Paradigm Proposes 'Gas Per Second' As New Performance Metric For EVM Community

According to Foresight News, Paradigm has suggested that the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) community should adopt 'gas per second' as a new standard for measuring network performance. This would be in addition to other dimensions of gas fee pricing to create a comprehensive performance standard. Typically, blockchain network performance is gauged by the 'transactions per second' metric. However, for Ethereum and other EVM blockchains, a more detailed and accurate standard would be 'gas per second'. This metric reflects the computational workload that the network can handle per second. 'Gas' is a unit that measures the computational workload required to execute transactions or smart contracts, and it also helps compare the performance of different EVM-compatible chains. Currently, in the EVM network, the strongest performance is opBNB, which calculates at 100 million gas per second, while the weakest is the Ethereum mainnet at 1.25 million gas per second. Reth, created by Paradigm, has reached 100-200 million gas per second during real-time synchronization. Its short-term goal is to reach 1 gigagas per second, or 1 billion per second.
