As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the tech and crypto industries, I find myself consistently impressed by the relentless pace of innovation that Charles Hoskinson and his team at Input Output Global (IOG) have managed to maintain. The latest milestone achieved by Cardano – processing over 134,000 transactions per second during the $100,000 Hydra Doom Tournament – serves as a testament to their commitment to pushing the boundaries of blockchain technology.
1) Cardano has achieved a remarkable feat by handling over 134,000 transactions per second (tps), signifying an impressive step forward in its growth and progression. Charles Hoskinson, the CEO of Input Output Global (IOG), expressed his excitement on platform X by saying, “Impressive Cardano! #HailHydra,” along with a screenshot showcasing 134,464 tps.
Not bad Cardano. #HailHydra

As an analyst, I can share that when someone asked if this remarkable accomplishment was realized on the testnet, Hoskinson elucidated it was the “Hydra Doom” scenario. He further illustrated that each frame of the game translates into a transaction, with players’ actions serving as the output. This spike in transactions is closely tied to the current $100,000 Hydra Doom Tournament organized by Input Output, which officially began today.
Cardano Hosts $100,000 Doom Tournament
As an analyst, on December 2nd, I observed that during a pre-event test, Cardano had surpassed transactions per second (tps) of 28,500 – a significant milestone. Charles Hoskinson, the project’s founder, hinted at the network’s potential by sharing that “Cardano is currently handling some substantial loads.” The upcoming Hydra Doom Tournament not only functions as an engaging gaming platform but also serves as a real-world showcase of Cardano’s Layer 2 scalability solution, Hydra.
As Input Output announced, this tournament is intended to bring together thousands of global gamers in a competitive exhibition featuring the timeless game Doom, which runs on the Cardano blockchain using the innovative scaling solution Hydra. Contestants will face off against AI-designed bots, pushing the Hydra protocol’s limits of throughput and speed. This competition underscores the exceptional performance and security capabilities of the Hydra protocol.
Prominent figures in gaming and entertainment are taking part in the event. These include Twitch creator PotasticP, hip-hop artist MIMS who made “This Is Why I’m Hot” famous, Fatal1ty, a past DOOM 3 champion and Esports Hall of Famer, as well as Chris Pang, recognized for his role in “Crazy Rich Asians”. The event will be hosted by esports personalities Dgon and Raynday.
cardHoskinson underscored the unique combination of innovation and rivalry in the tournament, stating that they are “excited to stage the Hydra Doom tournament, gathering players worldwide for an extraordinary clash.” He emphasized that this event is “more than just the excitement of competition or the generous cash reward for winners; it’s a precious opportunity to be part of something momentous.
Hoskinson continued by saying: “By utilizing Hydra’s capabilities, we are venturing into uncharted territory for gaming, aiming to handle up to a million transactions each second. This paves the way for the future of rapid, blockchain-supported gaming experiences. We cordially invite gamers from all corners of the world to join us, showcase their talents, and be part of an innovative leap forward in both gaming and technology.
As an analyst, I’m excited to share that this tournament offers global online qualifiers, providing me with a two-hour window today to jump in and vie for a piece of the impressive $100,000 prize pool. The cream of the crop from these online battles will be fortunate enough to progress to the finals, held in Las Vegas in January 2025. At this momentous event, we’ll face off live at a top-tier esports arena, making for an unforgettable experience!
Hydra represents Cardano’s approach to enhancing scalability at Layer 2, derived from meticulous academic research. Designed with a focus on achieving fast transaction processing, immediate confirmation, and reduced costs, Hydra seeks to pave the way for widespread use of Cardano.
