Publish Rate for streams

Question

Hi Multichain Team,

Can you please tell us how many transactions we can do per second if we are using streams? I mean how fast can we publish for which we will get a good performance.

Answer 1

For the latest version of MultiChain (alpha 28) with default blockchain parameters, our internal testing shows a sustained rate of over 500 tx/sec for small stream items on a modern server. It will be less if the stream items are significant in size.
