Cause We Travel

Testnet Stress Test Summary [April 13, 2026] Following up on today’s stress test... Thank you all for your participation and support! The chain successfully sustained 10k+ TPS (native) for ~8 hours during epoch 503 (±), processing hundreds of millions of transactions. In the final phase, there was an introduced ERC-20 load, which drove near 100% block utilization. A couple of observations: → 🏆 >90% of validators did not experience a single timeout, highlighting the strength and resilience of the network’s decentralization. This also reinforces that we do not need to sacrifice throughput for decentralization, or vice versa. → 📝 Some validators did encounter issues. These are valuable signals, and we encourage operators to review logs and metrics to identify areas for improvement. This was a core objective of this exercise and will help us strengthen the network further. Big appreciation to the Category Labs team for continuously improving the client. The progress since the last test is leaps and bounds ahead, and they’re only getting started. Please feel free to share your observations or reach out if you have any questions.

Hi! Getting a lot of questions on Pro plan rate limits, so I wanted to clarify a few things: - Your Pro $100 plan includes at least 10x Plus usage, till May 31 with the 2X usage boost. - Your Pro $200 plan includes at least 20x Plus usage, till May 31 with the 2X usage boost. This is also the SAME usage this plan had since the 2x promo in February; we previously didn't document this explicitly. Now to address the confusion. Our pricing page says "5x or 20x usage", and many of you very understandably took it to mean "10x and 40x" given then 2X usage boost. That's our fault. We mixed up two things in a confusing way on that page - (1) sharing that the Pro $100 launched with a 2x boost, making it 10x Plus till May 31 and (2) sharing that Pro $200 retained its 2x boost and sharing for the first time that this equates to 20x Plus. We're going to update our pricing pages to make this clearer. Sorry it wasn't as clear as it should have in the first place.🫥
