The Hedera Upgrade Nobody Is Talking About | Why TPS Misses the Point | HBAR
Hedera is often judged by one simple number: TPS. But for enterprise blockchain infrastructure, the bigger question is not how fast a network can look under ideal conditions. It is how predictably the Hedera network behaves when demand spikes, smart-contract workloads compete for capacity, and different transactions place very different strain on the system.

Hedera is often judged by one simple number: TPS. But for enterprise blockchain infrastructure, the bigger question is not how fast a network can look under ideal conditions. It is how predictably the Hedera network behaves when demand spikes, smart-contract workloads compete for capacity, and different transactions place very different strain on the system.
This video breaks down Hedera’s Precise Smart Contract Throttling upgrade, why HIP-1249 matters, and how operations-based throttling changes the conversation around HBAR, smart contracts, throughput, predictable fees, enterprise adoption, and real-world workload control.
The key point is not that TPS does not matter. It is that TPS alone does not explain whether a public network is ready for serious institutional use.
