The Ethereum network has achieved a remarkable milestone, with its scaling solutions reaching an all-time high of 246.18 transactions per second (TPS). This impressive feat was recorded on Sunday, June 16, despite the ongoing crypto winter that has affected the market since April. According to blockchain analytics company L2BEAT, this achievement is a testament to the growing activity on the Ethereum ecosystem.

The TPS measure is crucial in evaluating a blockchain network's performance, as it indicates how many transactions can be processed in one second. A higher TPS means reduced delays and improved overall efficiency. In this case, Ethereum's scaling solutions, including layer 2 and layer 3 blockchains, have demonstrated a significant increase in performance.

L2BEAT data reveals that Xai, an Arbitrum-based layer 3 game network, contributed significantly to this milestone, processing over 41% of the total TPS. Xai's TPS improved dramatically, from just one transaction per day on June 10 to 101.72 TPS on June 16. Other notable contributors include Base and Arbitrum, which took second and third positions respectively.

While some networks have excelled in terms of TPS, their total value locked (TVL) has been less impressive. Xai, for instance, has only $1.38 million in TVL, despite its high TPS. In contrast, Arbitrum One and Coinbase's Base boast significantly higher TVLs, at $18 billion and $7.6 billion respectively.

In conclusion, Ethereum's scaling ecosystem has reached new heights, demonstrating the network's growing efficiency and scalability. This achievement is a testament to the ongoing innovation and development in the Ethereum ecosystem, despite the challenging market conditions. As the network continues to evolve, we can expect even more impressive milestones in the future.
