Here Are 6 Key Metrics to Measure Blockchain Network Performance That You Need To Know!

Here are 6 key metrics used to measure the ability of the blockchain network.

Transactions Per Second

Anyone familiar with the blockchain sector would consider Transactions per Second (TPS) to be one of the most important metrics. It simply refers to how many transactions may be carried out in a second. TPS is used to determine a blockchain’s capacity for processing data and its scalability needs. Here, for more clarity and better results, the number of transactions submitted to the blockchain and those that were recorded in the ledger are counted separately.

Also keep in mind that there are many other factors to take into account, therefore a blockchain with a high TPS does not automatically make it better than other options. For instance, Bitcoin, one of the most sought-after blockchains, has a low TPS, somewhere in the range of 5–10, but thousands of nodes throughout the world at any given time.

Transaction Latency

The duration between a particular transaction being submitted and being accepted or rejected is known as transaction latency. Once a transaction is authorized, its results are immediately visible on the network and usable.

This parameter, which compares blockchains according to how rapidly they can reflect transactions, is important in every way.

Transaction Throughput

The amount of time it takes to add valid records to blocks is known as transaction throughput. Only once a record has been accepted is the elapsed time calculation begun; records that have been rejected are not taken into account.

Simply divide the total number of records added to the blocks by the entire amount of time in seconds to determine the Transaction Throughput.

Energy Efficiency

Energy Efficiency, while not directly a network performance metric, still plays a significant role given the global energy crisis and the growing global agreement on conserving energy. Energy is needed for a blockchain to operate, essentially to validate, process, and store transactions. The consensus technique used here has a significant impact on how much energy is used.

While the majority of significant networks utilize the more energy-intensive Proof of Work (PoW) model, some more recent blockchains depend on the more complex and energy-efficient Proof of Stake (PoS) or Proof of Authority (PoA) models. So, be careful to look at the consensus process used before selecting a blockchain the next time you build a project.

Number of Validators

Transactions are verified by validators, who are paid for their work. In order to preserve the integrity of the blockchain, these validators often dedicate a computer to it. A transaction is recorded on the blockchain’s ledger when it has been confirmed.

Validators include every transaction that is started in a block for verification. The block can no longer be modified once it has been finished and placed on the blockchain. Validators perform all of this job. Therefore, the network performs better the more validators there are.

Block Time

Block time is the length of time validators or miners need to validate the transactions included in a block before moving on to the next one. The block time is calculated as the entire amount of time that passed between these operations. Additionally, miners and validators get paid in cryptocurrency as a reward for their efforts.
