Current Limitations

The source whitepaper highlights five major friction points in the existing blockchain landscape.

High gas costs

Ethereum and similar networks can become expensive during periods of high demand.

Latency and throughput limits

Many blockchains do not provide the finality or speed required for real-time applications.

Complex governance

Delegated or off-chain governance systems can reduce accessibility and participation.

Developer friction

Inconsistent tooling, non-EVM environments, and poor documentation slow onboarding.

Energy inefficiency

Proof of Work systems require large amounts of energy without clear user-facing benefits.

Tetreum is positioned as a protocol built to reduce these barriers with lower-cost operations and more predictable network behavior.
