*2.2. Scalability*

Global adoption is enabled by the property of scalability, which refers to a system's capability to adjust to increased loads. Bitcoin and Ethereum, two of the most widely used blockchain technologies, can process a maximum of seven and twelve transactions per second (TPS) unlike Visa, which can process 65,000 TPS [39]. Moreover, EOS [40], which is designed to be scalable, claims a throughput of around 2000 TPS but promises to be able to process millions of transactions in the future at the price of decentralisation.
