The TPS Obsession Nobody Talks About

Why are we still chasing six-figure TPS numbers? Here's the reality: the ecosystem's actual settlement throughput sits comfortably under 80 TPS. The race beyond that? It's padding the specs sheet, not solving real problems.

Anything exceeding genuine demand becomes bloat—performance theater masquerading as innovation. When infrastructure scales beyond what the network actually needs to settle, you're optimizing for vanity metrics, not functionality.

Focus on what matters: stability, security, and matching real-world throughput requirements. That's where the actual value lives.

To put it simply, the TPS numbers are a digital game that should have gone bankrupt long ago. Many projects boast about millions of TPS, but they're just lying. The actual needed is just over 80, and the rest are just fancy PowerPoint presentations.
