SmartHoldem Testnet set New Record! SmartHoldem!
SmartHoldem testnet set New Record! Evaluation of performance and scalability.
On July 31 at 18:00 UTC, the SmartHoldem test net stress test took place.
101 people took part in the stress test.
Thanks to all the participants!
SmartHoldem Testnet has reached a new milestone: 5 529 600 000 operations per day!
The stress test aimed to simulate real-world conditions as closely as possible. Its purpose was to assess the blockchain's capabilities under increased transaction load, to verify the network's security against spam attacks, and to measure the number of transactions processed by the blockchain per second, hour, and day.
Together, we achieved record-breaking results, reflecting hard work, commitment, and determination demonstrated by the SmartHoldem community.
This stress test is extremely important for the network's development. It has helped to assess the stability of a potential SmartHoldem mainnet hard fork and demonstrate the exceptional scalability and efficiency of the SmartHoldem blockchain.
During the stress test, a record was set for processing transactions in the blockchain - 1,000,000 transactions in 30 minutes!

Test network
The test network has 23 nodes. 21 nodes are blockchain validators. Block time 8 seconds. The network fees change dynamically depending on the load and cannot exceed 1 STH.
Currently, the Testnet node's technical specification is 8GB RAM, CPU 2, and 24GB HDD.
One transaction can include multiple payments (transactions L2), this process is called bundling and is a more efficient way to send funds to multiple recipients. For this reason, while the SmartHoldem network comprises blocks of transactions, looking at the number of payments (transactions L2) is the best indicator of overall network activity. Payments are only counted after their transactions are included in a block.
We analyzed different hash rates depending on the transaction load. Below are performance and scalability calculations for the SmartHoldem blockchain
Each stress test participant was given 10,000 test coins. When the balance of coins was used up, receiving additional coins and continuing participation was possible.
No additional specialized software/hardware was required to participate in the stress test.
SmartHoldem developers have created SmartHoldem Testnet UI https://smartholdem.io/stress-test , which connects the user to the test net.
It has the following functionality:
- getting an address on the testnet
- creating and sending transactions
- multi payments
- network and user statistics
- block explorer
- getting a new address
- number of stress test participants
- network uptime in stress test mode
- a new random recipient address is generated for each transaction
SmartHoldem test net is still running, so if you didn't have time to take part in the test, you can do it now!
- Open the testnet UI page https://smartholdem.io/stress-test and run your own test.
- You will be given 10,000 test coins.
- Testnet block explorer https://testnet-explorer.smartholdem.io/#/ .
