AtlantisChain, a Layer-0 public blockchain claiming 3.6 million transactions per second (TPS) and a 0.031-second block time, has surpassed 600 million blocks as of January 15, 2026. This milestone comes just 48 days after the network was recognized as the world's fastest blockchain by over 400 media outlets across 51 countries. The achievement underscores the network's rapid growth and its ability to process transactions at speeds far exceeding those of established blockchains.
According to data from AtlantisChain, the network surpassed the block heights of all existing blockchains within its first 179 days of operation. For instance, it exceeded Bitcoin's block height in 9 hours, Ethereum's in 8 days, and Solana's in 145 days. The blockchain's performance metrics include a maximum capacity of 3.6 million TPS, a block time of 0.031 seconds, and cross-border finality of 0.093 seconds. These specifications are supported by the Proof of Light (PoL) consensus algorithm and QuantumLock security measures.
The network has launched over 70 ATC-20 standard cryptocurrencies, including stablecoins such as Atlantis USD (USDA) and the world's first Chinese Yuan-indexed stablecoin, CNY Coin (CNYC). These digital assets are designed to facilitate global trade and serve as payment currencies within the Atlantis Exchange Pro system. Additionally, AtlantisChain has introduced gold-indexed and oil-indexed coins, providing diversified assets for Web3 users.
AtlantisChain's technology is protected by a USPTO-registered trademark and developed by a team with roots at MIT. The network's sovereign time system, Atlantis Time (AT), is available via Amazon Bookstore at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F54KZ7PQ. The blockchain explorer can be accessed at https://ATCscan.io, and the official wallet is at https://AtlantisWallet.org.
The AtlantisSpace initiative, aimed at extending blockchain infrastructure into space, has begun planning and development. Stablecoin users, developers, and institutions are encouraged to explore the network through the ATC20 Direct portal at https://ATC20.com and the ATC20 Tokens directory at https://ATC20Tokens.site.
This rapid progression in block height and transaction speed positions AtlantisChain as a leading contender in the blockchain space, with implications for global commerce, decentralized finance, and Web3 adoption. The network's ability to surpass years of development from other blockchains in a matter of days signals a potential shift in industry standards for scalability and performance.
