Scalability

Tetreum describes scalability as a result of separating smart contract execution from consensus and network propagation.

Modular design

• Execution layer: optimized for EVM compatibility

• Consensus layer: lightweight PoA engine

• Storage layer: efficient state structures using Merkle Patricia Trees

Performance model in the source

The whitepaper includes the following conceptual formula:

Effective Throughput = f(N, V) = O(C / (L · V))

Where:

• N = number of full nodes

• C = total compute capacity

• L = latency introduced per node

• V = number of validators participating in consensus

Fee behavior

The source also emphasizes:

• Fixed base-fee style behavior

• Reduced congestion spikes

• More reliable cost estimation for developers
