JUST PASSED $3.50
Will it be more than that? Maybe $5
Hell yeah. Waves market cap $130 million+. I'm not going to compare us to them, I'll let you do your research but the platform we are building is very solid, works already and doesn't have any IOU's or coloured coins etc.
What is the performance in terms of transactions per second . BitShares claims their platform can sustain a throughput of 100k TPS.
That doesn't sound like a realistic statement from a decentralised exchange.
The performance of a decentralised exchange is not dependent on any one component's speed, since it's decentralised. Because every trade is directly between one party and another, there is no real limit on how many trades per second a DX could handle. More traders equal more bandwidth (so to speak) forever.
The real performance limits on a DX are (a) how many transactions
your local node can make per second, which has mostly to do with your internet connection, and (b) the point at which a p2p broadcasting system gets crowded, since that's what we use to broadcast orders. I haven't encountered a measure of this, since it's so high that people designing a blockchain-based service don't tend to need to find out.
