At one point, Base was close to 1000 TPS, making it a step closer to Solana's performance
PANews reported on May 30 that according to Cointelegraph, the number of transactions processed by Coinbase's Layer2 network Base was once close to 1,000 transactions per second, making its performance closer to Solana, a Layer1 blockchain. On May 29, Jesse Pollak, founder of Base, said on X that Base continued to maintain nearly 1,000 TPS of processing power during the token offering on the Virtuals AI platform. Chainspect data shows that the instantaneous peak of Base reached 959 TPS, with a theoretical maximum of 1429 TPS, but the real-time TPS remained at around 156, a peak driven by the boom in token issuance or meme coin trading on Base by other platforms. Basescan reports that the network has a current TPS of 137.
In comparison, according to Chainspect (excluding data such as voting transactions), Solana currently has a throughput of 1,039 transactions per second. Solscan reports a similar figure of 1,029 for "true TPS".
