Noticed any major transaction spikes recently? Block Explorer and Indexing Service Chopped Has stress-tested BSV network. The tests, which started just over a week ago, are partly designed to validate upgrades to Bitails infrastructure and code base, as well as the BSV network itself.
Bitails has been part of the BSV ecosystem for about three years now, and at that time tests were conducted involving millions of transactions regularly in a short time. Abrasive Meysam Rezaei Said it prepares the company’s system for high load scenarios, benefits miners by simulating conditions that they can encounter and ensure that their system is robust.
The test aims to optimize the UTXO set and update performance during intensive activity, Rezaei added. Bitails have added approximately 3 billion Utxos (so far) to generate load at the network’s top capacity.
“We came to 7,000 TPS two days ago and could go higher, but that was not the plan at that time,” he said. “TPS,” or transactions per second, refers to the number of transactions sent to the network and the transactions that are broken. In one sentence, that number may be underway, but in others Bitails found that the network performed better than expected.
When you increase the load on the network in this way, everything can seem good at first. However, Transactions Can eventually get caught up in the Mempool and not be broken – Rezaei said this was a problem that was encountered during previous stress tests. The company hopes to be able to perform at least 10,000 offensive TPS to check both parts and if the BSV nodes can handle the load, they can try to squeeze it to 20k, even if they do not expect the real number to pass 10,000. The tests saw 10k at one point but could not make it sustainable, not even by increasing the fees.
“BSV is aimed at massive scalability and currently claims 5,000 TPs (previously 50,000 TP according to the sources at that time) with potential for millions in the future,” Rezaei said. “As indexers, we have reviewed our code base and infrastructure to effectively manage this scale without relying on expensive, large systems.”
Bitails is “all about efficiency,” he said. This keeps costs low and doing Bsv practical for business and ordinary users.
“As an independent team, not bound to major investors or business players, we focus on what is best for BSV-Blockchain’s long-term success. Our latest stress test is about finding and fixing weak places to make BSV reliable for real use, so companies can count on it,” he pointed out.
Are everyone happy with stress tests? Well … yes and no
Stress tests will always release some controversy. BSV is an open, Generally blockchain With many moving parts and projects working on the network. As such, Bitail’s certain criticism – both mild and more open – has over that test transactions can clog the network for other users.
As the company pointed out, scalability and massive transaction Throughout is BSV’s important outlets. At least it should be able to perform under pressure. Pressure as it will only increase in the future, even at best, as more and more Applications Start using the network.
“Without such preparation, a malicious actor can interfere with the network or our systems at low cost. While testing on our main infrastructure can cause temporary user problems, it is critical for long-term scalability and an elastic blockchain ecosystem. In the end, we aim to identify and solve bottles in the BSV Ecos system.
The second question Bitail’s test increases is: Why now? Is not Teranode About to get to everyone, with the potential to handle thousands, or even millions, of transactions per second?
According to Rezaei, backed up by some of Bitail’s comments on X, they simply became tired of waiting for Teranode to be available for the masses and decided to start testing with the current (sv nod) setting and pressed it as far as it would go.
“Our goal is clear: Find all weak places in our infrastructure that can cause problems and fix them before they become problems. So far the results look very good for Bitails, we found some smaller bugs and fixed them. And also (it) BSV network is to handle larger UTXO sets better than we expected.
(We note that although the open source code for Teranode has not yet been released, it has been available for some for a while now. BSV services such as Gorilla pool is already using it.)
Bitails says it will also launch a solo index service soon. This simple, affordable tool allows users to manage their BSV data without large technical budgets or complex settings. Rezaei said this reflects Bitail’s commitment to effective solutions and helps companies grow with BSV while supporting the wider community of developers, users and even miners.
