Chain Performance Score (CPS)

Chain Performance Score (CPS)

A
Valis
-developed metric that represents the overall performance of a
Blockchain
network, combining
Transaction
throughput (measured in
Transactions Per Second
,
TPS
) and network reliability (measured in number of nines) into a single score.

This metric is calculated as the square root of the product of TPS and 10 raised to the power of the number of nines in reliability (e.g., √(TPS × 10^Reliability), where 99.99% reliability = 4 nines).

Example: For a network with TPS = 30,000 and Reliability = 5 nines (99.999%), CPS = √(30,000 × 10^5) ≈ √3,000,000,000 ≈ 54,772.
