5879 TPS, precisely

This result shows us lots of potential improvement as we are currently running our Testnet on low-end VPS with $5–$10 per month. For more information, you can visit Elefos Monitor to see the result: monitor.elefos.io.

The highest TPS peak happen in block #50337 and #50338 (each block run in 0.5 second). The producer node is accountnum12 with is a $10/month VPS with 1vCPU and 2GB Ram. More detail:

The transaction issued is a simple transaction: “Sending token from A to B and then from B to A”.

More potential improvement:

Currently we are working on solution to boost the performance of Elefos, our test shows that the system can reach to nearly 10k+ TPS with a high-end hardware. The hardest problem is all smart contract executions is still running in 1 core, to remove this bottle neck we innovated a new mechanism to do parallel execution on smart contract. Let’s stick with us for our exciting news!

Elefos is a community-based cloud computer network. Inspired by peer-to-peer networking principles, it is a decentralized, commercially-scalable computing platform for everyone
