This top10 is misleading,
Dash isn't the fastest crypto so far. Even Nano beat it.
They forgot to consider a lot of cryptos.

Dash is one of the fastest cryptocurrencies to date (just like Nano) due to its Instant Transactions feature. By making use of this, you can send money in Dash to anyone in the world within a few seconds in a near-instant manner. It's one of the most undervalued cryptocurrencies right now, considering that it has been the pioneer of Instant transactions technology. Nano appeared just after Dash did in the crypto space, but has managed to stay on top, probably because of better marketing/promotion. Despite this, Nano is also one of the fastest cryptocurrencies in existence due to the use of the DAG algorithm.

Other cryptocurrencies which are based on the same algorithm (such as IOTA, Constellation, Coti, and Hashgraph) can scale indefinitely without experiencing delays in transaction processing time. However, it is debatable, whenever they're highly secure against external attacks or not. Even DPoS based cryptocurrencies like Bitshares, Steem, EOS, Lisk, and Ark, are extremely fast and cheap in fees. Some of the coins mentioned here even have zero fees, which make them practical for micropayments and more.

However, I believe that there will be only one winner, which could prove to become the fastest cryptocurrency among them all. This is greatly determined with the number of people using a specific cryptocurrency. Hence, the more people are transacting in a blockchain network, the greater the load will be, which causes the performance of the network to decline. Just my thoughts Grin

Are you serious? Zilliqa is the much faster than all of the mentioned, also EOS would be one of the fastest one. Also I like the Graph technology that is kind of similar to blockchain, but I guess it is much faster and cheaper technology.

That's certainly true, mate. Graphene technology developed by Bitshares, is fast and cheap with the ability to handle massive TPS. Cryptocurrencies which make use of such technology are Bitshares, EOS, and Steem making them one of the fastest and most widely used blockchains to date. If you look closely at the Blocktivity website, you'll notice that cryptocurrencies based on such technology are the most used, while other popular cryptocurrencies (like Bitcoin and Ethereum) are behind them. This means that DPoS based cryptocurrencies with Graphene technology are much more scalable and cheaper than PoW and PoS based cryptocurrencies.

Things aside, Zilliqa will be one of the fastest cryptocurrencies in existence once its mainnet launches during the beginning of next year. By making use of Sharding technology, Zilliqa will be able to scale to millions of TPS without delays. Best of all, it's a smart contract platform like Ethereum that has its own programming language for dApps. Therefore, the competition is becoming fierce as new alternatives emerge on the market which rival popular cryptocurrencies into obtaining the top spot in fastest TPS and cost-effectiveness within the blockchain space.
