It’s worth noting, we don’t need anywhere near 8.9mtps. The efficiency improvements are what makes it so worthwhile, because it reduces cost to entry to being a guild/operator. More operators = higher security.
Visa runs ~1700tps. Solana has capacity for “50,000tps”. Constellation really doesn’t have a limit because it’s designed to scale out.
Constellation will run fine on an 8 core CPU. But we have 192 core chips, so why not use those? Everything is designed for extremely high density.
It’s entertaining watching fiat bros push just their database to 1,000,000 TPS. Constellation can do virtually any TPS - its bandwidth throttled before CPU, usually. And it’s not just a database - it’s all cryptographically secured, backed 1:1 provably and settled over LN in real time.
