High Throughput Scalability

Definition

High throughput scalability refers to a system’s ability to process a large volume of transactions or data rapidly. In the context of blockchain technology, it signifies the capacity of a network to handle a high number of transactions per second without compromising speed or increasing costs significantly. Achieving this involves various technical solutions, such as sharding, layer 2 protocols, or alternative consensus mechanisms. The objective is to support widespread adoption of decentralized applications and digital asset transfers at speeds comparable to traditional financial systems.
