EOS Scalability
What is scalability? Scalability defined as the restricted number of transactions per second over the respective network and the time taken to reach the consensus. This has always been a big hurdle for Blockchain giants like Bitcoin and Ethereum to overcome. It is also a big reason why a huge percentage of investors are turning their back to the blockchain world.
According to the statistics, in the competition between the mainstream transaction apps and the blockchain platforms, the transactions they do per second. The mainstream platforms can manage up to thousands of transactions in only some seconds. Hence, Blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum have a very disappointing count of 7 and 20 transactions per second, respectively.
The scalability issue broadly divided into two parts: the time taken to put the transaction on the block and the time taken for the transaction to reach the consensus. Also, EOS currently has a throughput of 34 Transactions per second. Thus, Reports say that EOS has a very high functioning throughput that can go up to 3000+ TPS. Nevertheless, some critics say that EOS is more of a centralized platform rather than a decentralized one.
