In a bold stride toward next-generation financial infrastructure, Pi Squared has unveiled Devnet 2.0, a major upgrade to its FastSet protocol, designed to deliver internet-speed payments with near-zero fees and sub-100 millisecond finality, a feat that could redefine how Web3 transactions scale globally.
The launch marks a milestone in Pi Squared’s pursuit of an infinitely scalable decentralized payment network capable of processing transactions faster than any existing blockchain. The FastSet protocol, unlike traditional blockchains that rely on total ordering, executes transactions in parallel, already sustaining 150,000 transactions per second (TPS) and targeting 1 million TPS by mainnet in 2026.
“The future of payments demands more than what blockchains can deliver,” said Grigore Roșu, Founder and CEO of Pi Squared. “With theoretically uncapped TPS, sub-100ms finality, and verifiability by design, FastSet is poised to power global payments and financial systems at scale.”
Devnet 2.0 is not merely an upgrade; it is a fully open environment that enables developers to test, build, and experience the FastSet protocol in real-time. The network offers a richer ecosystem, enhanced infrastructure, detailed developer documentation, and multiple DeFi applications that showcase the protocol’s core strengths in speed, verifiability, and composability.
Among the flagship applications debuting with Devnet 2.0 are OmniSet and OmniSwap, two DeFi primitives engineered to eliminate liquidity fragmentation across blockchains:
Supporting applications, such as Pulsar Money, JoAi, and AI Nexus, are also live on Devnet 2.0, demonstrating FastSet’s capacity for low-latency, high-performance financial logic that extends far beyond conventional blockchain frameworks.
A Block Verification Explorer has been introduced for real-time verification of EVM blocks, underscoring Pi Squared’s commitment to transparency and developer accessibility.
Pi Squared’s approach represents a fundamental rethinking of distributed ledger design — a post-blockchain architecture that prioritizes parallel execution, deterministic verification, and scalability without the compromises of sharding or rollups. By enabling payments to move “as fast as the internet,” Pi Squared aims to become a backbone layer for Web3 commerce, cross-chain finance, and real-time AI-driven payments.

Developers and institutional partners are invited to explore the platform, experiment with FastSet’s SDKs, and build decentralized applications that match the velocity of the digital world.
