I thought it is obvious but maybe I should explain $kas: when you have a network running at 300TPS, and users are issuing transactions at a higher rate, the network will become congested and fees will hike up. That’s just how fee markets work.
The usage spike is a result of the… https://t.co/6YCPCigqzk— Shai ❤️ Deshe 💜 Wybors𐤊i 💙 (大胡子) (@DesheShai) September 15, 2024
**Shai Wyborski Discusses Network Congestion and Fee Markets in Kaspa**
In a recent tweet, Shai Wyborski, a PhD candidate in quantum cryptography and a core developer of the Kaspa blockchain, shared critical insights regarding network congestion and its impact on transaction fees. He emphasized the relationship between transaction rates and the efficiency of a network, particularly with Kaspa operating at 300 transactions per second (TPS).
Wyborski explained that when the demand for transactions exceeds the processing capacity of the network, congestion occurs, leading to a spike in transaction fees. This phenomenon is not unique to Kaspa; it applies broadly across blockchain networks that encounter high usage spikes. As he succinctly put it, “when you have a network running at 300TPS, and users are issuing transactions at a higher rate, the network will become congested and fees will hike up.”
This tweet sheds light on the dynamics of fee markets and how they respond to the fluctuating demand on the network. As Kaspa continues to grow and attract users, understanding how transaction volumes affect network performance is crucial for both developers and users alike.
