TPS

Infrastructure

Transactions per second a network can process.

TPS (transactions per second) measures throughput of a blockchain or rollup. Real‑world capacity depends on block size, gas limits, workload, and network conditions.

Frequently asked questions

  • Is TPS a good metric?
    Only in context. Real capacity depends on workload, data size, and confirmation times.
  • Why do claims vary so much?
    Different assumptions, workloads, and hardware. Compare apples to apples.
  • What else should I track?
    Latency, finality, fees, and reliability matter as much as raw throughput.
