Being able to do 50,000 tx per second with fees at fractions of a penny is what differentiates this from Ethereum. This makes things such as truly real time, decentralized exchanges feasible.
- eightysixfour 5y agoDoes that 50k tps come at the cost of any type of centralization? I don't know much about Solana, but that usually seems to be the trade off with other crypto that has advertised comparable speeds.

- hanniabu 5y agoIt does make it centralized, just take a look at the spec requirements to see how unrealistic it is to expect high participation (let alone technical knowledge) https://docs.solana.com/running-validator/validator-reqs https://docs.solana.com/running-validator/validator-reqs
- EMM_386 5y agoHardware is always improving and costs drop ... isn't it only a matter of time until these requirements are nothing?
- kevingadd 5y agoDo you expect the requirements to run a node to stay flat even as network usage increases and the history grows longer?
- anonymoushn 5y agoHistory is stored on Arweave. Solana validators only store a small suffix of the history.
- hanniabu 5y agoAnd by that time the network will be either sufficiently (more) centralized, irrelevant, or both.
- anonymoushn 5y agoIt costs $80,000 to run an Ethereum POS validator.
