The number of Transactions processed per second by a Blockchain under typical operational conditions. This metric is calculated as the total number of transactions processed over a given time interval divided by the duration of that interval in seconds. Example: For a network processing 1,800 transactions in 60 seconds, Transactions Per Second = 1,800 / 60 = 30 transactions per second.
Transactions Per Second
The number of Transactions processed per second (TPS) by a Blockchain under typical operational conditions. This metric is calculated as the total number of transactions processed over a given time interval divided by the duration of that interval in seconds. Example: For a network processing 1,800 transactions in 60 seconds, Transactions Per Second = 1,800 / 60 = 30 transactions per second.
TPS varies depending on load and conditions, while Throughput refers to the system’s potential or maximum sustained capacity.
