The theoretical maximum number of Transactions Per Second a Blockchain can handle, based on its Block Size, Smallest Transaction Size, and Block Time under optimal conditions. This metric is calculated as the block size divided by the smallest transaction size, divided by the block time (in seconds), assuming ideal network conditions and no congestion. Example: With a Block Size = 1 MB (1,048,576 bytes), Smallest Transaction Size = 256 bytes, and Block Time = 1 second, Maximum Theoretical TPS = 1,048,576 / 256 / 1 ≈ 4,096 transactions per second.
