Methodology
Workload Composition
Current benchmarks use 100% TIP-20 token transfers (ERC-20 equivalent) at varying target TPS levels.
A canonical mixed workload combining TIP-20 transfers, multi-party payments, and stablecoin DEX swaps is in development.
Hardware
Benchmarks run on dedicated bare-metal servers to ensure consistent results:
CPUAMD EPYC 4585PX (16C/32T, 4.3/5.7 GHz)
Memory128 GB 3600 MHz
Storage2×960 GB NVMe + 2×1.92 TB NVMe via schelk
Node Configuration
Benchmarks run in single-node dev mode on a dedicated bare-metal server.
Metrics
