Shortly after announcing performance enhancements within its roadmap for 2022, Cardano is currently in the Basho phase. A phase where it refuses to define scalability in terms of ‘a million TPS.’ It stated in a recent blog post,
“Amongst all those available, TPS is probably the least meaningful metric to consider as a means of comparison.”
It further added that transactions come in different shapes and sizes, especially while comparing different platforms. Hence,
“Using TPS as a metric within the same context (for example, to compare two versions of the Cardano node) is meaningful. Using it as a means of comparison between blockchains isn’t.”
