The large-scale test of Teranode, a microservices system designed for Bitcoin SV, achieved a measured throughput of 79.09 billion transactions per second across 100 real servers distributed globally (with more conservative measured results around 61-66 billion TPS), more than a million times Visa's peak. This result was obtained under controlled conditions (simplified P2PKH transactions, in-memory UTXO, compact injection, minimal mining difficulty, single trust environment), while successfully rejecting 12.8 million double-spending attempts. The authors estimate that a more realistic scenario could reach approximately 33 billion TPS, while highlighting the limitations (no independent validation, unmeasured projections beyond 100 servers, massive storage challenges, and the need for further testing on mixed loads and open networks). This radically changes what a public blockchain can support compared to limited networks like Bitcoin Core (7 TPS) or even Visa (65,000 TPS at peak). Here are the main possibilities, organized by area: Global Impacts (Worldwide and Societal): Very low-cost global payment rails: fractional micropayments (fractions of a cent), machine-to-machine payments, and real-time settlements on a global scale. This could democratize financial access and enable previously impossible economic models (pay-per-use, pay-per-second of content, etc.). Immutable global notary layer: permanent and verifiable record of almost any data (proofs of events, identities, documents, sensors). BSV positions itself as a "truth ledger" for the real world. Massive machine-to-machine economy and IoT: billions of devices (sensors, vehicles, connected objects) able to exchange value and data in real time without costly intermediaries. New Internet models: micropayments via data packets, API calls, or AI agent actions, transforming fixed subscriptions into on-demand usage. Transparency and trust at scale: complete traceability in supply chains, healthcare, logistics, and governance, reducing fraud and insurance/audit costs. Compared to the Finance and Payments markets: direct competition with card networks (Visa/Mastercard) for high volumes, stablecoins (e.g., MNEE on BSV), asset tokenization, B2B settlements, and mass micropayments. Gaming and Entertainment: very high-volume in-game microtransactions without prohibitive fees. Supply chain, logistics, and healthcare: real-time tracking of goods, verifiable patient data, and automated regulatory compliance. Data and AI: data marketplaces, AI agent coordination, and massive event logging (every sensor reading or interaction can become a transaction). Enterprises: Low-cost, enterprise-grade solutions for data integrity, auditing, and automation via native smart contracts (Bitcoin Script/sCrypt). Adoption is already geared towards industrial use cases rather than purely speculative ones. Compared to other technologies: Unlimited horizontal scaling (in theory): instead of increasing the power of a single machine (vertical scaling), servers/clusters are added. Microservices architecture + propagation of Merkle subtrees for continuous block assembly. Everything is on-chain, without mandatory Layer 2: no need for rollups, sidechains, or complex bridges for core scalability → non-fragmented liquidity and unified security. Overlays and specialized layers: the base node (Teranode) remains "dumb and fast"; overlays handle business logic, indexing, and applications (e.g., JungleBus for streaming relevant data). Fees decrease with volume: more transactions in a block = shared costs → economically viable micropayments. Compatibility with the original Bitcoin protocol: unchanged transactions and consensus rules, preserved SPV (Simple Payment Verification), open-source for review. Cloud integrations and modern infrastructure: deployments on AWS, OVHcloud, IPv6 multicast support, etc., facilitating global deployment. https://x.com/BSVCasey/status/2088602439926645100
