RealTPS

RealTPS measures the current number of transactions per second committed by various blockchains.

About the software

RealTPS is written in Rust. It contains three parts:

• realtps_import is the syncing server that keeps running jobs for
  • requesting block data from various blockchains' RPC clients, and storing them to disk,
  • calculating TPS for each blockchain.
• realtps_web is the realtps.net website, built on top of the Rocket framework.
• realtps_common is data structures that are shared between realtps_import and realtps_web
  • abstracted database trait Db and its JSON implementation JsonDb
  • RealTPS' Block data structure that is converted from different blockchains' block data
  • implementations of Chain for various RPC protocols

About the algorithm

RealTPS uses a simple method of counting the transactions in every block over the time period spanning from one week ago until the present moment, then dividing that total number of transactions by the number of seconds from the beginning of the first block until the end of the last block.

Full details are on the website.

Run RealTPS yourself

$ git clone https://github.com/Aimeedeer/realtps
$ cd realtps
$ cargo run -p realtps_import

You'll see the db directory for fetched data under the root. You can kill it any time or just keep it running.

With the data in db, you can see the list of results by running the website:

$ cargo run -p realtps_web

And check it in your browser at http://localhost:8000.

To update data for a specific chain, run realtps_import with arguments. e.g.

$ cargo run -p realtps_import -- import --chain polygon
