Hyperscale-RS Community Implementation

Overview

Hyperscale-RS is a community-led initiative to build a Rust implementation of the Hyperscale sharded consensus protocol. Following the Foundation's transition of Hyperscale development to the community, this project represents the primary path toward bringing sharded consensus to the Radix mainnet.

The Radix Foundation has provisioned compute capacity for the team to run scaled tests, and the upcoming open-source release of the original Hyperscale codebase will provide additional reference material.

Background

The original Hyperscale implementation was developed under the Foundation's interim phase, achieving 500,000+ sustained TPS in public testing. With the 2026 strategy shifting to community-led development, the hyperscale-rs team — along with other community initiatives — is taking ownership of advancing the sharding roadmap.

The team coordinates via the hyperscale-rs Telegram group (320+ members).
