When assessing the performance of a blockchain, many people focus on TPS (transactions per second), but what users really care about is something else—Finality.

Take a very straightforward example: after you trade, the screen spins in circles waiting, and after 10 seconds it still hasn't confirmed. How do you feel at this moment? Even if the TPS of this chain is ridiculously high, this waiting experience will still make people feel lag.

Ultimately, the speed of finality is the key factor that truly determines user experience. Every millisecond from the initiation of a transaction to its final confirmation on the chain affects the smoothness of the operation. Therefore, some new technological solutions now focus on how to accelerate this process—ensuring that transactions are quickly finalized on the chain, allowing users not to wait continuously.

My buddy is right, TPS is just a numbers game. When the experience is really bad, those spinning circles are the real killer feature. Finality is the real metric; a 10-second confirmation and a 1-second confirmation feel completely different.

Wait a minute, I was just saying that those project parties boasting about TPS are talking nonsense. Users don't really care about how many transactions per second you have; the key question is, when will my money actually arrive?
