Maximum Theoretical TPS

Maximum Theoretical TPS

The theoretical maximum number of
Transactions Per Second
a
Blockchain
can handle, based on its
Block Size
,
Smallest Transaction Size
, and
Block Time
under optimal conditions.

This metric is calculated as the block size divided by the smallest transaction size, divided by the block time (in seconds), assuming ideal network conditions and no congestion.

Example: With a Block Size = 1 MB (1,048,576 bytes), Smallest Transaction Size = 256 bytes, and Block Time = 1 second, Maximum Theoretical TPS = 1,048,576 / 256 / 1 ≈ 4,096 transactions per second.
