In 2025, transaction speed in blockchain networks is reaching new heights thanks to technological advancements and innovative consensus mechanisms. Below are the key TPS statistics for leading blockchains, based on reliable sources and with methodological context.

Real-Time TPS Statistics (April 2025)

According to Chainspect (April 25, 2025) — a tool tracking real-time transactions:

Methodology:
Chainspect measures TPS in real time, accounting for network activity, block size, and validation delays. Data is updated every minute, and the sample includes 100% of network transactions.

Industry Analysis Data (January–March 2025)

1. Avalanche (AVAX) — 4,500 TPS (ECOS, Jan 30, 2025):
   Load testing with 10,000 nodes using the Avalanche consensus protocol.
2. Internet Computer (ICP) — 25,621 TPS (Publish0x, Dec 15, 2024):
   Maximum throughput achieved in a controlled environment with 500 “canisters” (advanced smart contracts).
3. IPI Blockchain — “Unlimited TPS” (IPI FAQ, Mar 20, 2025):
   The Proof of Network mechanism separates transaction queuing and execution, eliminating bottlenecks.

Sources of Discrepancy in Data

1. Theoretical vs. Actual TPS:
   Solana claims 65,000 TPS, but in practice achieves ~1,150 tx/s due to network limitations and reliance on external validators.
2. Methodological Differences:
   ICP reports three TPS values: actual (863.2), maximum (25,621), and theoretical (209,708), based on varying definitions (e.g., simple vs. complex transactions).
3. New Projects vs. Established Blockchains:
   IPI, as a new blockchain, does not yet have independent verification of its “unlimited TPS” claims — data comes solely from project documentation.

Summary

• Speed Leaders: Solana and ICP dominate in terms of real-world TPS, while IPI introduces a revolutionary approach to scalability.
• Challenges: Discrepancies between claims and practice show that TPS measurement requires standardization (e.g., transaction complexity).
