Comparisons with traditional networks

VISA is the premier payment-processing network worldwide. In one of the company's blogs, it was revealed that VISA can process over 40,000 transactions a second. This is peak capacity, and it usually processes nowhere near that, except around times such as Christmas. Nevertheless, it should be clear that blockchains have a way to go before they can compete for processing global payments on the same scale as VISA. Newer networks, such as EOS and COSMOS, are trying, however, with innovative multi-threaded designs and segmented blockchain zones.
