IOTA 2.0: Pollen Testnet Records Peak Performance of 1500 TPS, 20x Improvement in Message Confirmation Time

Early progress updates from Pollen — the first IOTA 2.0 testnet infrastructure — are in, with over 20,000 value transactions already exchanged between nodes on the network. Tweeting on Tuesday (July 7, 2020), IOTA stated that the Pollen testnet recorded over 280,000 transactions exchanged between node operators.

Pollen is supposed to offer the first glimpse of IOTA’s transition into leaner network architecture. Also, IOTA’s network speed saw a significant increase following the release of the latest version of the Hornet node software, Hornet v0.4.0.
