Transactions Per Second (TPS)
Transactions per second (TPS) is a metric used to measure the processing capacity and speed of a blockchain network. It represents the number of transactions that can be successfully processed by the network within a single second. TPS is comparable to evaluating the performance of a high-traffic website based on the number of clicks it can handle. It provides insights into the network's efficiency and scalability in handling a growing volume of transactions.
