Blockchain Performance: inflated claims expose hidden costs

A new study by Taraxa reveals that blockchain performance claims are often exaggerated, with theoretical throughput being 20 times higher than observed results on real-world networks. This disparity highlights a major transparency issue in the industry. The report investigates the cost-efficiency of 22 blockchains using data from Chainspect, and identifies that many overstate their performance in marketing materials and fundraising pitches. 20X inflated claims suggest a gap between what is theorized and how well blockchains perform in real-world settings.
