While most crypto would say transactions per second are just that, tranactions per second, Solana includes communications between validators as "transactions". This leads to this beautiful graph where pink is an actual transaction, the rest (~90%) is "validator communication". Solana "transactions" per second Solana true TPS 400 TPS is nothing to scoff at, but a long way from the huge TPS claims. Validators need to communicate to get to consensus. This is true in every chain. Sent a TX? Everyone needs to know. Minted an NFT? Everyone needs to know. However, most chains don't claim this as TPS. And before you say Solana is public about this, their official explorer on their own website literally just shows the broad TPS. Edit: removed hbar part. submitted by /u/Money_Reach [comments]
