High throughput denotes the capacity of a blockchain network or system to process a large volume of transactions within a given period. This metric is critical for the usability and scalability of decentralized applications and digital currencies. Systems achieving high throughput can handle significant user activity without experiencing substantial delays or increased costs. It is often measured in transactions per second (TPS).
Context
The pursuit of high throughput is a central theme in the development of many blockchain protocols, particularly those aiming for widespread adoption. News reports frequently compare the throughput capabilities of different networks, as it directly influences user experience and the viability of applications requiring rapid transaction finality. Innovations aimed at increasing throughput are key areas of research and development within the cryptocurrency domain.
