The Bottleneck Problem: Why ‘Fast’ Blockchains Fail Under Pressure

BTCCSquare news:
Blockchain developers have long chased transaction speed as the holy grail of performance, measured in transactions per second (TPS). Yet this obsession with raw throughput has repeatedly collided with reality during periods of peak demand. The industry’s dirty secret? Structural bottlenecks that emerge when networks prioritize speed over systemic resilience.
Validator nodes face the first crunch. Processing high TPS demands expensive hardware—processing power, memory, and bandwidth—creating centralization pressures. When traffic spikes, these resource constraints create choke points precisely when networks should shine. The result is a paradox: blockchains designed for scale that falter when scaling matters most.
