Ask HN: Can Bitcoin (or Blockchain) ever achieve 1M transactions per second?
Is this possible? And I'm talking about results/experiments/systems that have actually shown this, and not just made claims of "scalability" without presenting any results?
How that works out in practice remains to be seen.
Recent developments are encouraging for scalability. For example Roll Up is a plan to use zk-SNARKs to create very secure sidechains that would increase the total capacity of a single Ethereum chain to 17,000 tps or more. With sharding, where Ethereum operates 100 chains at once, that would mean Ethereum would be able to achieve 1.7 million transactions per second.
Avalanche has done over 1,500 tx/s: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmUy4jh5mGNZvLkjies1RWM4YuvJh5o2FYopNPV...

But seeing how fast the space is moving, another platform might come along in a few years that has a better implementation than EOS (thus leading to more TPS).
