As part of increasing the Internet Computers mainstream awareness and adoption we need to recognize that the average user/consumer place a lot of value in easy to understand concepts and numbers.
Sites like https://realtps.net/ that many people visit gives them an “easy” to compare table of transactions per second. Although in the detail page you can check how they calculate the tps for each blockchain, you should take it with a grain of salt, as for example Solana’s number are heavily boasted by internal transactions.
My point however is that the Internet Computer has finally been added to the site after long being absent from it. However, to my surprise, as of writing the tps is currently at a measly 0.09. Regardless if it is/isn’t painting an accurate picture at, it does leave an impression on newcomers and regular people looking to compare blockchains and probably walking away with an incorrect impression.
Can somebody help me understand:
A) How the tps calculation is so low compared to the on chain numbers ICP has in its own dashboard?
B) How we can provide feedback to https://realtps.net/ to calculate a more realistic number of the ICP transactions per second, as much as that is possible?
This is all coming from a place of wanting ICP to grown and become more accessible to mainstream audiences. Obviously, there are many things that will contribute to this mainstream adoptions, but perhaps stuff like this might be a quick win or low hanging fruit to support that effort, thanks.
