AtlantisChain, described as the world's only ultra-super-fast Layer-0 public blockchain, has achieved a block height of over 1 billion within just 373 days of operation, solidifying its position as the fastest blockchain globally. The milestone was reached at 11:13 a.m. Pacific Time on June 22, 2026, according to a screenshot captured by the network. In comparison, Solana had reached approximately 406 million blocks since March 2020, BNB Smart Chain about 105 million blocks since September 2020, and Ethereum roughly 25 million blocks since July 2015.
AtlantisChain's block height is now 246% of Solana's, 945% of BNB Smart Chain's, and nearly 3,941% of Ethereum's, despite these networks having operated for years longer. The network's 0.031-second block time and 3.6 million transactions per second (TPS) capacity are cited as key factors enabling this rapid growth. The announcement follows earlier recognition by over 400 media outlets in November 2025, when AtlantisChain was first acknowledged as the world's fastest blockchain.
According to the press release, AtlantisChain's performance surpasses all existing blockchains in block height, block time, finality, and TPS. The network surpassed Bitcoin's block height in just 9 hours, Ethereum's in 8 days, and Solana's in 145 days after its launch in April 2025. The release also highlights the blockchain's security features, including quantum resistance through its Proof of Light (PoL) algorithm and QuantumLock protection, making it resistant to hacking and quantum computing threats.
AtlantisChain has launched over 100 ATC-20 standard tokens, including stablecoins indexed to gold, silver, oil, the Chinese yuan, the U.S. dollar, and the British pound. These assets are intended to support global trade and ecosystem growth. The network's infrastructure includes the Atlantis Exchange Pro, a blockchain explorer at ATCscan.io, and a cold wallet at AtlantisWallet.org.
The press release claims that several country authorities are in the process of joining AtlantisChain for global trade, signaling a shift from traditional finance to digital economy. Developed by a team with MIT roots in the United States, AtlantisChain is positioned as a U.S.-built blockchain infrastructure. The network's sovereign time system, Atlantis Time (AT), is detailed in a book available on Amazon at Amazon.
With its claimed unmatched speed and security, AtlantisChain aims to revolutionize the blockchain industry and support interplanetary capabilities through its AtlantisSpace expansion. The milestone of 1 billion blocks within 373 days underscores its potential to redefine scalability and commercial use in Web3.
