Scalability vs TPS (Transactions Per Second)

The ability of a blockchain network to handle increasing numbers of transactions, users, and data without degrading performance, speed, or decentralization. Scalability measures how well a network grows to meet demand while maintaining efficiency and security.

Transactions Per Second (TPS) measures how many transactions a blockchain network can process in one second. This metric indicates network capacity and speed, helping users understand whether a blockchain can handle real-world usage demands or faces performance limitations.
