Transaction Throughput
Short answer: Transaction throughput measures how many transactions per second a blockchain can process. See SynX's throughput design target with post-quantum signatures.
Definition
Transaction throughput measures how many transactions a blockchain can process per unit time, typically transactions per second (TPS). Higher throughput enables more users and use cases. It's a key metric for blockchain scalability and practical usability.
Technical Explanation
Throughput depends on: block size (transaction capacity), block time (frequency), and transaction size (efficiency). Bitcoin averages 7 TPS; Ethereum around 15-30 TPS; payment networks like Visa handle thousands. Layer 2 solutions dramatically increase effective throughput.
Maximizing throughput creates tradeoffs: larger blocks need more bandwidth and storage (centralization pressure); faster blocks increase orphan rates; smaller transactions may reduce functionality. Optimal throughput balances performance with decentralization.
SynX Relevance
Every SynX transaction carries a 7,856-byte signature, so throughput depends on block space. The whitepaper's 2,000+ TPS is a design target, not a measured result.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What TPS does SynX achieve?
- Throughput depends on network parameters and transaction types. Base layer handles substantial volume.
- Do quantum signatures reduce throughput?
- Larger signatures require more space, but optimizations minimize impact.
- Can throughput scale with demand?
- Layer 2 solutions enable effectively unlimited throughput for compatible use cases.
