How does Waves do when it comes to transactions per second?
I think it beats Ethereum by far. It has been recently upgraded and it should be one of the fastest platforms now. Let's see what will happen as they will introduce smart contracts, which should happen rather soon.
I tested their platform a lot of times and I can say they are really fast and the platform is secure, the interface seems to be the only issue here I read a lot of comments about their platform interface but overall it's a good platform to create a new token and transact.
