Hyperscale Open Source Release

Overview

Following the completion of the interim Hyperscale phase, the Radix Foundation plans to open-source all remaining code, documentation, and operational material. This will enable the community to independently reproduce test results, verify performance claims, and build upon the codebase for future R&D.

What Will Be Released

• Source code — the full Hyperscale codebase used in the 500k+ TPS public test
• Setup guides — Terraform and Ansible automation for deploying test networks
• Network configuration — shard topology, validator setup, bootstrap node configs
• Workload tooling — spam/load generation tools optimized for multi-core utilization
• Reproducibility guidance — documentation for replicating the public test at scale
• Dashboards and log files — observability tooling from the public test

Test Results

The January 2026 public test sustained 500,000 TPS with peaks above 800,000 TPS. Transactions were real DeFi-style swaps executed across 128 shards on commodity AWS hardware (m6i.xlarge: 4 cores, 16GB RAM). The test confirmed linear scaling — doubling from 64 to 128 shards doubled throughput proportionally. The network included 384 bootstrap nodes, 40 validator nodes, and 6 load-generation nodes.
