Here’s a list of notable blockchain networks and their associated tokens, sorted by their theoretical maximum transactions per second (TPS) capabilities, from highest to lowest:

1. Solayer ($LAYER ) – 16 billion TPS (InfiniSVM theoretical max)*

2. $TON (The Open Network) – 1 million TPS (theoretical max)

3. Aptos (APT) – 160,000 TPS

4. Solana (SOL) – 65,000 TPS

5. Polygon (MATIC/POL) – 65,000 TPS

6. Arbitrum (ARB) – 40,000 TPS

7. Internet Computer (ICP) – 11,500 TPS

8. Algorand (ALGO) – 6,000 TPS

9. Avalanche (AVAX) – 4,500 TPS

10. BNB Chain (BNB) – 2,200 TPS

11. TRON (TRX) – 2,000 TPS

12. Ripple (XRP) – 1,500 TPS

13. Cardano (ADA) – 386 TPS

14. Ethereum (ETH) – 119 TPS

15. Bitcoin (BTC) – 7 TPS

This is not a full list of all blockchains but rather a list of the fastest and for comparison the most notable blockchains with a high market cap.

Correct me if I missed something worth adding.

*LAYER Utilizing hardware-accelerated SVM blockchain technology, Solayer's InfiniSVM aims to achieve over 16 billion TPS for simple workloads and approximately 890,000 TPS for conflicting workloads.

Solayer has announced ambitious plans to develop a blockchain capable of processing over 1 million transactions per second (TPS) with network bandwidth exceeding 100 Gbps. To achieve this, Solayer is implementing a hardware-accelerated SVM (Solana Virtual Machine) blockchain, termed InfiniSVM, which employs a multi-execution cluster architecture connected via Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA).

Key Architectural Components:

1. Hardware-Accelerated Multi-Executor Design:

#Solayer divides transaction processing into microservices, assigning each to specialized hardware clusters.

This approach reduces individual hardware load and enhances overall system scalability.

2. Transaction Processing Pipeline:

Ingress and Edge Filtering: Utilizes GPUs or FPGAs to verify signatures and eliminate duplicate transactions.

Pre-Execution: Independent clusters simulate transactions to identify and process non-conflicting ones promptly.

Execution Planning and Routing: Employs an Account State Cache and hardware acceleration to schedule and route transactions efficiently.

3. Data Sharding and RDMA Integration:

Implements data sharding to distribute data across multiple nodes, reducing individual node load.

Incorporates RDMA technology, enabling rapid data exchange between nodes without operating system intervention, thereby achieving network bandwidth exceeding 100 Gbps.

4. Hybrid Consensus Mechanism:

Combines Proof-of-Authority and Proof-of-Stake to designate a "mega leader" (sequencer) responsible for processing and publishing transaction batches ("shreds").

This structure aims to facilitate the processing of over 1 million TPS.

Code Review and Verification:

As of now, Solayer has not publicly released the source code for their InfiniSVM blockchain. Without access to the actual codebase, it's challenging to independently verify the feasibility of their TPS claims. The architecture and technologies described are theoretically capable of achieving high TPS; however, practical implementation details, optimizations, and real-world testing are crucial to substantiate these claims.

For developers interested in contributing or reviewing Solayer's progress, the project encourages engagement through their official channels.

In summary, while Solayer's proposed architecture presents a promising approach to achieving high transaction throughput, the absence of publicly available code and empirical performance data makes it difficult to confirm the accuracy of their TPS claims at this time.
