Exploring the Real-World Challenges of Blockchain TPS Performance

While high TPS metrics suggest scalability, increased transactions strain decentralized nodes, revealing significant challenges.

High transaction per second (TPS) metrics can be enticing for blockchain technology, hinting at impressive scalability capabilities. However, as more transactions are added to the network, the strain on decentralized nodes increases, often leading to a collapse in these TPS numbers in practical situations.

This paradox highlights the inherent difficulties of balancing network efficiency with decentralization. The very architecture designed to support a distributed ledger may struggle under the weight of excessive transactions, ultimately affecting performance and user experience.
