Imagine a race track for super-fast computers! Some say their tracks can handle tons of cars (transactions) at once. But a new report says that's not always true. Many computer tracks (blockchains) boast much higher speeds than they actually have.
- A study checked 22 different computer tracks (blockchains).
- They found that many claimed to be much faster than they really were (20 times faster!).
- This is because they test their speed in a lab, not in the real world.
- A new way to measure speed (TPS/$) looks at how fast it is compared to how much it costs.
Fact | Number |
---|---|
Average difference between claimed and real speed | 20 times |
Number of blockchains studied | 22 |
This means that some computer tracks might need expensive equipment to work well. This report wants to make blockchain information clearer and more honest.
