 claims. (blockworks.com) Several outlets and aggregators published short previews referencing a Conduit G3 preview and tying EIP‑7966 adoption to multi‑order‑of‑magnitude latency and trade‑rate improvements for trading chains, but those writeups were summaries rather than full technical releases. (aixbt.tech) Conversation in developer and ecosystem threads has shifted from raw TPS numbers to governance and censorship‑resistance questions after sequencer incidents such as Base’s August 5, 2025 stoppage (about a 30‑minute halt), which critics used to argue that single‑operator sequencers trade availability and censorship risk for speed. (cryptoninjas.net) Conduit’s public channels and blog currently document G2 performance and the EIP‑7966 work but do not (as of March 26, 2026) host a detailed G3 technical whitepaper or independently verifiable benchmark dataset, leaving community verification and independent testnet traces as the next steps for confirming any 10k TPS claim.
