Cardano has launched the “Face Melting Net” testnet to test AI-powered DeFi at full speed.
The testnet, part of Cardano's Leios roadmap, uses AI agents to simulate high-frequency trading and push the protocol's performance limits.
Leios introduces a concurrent blockchain model with three block types for parallel processing, potentially allowing Cardano to exceed 1,000 transactions per second.
The goal is to stress-test the protocol under sustained pressure and capture real-world demand data, aiming to enhance Cardano's efficiency without requiring hardware upgrades.
