2. Ensure Stellar will function under anticipated peak user/transaction load — PASS

The large-scale stress test launched on Sunday, March 25th was designed to mimic Heir’s future anticipated peak load, and to confirm that Stellar will function as expected under such conditions. The test culminated in triggering exactly 11,743 transactions (slightly shy of our 12.5K goal) at the exact same instance within Stellar’s testnet, and observing the network’s behavior and end-results. Here is what we observed:

Each of the 11,743 transactions, which consisted of manage offer operations (trades), was successfully processed by the network.

Each of the 11,743 transactions involved completing a trade consisting of varying amounts of Heir’s testnet asset ( HEIR ), from a single distribution account to 11,743 separate testnet user accounts. Each testnet account received the exact amount of expected HEIR asset, while the distribution account received the expected amount of XLM in return.

), from a single distribution account to 11,743 separate testnet user accounts. Each testnet account received the exact amount of expected HEIR asset, while the distribution account received the expected amount of XLM in return. The amount of time which elapsed from the moment we triggered our test, to the moment all accounts received their funds: ~9 seconds.

The results denoted above far exceeded Heir’s expectations and has solidified that Stellar is a platform ready for large scale usage. Furthermore, given that the test was successfully performed on Stellar’s testnet consisting of a limited number of nodes, Heir is beyond confident that Stellar’s public network will perform exceptionally.
