Catenaa, Friday, November 21, 2025- Supra, a Layer-1 blockchain built for Automatic DeFi (AutoFi), has announced a $1 million personal token bounty for developers who can surpass the performance of its SupraBTM execution engine powering SupraEVM.
CEO Joshua Tobkin committed the reward from his own $SUPRA allocation, on top of an existing $40,000 USDC performance prize from the foundation.
SupraBTM, the blockchain’s core EVM-parallel engine, has demonstrated 1.5 to 1.7 times higher throughput than competing solutions like Monad and up to seven times faster than traditional sequential EVM execution.
The engine uses conflict-specification aware scheduling to reduce overhead, anticipate transaction collisions, and deliver deterministic performance under high-demand DeFi and arbitrage workloads.
The $1 million SupraEVM Speed Challenge invites open-source submissions that process at least 100,000 Ethereum mainnet blocks on commodity hardware with up to 16 CPU cores.
Entries must achieve at least 15% improvement across multiple thread configurations, provide public benchmark results, and remain verifiable.
Participants can claim the reward directly or collaborate with Supra’s engineering team, with token rewards vesting over two years beginning in 2027.
Supra’s vertical Layer-1 stack integrates execution, consensus, and core infrastructure to support AutoFi and onchain AI agents. By combining high-speed smart contracts, system-level automation, native price oracles, and bridgeless cross-chain messaging, Supra aims to create a fully automated decentralized finance ecosystem with sustainable revenue distribution.
The challenge is designed to accelerate innovation in EVM performance and validate the fastest deterministic execution engine publicly available. Developers and research teams can access full documentation, benchmarks, and entry criteria on Supra’s website.
