What Is ‘Throughput’ in a Blockchain Network?

Throughput is a measure of the number of transactions a blockchain network can process and confirm per second (TPS). It is a key metric for scalability.

High throughput is essential for supporting a large number of users and complex applications. Factors like block size/Gas Limit, block time, and consensus mechanism directly influence a network's throughput.
