Scalability Limitations

Public blockchains, like Bitcoin and Ethereum, have faced scalability challenges, managing only a limited number of transactions per second (TPS). For instance, Bitcoin handles approximately 7 TPS, and Ethereum around 15 TPS, both far lower than centralized payment systems like Visa, which can process up to 24,000 TPS.

These limitations lead to network congestion and slower transaction times, which not only affects user experience but also increases operational costs. For example, during periods of high demand, transaction fees on the Ethereum network surged, making it cost-prohibitive for smaller transactions.

According to a survey, over 50% of organizations cited scalability as a primary barrier to adopting blockchain technology in their operations .
