@Hedera recorded 807,383 transactions on October 8, pushing its real-time throughput to an average of 9.35 transactions per second (TPS). Onchain data shows this was the highest transaction rate for the network in the prior seven days, representing a 152% recovery from a low of 3.7 TPS recorded on October 3.
The daily figure sits above the Q1 2026 average of roughly 708,500 transactions per day, which itself marked a 25.8% quarter-on-quarter increase. The latest print suggests activity on the network has continued to build into Q4.
Hedera operates on a hashgraph consensus mechanism rather than a conventional blockchain. Its directed acyclic graph structure means throughput is limited primarily by available bandwidth, not by the architecture itself, giving it a meaningful design advantage over networks where block structure creates a fundamental ceiling.
The current throttle of 10,000 TPS for cryptocurrency transactions on Hedera is a governed limit, not a technical ceiling. Short bursts have already hit 16,000 TPS in production. Against that backdrop, a real-time average of 9.35 TPS reflects everyday organic demand rather than a stress test, and the week-on-week recovery points to a rebound in regular network usage.
Daily transactions on Hedera climbed 25.8% quarter-on-quarter in Q1 2026, averaging 708,500 per day. The October 8 reading of 807,383 comfortably clears that benchmark. The network's transaction mix has historically been led by its Crypto Service, which accounted for 68.4% of Q1 activity, followed by Smart Contracts at 19.7% and Consensus at 8.6%.
Hedera's native token $HBAR is used to pay fees on every transaction processed across these services, meaning sustained activity growth has a direct link to token utility demand.
