Performance Benchmarks
Real-world performance metrics from our GPU-native blockchain. All benchmarks run on high-end gaming hardware unless otherwise noted.
GPU Acceleration
Cryptography
| Operation | CPU | GPU | Speedup |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dilithium-3 Verify | 47,000/s | 1,260,000/s | 27x |
| Dilithium-3 Sign | 45,000/s | 1,260,000/s | 28x |
| BLAKE3 Hash | 10,000,000/s | 530,000,000/s | 53x |
Order Execution
Matching Engine
| Metric | CPU (SIMD) | GPU (CUDA) | Speedup |
|---|---|---|---|
| Orders/sec | 320,000 | 10,000,000+ | 31x |
| Matches/sec | 230,000 | 8,000,000+ | 35x |
| Latency (batch) | 0.3ms | 20ms* | — |
* GPU latency dominated by kernel launch + H2D/D2H transfer overhead. With GPU Direct RDMA (ConnectX-7 NIC), transfers are eliminated.
GPU matching requires batching for efficiency — designed for high-frequency trading workloads.
Throughput & Latency
Network Performance
| Metric | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| End-to-End TPS (4 nodes) | 25,000 | full security* |
| Peak TPS (single node) | 45,000+ | no consensus |
| Single Client TPS | 8,000 | one process |
| Regional Finality | 25ms | same region |
| Global Settlement | 500ms | cross-region |
| Avg Latency (p50) | 16ms | order submission |
| Tail Latency (p99) | 27ms | order submission |
* Full security — All hardening enabled: Dilithium-3 verification, P2P broadcast, BFT consensus, state root pre-execution. No shortcuts.
Production Ready
VerifiedReal-World Benchmark
End-to-end performance measured with the TypeScript SDK calling the gRPC API. No synthetic shortcuts — real wallet signing, real network calls, real BFT consensus.
| Metric | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Total Orders | 625,000 | 25 second test |
| Aggregate TPS | 25,000 | full security |
| Error Rate | 0.00% | all orders accepted |
| Client Processes | 1 | TypeScript SDK |
| Wallets | 1,500 | concurrent |
| Batch Size | 500 | BatchOrders API |
| Validators | 4 | BFT consensus, release build |
Test methodology: Full security hardening enabled — Dilithium-3 signature verification, P2P transaction broadcast, 4-validator BFT consensus with 2f+1 threshold, state root pre-execution. 1,500 concurrent wallets submitting 500-order batches via BatchOrders gRPC API.25,000 TPS with 0% errors represents production-ready throughput.
Maximum Capacity
TheoreticalRaw Blockchain Performance
Maximum throughput with various security layers disabled. These numbers represent the raw execution capability of the blockchain engine.
| Configuration | TPS | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Execution Only | 2,000,000+ | no signing, no consensus |
| With Signature Pre-compute | 1,200,000 | batch verify GPU |
| Single Validator | 450,000 | no P2P overhead |
| Local Consensus (4 nodes) | 300,000 | same-machine cluster |
Note: Raw performance numbers are theoretical maximums useful for capacity planning. Production deployments use full security (25K TPS) which includes signature verification, P2P broadcast, and BFT consensus — the numbers that actually matter for real users.

| Merkle Verification | 4,200,000/s | 0.24μs each |
| Settlement Latency | ~500ms | cross-continent |
