Scalability
50 - 10,000 TPS
limited by PoW

currently supports a maximum of 15 TPS
1000 TPS capacity for now. Developed with scaling in mind. Provides flexibility in size and throughput depending on the implementation.

A Performance and Scalability Workgroup exists within the community to discuss, research, and identify key use cases and metrics for all blockchains.
