at full capacity for tps right now?
yes, the network is only running at a 10% of its total capacity
How many tps is that at 10%? Will it increase eventually? Is Moonbeam going to be the same at launch?
Derek : Yeah 50 tps isn't the end of the road, its just what we should get to in the near future. We will improve further from there. To put these numbers in perspective, eth is 15, xdai maybe 80, and bsc perhaps 140. Solana is higher than that, but they have made other sacrifices to get there. The goal of Moonbeam is not to have the most tps. We have prioritized compatibility, decentralization, and interoperability. Compatibility = EVM which is an important part of our strategy. Decentralization and interoperability drove the decision to build as a parachain on polkadot, and a lot of the design decisions of Moonbeam, such as our parachain-staking pallet. Being a parachain means a reduced tps for the moment, while improvements are made. We could make moonbeam a standalone chain with a small number of high powered validators and significantly boost tps in line with some of these other projects. But by doing that we would give up on decentralization and interoperability properties which are core to the vision and goals for the project. So this means we have to take an incremental approach to performance improvements while we work with parity on the optimization of polkadot and our 2 parachains.
