Success Rate

Before comparing Polygon with other blockchains, it is better to take a look at the success rate of transactions in this blockchain. In particular, we should check whether the success rate decreases as the number of transactions increases? Or in other words: Is Polygon a scalable blockchain or not?

Time Between Blocks - Layer 2 Ethereum Blockchains

In the first step of comparing Polygon to other blockchains, we compare the time between blocks for the two layer 2 competitors of this blockchain, Optimism and Arbitrum.

• Polygon performed weaker than the other two blockchains with an average and minimum time between blocks of 2 seconds***, but its maximum is much lower than the other two blockchains, which means that the time between blocks and Polygon's TPS can generally always be assumed to be constant.***
• In terms of the number of transactions per block, Polygan is far ahead of its two Layer 2 competitors.

Time Between Blocks - Layer 1 Ethereum Blockchains

In the second step of comparing Polygon to other blockchains, we compare the time between blocks for the two layer 1 competitors of this blockchain, Solan, Algorand, Near and Avalanche.

• Compared to Solana and Algorand, Poligon performed poorly, but compared to Near and Avalanche, it performed much better.
• Solana ranks first in most criteria by a wide margin.

Polygon Vs Other L1/L2 Blockchains

In this dashboard, we want to compare the efficiency of Polygon in terms of the number of blocks per unit of time and the number of transactions per block.

First, we will take a general look at the Polygon blockchain in terms of TPS and then review the general statistics on the formation of blocks in this blockchain.

Key Findings

• Polygon's average TPS is around 30, ( about thirty transactions per second ), which is a very good record. On the other hand, this number has remained almost constant in different hours, which indicates the popularity of this blockchain among users and its activity throughout the day and night in all parts of the world.
• According to the average of 30 transactions per second, we reach an average number of 2 seconds for the time between two blocks, which is almost constant, and it can be expected that the average time between two blocks is the same two seconds at different hours.
• The maximum time between two blocks in this blockchain is 25 seconds, which is still a very good number.
• On average, about 70 transactions are recorded in each block.

• The average number of 94 for the success rate is a very good number, especially since this number is almost constant and this shows the stability of this blockchain.
• With the increase in the number of transactions, the success rate has not decreased significantly, which proves the scalability of this blockchain.
