How Does Internet Computer Scale Compared To Other Blockchains?

[bonk]

Most traditional blockchains process transactions through a single execution environment, which can create bottlenecks during periods of heavy activity. Internet Computer approaches scaling differently.

ICP uses a system of independent subnets:
• Each subnet runs its own consensus
• Workloads are distributed horizontally
• Multiple subnets process activity simultaneously

This architecture allows the network to scale transaction throughput without depending entirely on Layer-2 solutions or heavily congested base layers.

According to recent network data:
• ICP processed around 10.4 million transactions in one hour
• The network averages roughly 2,891 transactions per second
• Total lifetime transactions exceed 287 billion

The design is part of ICP’s broader goal of building decentralized internet infrastructure directly on-chain rather than simply functioning as a payment network.

Multiple subnets processing simultaneously sounds cool until you explain it to twitter.

10.4 million transactions per hour is actually insane numbers.
