What Is ‘Transaction Throughput’ in a Blockchain?

Transaction throughput is a measure of the number of transactions a blockchain network can process and confirm in a given period, typically transactions per second (TPS). It is a key metric for scalability.

Throughput is limited by factors like block size, block time, and network latency. High throughput is essential for applications requiring fast and frequent updates, such as decentralized exchanges.
