From your list a coin that it have 1M tps is Universa and I don't see the tag
unproved, which makes me think is
proved.
This is weird because it beats a lot of top coins and the project is on 500+ rank acording to CMC. Never heard of it until now.

EDIT: Now I see is a Russian project and everything makes sense now

I added link to something, that looks like always running loadtest. I do not know what is under the hood, I have not seen. And yes, if you talk about founder, its "Russian". Generally, there is five projects in this list you can call Russian. It's Credits, MetaHash, Universa, Tera and Waves. And there is one common problems with this projects, except Tera - getting information and numbers is very difficult, marketing usually is "borderline scammy" due to the low qualification of marketers. But if we talk about software, in most cases it's good coded. In my opinion Universa is original and fast. Waves is slower, but more secure. Waves Enterprise, according to the developers, is a fundamentally different platform and much faster, but, unfortunately, is the only, that uses Russian FSB licensed cryptography. "Russian" blockchain projects are quite competitive. And the noted problems are inherent in many Asian projects, and some Western ones as well. In addition, most Russian projects try to attract as many foreign partners and advisers as possible, just to meet the requirements of the industry. In this regard, I consider it incorrect to divide blockchain projects into Russian, Chinese, American and so on. I personally consider them all international.
