11.4 Scalability and Performance

Cosmos’s underlying consensus, Tendermint BFT can handle

thousands of transactions per second and have a block time on the

order of one second. Instant finality means that forks are never

created until more than one-third of the validators are honest

(byzantine).

As per an article on Coingraph in April 2021, Cosmos can scale up

to 100,000 TPS which makes it the fastest and most scalable

platform on the market. Refer to the following link for more
