When you think of Sonic, the most well-known aspect is probably "speed." I'm tagging the two people I refer to the most while yapping, @r2Jamong and @heysoahri (Iโm definitely not tagging them to increase interaction points). This post is a brilliant piece that makes you go "Aha!" if youโre wondering why speed is important in blockchain. To summarize: 1. The biggest factor affecting blockchain speed is block time. 2. The amount that can be processed in one block + the processing speed is important. That's what they say. Iโve only heard about TPS TPS all the time, but I didnโt know the exact meaning until now. With current node experts Rujamong and Ari, Iโm not afraid of yapping anymore. To add a bit of old-school wisdom, back in my day,,, when I knew nothing about blockchain, it was tough to find ways to study, and I was just wandering around conferences... I used to try to impress Ari by picking up bits and pieces, but it seems like a good world has come with the advent of...
Let's properly understand TPS. In fact, TPS is not a term related to speed. TPS stands for Transactions Per Second. It refers to how many transactions can be processed on average per second. When @SonicLabs says it has a maximum of 400K TPS, it means it can process an average of 400,000 transactions per second. In reality, the biggest factor affecting speed in blockchain is the "block time." Since transactions in blockchain are executed in blocks, the frequency at which blocks are created is the most important factor. Bitcoin has a block time of 10 minutes, Ethereum has 12 seconds, and Solana has 0.3 to 0.4 seconds. Even if there is a chain with an extreme TPS of 100 million, if the block time is 1 hour, the transaction I sent from my wallet could take up to an hour to execute in the worst case. The point at which TPS affects speed is when there is high usage and transactions are congested. No matter how fast the block time is, if the amount that can be processed in one block is...
