Enabling Unbounded Scaling for a truly global blockchain

Unbounded Scalability on the BSV Blockchain

In today’s world, available resources dictate the bounds to the amount of transaction activity that blockchain can support. Teranode has no built-in limits. Operators are free to add resources and expand these bounds by magnitudes.

Evolution to Unbounded Scale

Supporting a global network with distributed mining nodes, processing millions of microtransactions, and expanding known limits.

  • The global Teranode network supports specialised networks.
  • Enables millions of processed transactions per second
  • Scalable with no built-in transaction limits.
Key Innovation

Teranode parallelises network nodes and microservices, enabling limitless scalability, guided by three foundational principles:

Teranode is a distributed network of many core nodes

Specialisation and isolation of components and their roles

Microtransactions combine information and value

Specialisations of nodes and functions

The BSV Blockchain, with Teranode at its core, will be the backbone infrastructure for a global system of multiple specialised overlay networks. We anticipate specialised nodes to complement the core services provided by miners running Teranode.

Dedicated overlay networks operated by enterprise infrastructure providers will communicate with the network core. End-user applications will leverage SPV (Simplified Payment Verification) to interact within the Overlay Network.
