Comparison of Transaction Speeds: Sonic vs. Other Blockchains

Blockchain technology has evolved significantly, with transaction speed being a crucial factor in adoption. Sonic, a next-generation blockchain, claims to offer superior speeds compared to traditional networks.

Sonic’s Speed Advantage

Sonic boasts transaction speeds of up to 100,000 TPS (transactions per second), surpassing major blockchains. It achieves this through advanced consensus mechanisms and optimized data structures, reducing latency and improving efficiency.

Comparison with Other Blockchains

  • Bitcoin (BTC): ~7 TPS – Due to its Proof-of-Work (PoW) mechanism, Bitcoin remains slow and costly.
  • Ethereum (ETH): ~30 TPS (before scaling solutions) – Ethereum’s transition to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) with Ethereum 2.0 improves throughput but still lags behind Sonic.
  • Solana (SOL): ~65,000 TPS – One of the fastest blockchains, but network congestion and downtimes have impacted reliability.
  • Polygon (MATIC): ~7,000 TPS – A Layer-2 scaling solution improving Ethereum’s speed but still behind Sonic.

Conclusion

Sonic outperforms most blockchains in transaction speed, making it ideal for high-frequency applications like DeFi, gaming, and enterprise solutions. While scalability and security remain key considerations, Sonic’s innovation places it ahead in blockchain speed competition.
