How Does Proof-of-Stake Increase Blockchain Throughput?

Proof-of-Stake (PoS) can increase throughput by enabling faster block creation and finality compared to Proof-of-Work (PoW). PoS eliminates the need for competitive mining, allowing for shorter block times and more predictable block production.

It also facilitates sharding, which divides the network load, exponentially increasing the number of transactions processed per second.

Glossar

Faster Block Creation

Latency ⎊ Faster Block Creation fundamentally reduces the average block time, which is the primary determinant of transaction latency and time-to-finality in a blockchain network.

Throughput

Capacity ⎊ ⎊ Throughput, within cryptocurrency and derivatives markets, fundamentally represents the rate at which a system processes transactions or data, often measured in transactions per second (TPS) or orders per millisecond.
