TPS Benchmarking Metrics

TPS Benchmarking Metrics measure the transactions per second a network can handle under various conditions. While a common metric for scalability, it can be misleading if it does not account for transaction complexity, network load, or finality time.

For financial derivatives, simple TPS is less important than the ability to handle complex, high-value transactions with low latency and high reliability. A more comprehensive benchmarking approach considers the entire lifecycle of a transaction, from submission to finality.

Traders and developers use these metrics to compare different platforms and assess their suitability for high-frequency or high-volume trading. Understanding the limitations of TPS as a metric is essential for making informed decisions about protocol infrastructure.
