Does anyone know of another altcoin that can come close in speed, security, and decentralization in a speed test? Would they be willing to participate in a public bakeoff of any sort?
There are a lot of scalability focused project in the market right now, but not sure about their speed. I think Elrond Network, Matic, Zilliqa, is a few of them. Not to mention EOS and so on.
Zilliqa is probably the most mature in terms of development, their mainnet is alive, while EOS, as you might know, is too centralized.
:
Elrond - 36,000 TPS on 16 shards - comment from admin in their official Telegram group dated by 4th of July 2019
Matic - 6,000 - 10,000 TPS in closed environment, and a single sidechain is theoretically capable of up to 65K TPS - comment from admin in their official Telegram group dated by 1st of July 2019
Zilliqa - 2,828 TPS on testnets, with shards, 2400 nodes - comment from admin in their official Telegram group dated by 4th of July 2019
EOS - centralized, but 9,179 TPS according to this article dated by 05.12.2018:
