Psy's innovative blockchain architecture aims to make web3 platforms competitive with centralized services by supporting high-concurrency applications like DeFi, agentic payments, and decentralized social networks, all while maintaining data ownership, privacy, and security.

Launched on October 2, 2025, Psy Protocol's public testnet demonstrates a blockchain capable of internet-scale throughput and Bitcoin-level security, targeting the development of fully on-chain decentralized applications.

This architecture can process millions of transactions in seconds, with benchmarks showing 10 million transactions completed in roughly 10 seconds, thanks to client-side zero-knowledge proofs and a scalable architecture called PARTH.

The system leverages recursive zero-knowledge proofs that aggregate individual proofs into a single proof, significantly speeding up verification and enhancing scalability.

Unlike traditional blockchains such as Ethereum and Solana, Psy's design removes the need for every node to validate each transaction, reducing computational load and enabling higher throughput through local proof generation and aggregation.

Supported by major investors including Blockchain Capital, Arrington Capital, and StarkWare, Psy's project reflects strong industry confidence in its innovative approach to scalability and security.

Psy's approach addresses core blockchain scalability issues, aiming to facilitate the next evolution of web3 with a focus on data privacy, security, and high concurrency without relying on proof-of-stake consensus.

The network is based on proof-of-useful-work, where miners generate zero-knowledge proofs that secure transactions, making mining productive and reducing energy waste, inspired by Bitcoin's proof-of-work.

This high scalability addresses key barriers to mainstream web3 adoption by enabling decentralized platforms and social networks with performance comparable to or exceeding traditional centralized systems.

Following the successful testnet launch, plans are underway for mainnet deployment later in 2025, inviting developers and users to experience its capabilities firsthand and paving the way for broader adoption.
