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.
