Scalability
Hypothesis
Hypothesis: Modern blockchain technologies can surpass Bitcoin in transaction speed and cost-efficiency.
Bitcoin Performance:
Transaction Speed: ~7 transactions per second (TPS).
Average Cost per Transaction: ~$1.50–$2.50 (varies with network demand).
Settlement Time: ~10 minutes (on-chain).
M3 Target Performance:
Transaction Speed: ~65,000 TPS (Solana benchmark).
Average Cost per Transaction: <$0.01.
Settlement Time: <1 second.
Expected Outcome
The experiment aims to demonstrate a significant improvement in transactional efficiency, making decentralized payments feasible at a global scale.
