Venom Foundation’s native token saw a modest price bump following a closed-network stress test that showcased the blockchain processing 150,000 transactions per second (TPS)—more than double Solana’s theoretical maximum of 65,000 TPS.
The announcement, made on May 23, marks a key milestone as Venom approaches its mainnet launch set for Q3 2025. With performance exceeding both Solana and even Visa’s 24,000 TPS, the test reinforced Venom’s technical ambition to lead in scalability.
The VENOM token rose 2%, reaching an intraday high of $0.1031.
Enterprise-Grade Infrastructure the Core Focus
The Venom Foundation conducted the stress test to assess the blockchain’s performance under enterprise-grade loads. According to CEO Christopher Louis, reliability at scale was the primary objective.
“Throughput only matters if it can remain reliable under pressure,” Louis said. “We’re targeting DeFi platforms, exchanges, and game developers—businesses that need scalable, predictable infrastructure.”
Venom aims to serve high-throughput applications in DeFi, payment gateways, and Web3 gaming.
DAG-Based Architecture Unlocks Parallel Processing
Unlike traditional blockchains, Venom is built on Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) technology, allowing transactions to be validated in parallel. This enables higher throughput without network congestion or bottlenecks.
DAG systems are faster and more scalable because they don’t rely on sequential block confirmation. That architectural choice positions Venom as a serious contender in the scalable DeFi infrastructure space.
Regulatory Framework and Nonprofit Mission
Headquartered in Abu Dhabi and legally registered in the Cayman Islands, Venom Foundation is structured as a nonprofit. The organization is focused on creating open, secure, and scalable blockchain infrastructure for decentralized applications.
Its upcoming mainnet launch in 2025 is expected to bring enterprise clients and institutional-grade dApps into the ecosystem.
