Goals

  • Support transaction throughput that rivals that of Visa.com.   Reduce the amount of time required to approve a transactionGrowth

Background and strategic fit

...

Average transaction approval time is 3.7 seconds.  This is still slow, all things considered.  The Ripple network probably can return a consensus failed message fairly quickly, but still needs on average 4 seconds to clear consensus. This means that card swipes at a POS won't clear in time.  There are other benefits for banking institutions that are listed above.

Assumptions

  • The primary factor in transaction speed is consensus.
