Oh. I chucked in a design to make a card that does ASIC based transaction processing. Verilog tests and all.

Multicast Teranode still has not been solved as of January 2026 (either IPv4 or v6). Proper network hosting environments have not been put together yet. Visionary investments by the right people are missing in action. The engineering work has not been prioritized, contemplated, or completed. BSV must be scaled further, but the work needs to be done. The multi-tenant architecture that AWS runs on is fundamentally incompatible. It must be an independent effort.

I said no chain can handle 1M real TPS and got a lot of pushback But most people don't even understand how TPS benchmarks actually work They’re run in local environments with a handful of nodes Zero real-world latency. Using simple native token transfers (or even minimal/no-op txs) Occasionally they go global…but still with basic transactions only Here’s the math ⬇️ A basic transaction is cheap Sending native ETH (or SOL, etc.) from wallet A to B is ~21,000 gas on Ethereum Minimal compute and tiny data That’s what most TPS benchmarks are measuring Now try a real DeFi swap: ETH → token ABC on Uniswap Now you’re at 100k-150k+ gas 5-10x the resources Run that swap through an aggregator (1inch, Jupiter, etc.) with multiple hops, approvals, routing? Easily 300k–1M+ gas/compute. Often 10-50x and sometimes 100x+ the resources of a simple transfer Now look at flash loans, MEV bundles, leveraged positions, NFT bundles? Those can all get even larger. One complex tx can consume the resources of dozens of basic ones And that’s just one category and how all chains operate We also have liquidations, cross-chain bridges with messages, restaking loops, governance executions, account abstraction batches… No chain in the world has ever been stress-tested at scale with a real mix of these transactions Because the demand simply isn’t here yet This is why many chains that claimed “tens or hundreds of thousands of TPS” ran into congestion, failed txs, and degraded performance at just a fraction of those numbers We’ve seen it countless times when surges expose the gap between lab tests and reality A handful of chains have solid infrastructure and could scale up faster than others to meet real demand Maybe by adding more nodes, shards, hardware, or with various tweaks. Some that could happen relatively quickly. But not a single live chain today could handle sudden real-world demand hitting 1 million TPS TPS without transaction complexity is just marketing. Every chain knows it. Most just hope you don't.
