๐ซNotes on Performance
The current discourse in cryptocurrencies focuses on โmaximum TPSโ as the key defining performance metric, and one often finds various outlandish claims about it. For more details on why these numbers donโt matter, we recommend this article from the Nervos Network.
NOTE There are more issues with regard to โmaximum TPS metricsโ that are not mentioned in the article
Weโll have to eat humble pie and say that some of the existing Cronos PoS Chain materials fall into similar fallacies (despite being written with the word โaimโ and intended to be seen in the potential Layer-2 context).
In the future, once the system reaches a certain maturity, weโd like to establish metrics (e.g. the 95th percentile of end-to-end transaction latency) that are more meaningful for user experience. We would try to benchmark against these metrics, ideally in diverse settings (rather than โthe best case where nothing ever crashesโ) and using estimated real workloads.
