Hi all,
I’ve been diving into the Shasper spec and have been crunching some numbers on what it will mean for network throughput. I’m looking for some input on my calculations as well as a question I have on block gas limit.
Here is what I have right now. Everything on the “current chain” section are real numbers with no assumptions.
| Value | Current Chain | Shasper |
|---|---|---|
| shards | 1 | 1024 |
| block(slot) time | 14.5 | 8 |
| blocks/minute | 4.1 | 7680 |
| blocks/day | 5,959 | 11,059,200 |
| blocks/year | 2,174,896 | 4,036,608,000 |
| | | |
| block gas limit | 8,000,000 | 8,000,000* |
| daily gas cap | 47,668,965,517 | 88,473,600,000,000 |
| avg gas/tx | 76,364 | 76,364 |
| | | |
| tx/day cap | 624,237 | 1,158,582,857 |
| tx/min | 434 | 804,571 |
| tx/sec | 7.2 | 13,410 |
My main question revolves around block gas limit. What are the thoughts on how much this can increase under Shasper? I’m currently keeping the assumption at the same limit but assume this can go way up.
Any feedback is appreciated!
