TPS: why is it the main indicator of blockchain?
Transactions per second (TPS) is what separates a working blockchain from a technical marvel that does not scale. VISA handles 1500–2000 TPS, which is the standard. And what about crypto?
The current situation is funny:
The difference is that decentralized networks prioritize security over speed. It is a trade-off — the more nodes verify a transaction, the slower it is, but the safer.
Why is TPS critical for Web3?
DeFi, NFT, games — all of this requires real speed. If a user waits a minute for a cheap contract, they go to Visa. High TPS means:
Catch? A stretched TPS is often achieved at the cost of centralization or reduced security. Hedera works with the council ( in a strange way for blockchain ). Solana regularly crashes due to overloads.
In summary: TPS is not everything, but it is important. The balance between speed, security, and decentralization will determine who survives in the long-term race.
