Scalability Vision // Blockchain Size

"Eventually when we have client-only implementations, the block chain size won't matter much."

BTC Network Capacity
7 TPS
Severely throttled baseline throughput constrained by rigid 1MB structural block weight limits, driving competitive fee congestion pools.
BSV Terranode Throughput
1,000,000+ TPS
Unbounded enterprise-tier scaling architecture processing microtransactions via parallelized node infrastructure natively on the base layer.
Original Bitcoin Vision // Transaction Costs

"The cost of mediation increases transaction costs, limiting the minimum practical transaction size and cutting off the possibility for small casual transactions."

BTC Transaction Fees
High / Congested
Elevated fees from artificial 1MB block cap creating perpetual bidding wars for scarce blockspace during demand spikes.
BSV Microtransaction Fees
Near-Zero
Sub-penny fees enabled by massive scalable block sizes providing abundant blockspace for all transaction classes, including true micro-payments.
Protocol Integrity Log // Set In Stone

"The nature of Bitcoin is such that once version 0.1 was released, the core design was set in stone for the rest of its lifetime."

BTC Protocol Deviation
Malleable Ruleset
Base rules frequently modified or appended through BIPs, SegWit, and internal political infighting, altering the fundamental economic properties.
BSV Design Hardening
95% Locked
Original v0.1 base structure legally and architecturally restored; final 5% remaining for upcoming consensus and DAA finalization.
Script Language Paradigm // Programmable Ledger

"The solution was script, which generalizes the problem so transacting parties can describe their transaction as a predicate that the node network evaluates."

BTC Script Runtime
Disabled / Crippled
Core mathematical and string opcodes (like OP_MUL and OP_CAT) were early disabled out of security panic, capping script to basic multisig validation pools.
BSV Script Set Runtime
Original Full Opcode Set
Genesis restoration fully unbanned the native instruction set (re-enabling OP_CAT, math, and bitwise operations), offering complete smart contract expressiveness natively.
Network Scale Topology // Design Target

"The current system where every user is a network node is not the intended configuration for large scale. That would be like every Usenet user runs their own NNTP server. The design supports letting users just be users."

BTC Network Topology
Indirect / Hub-Spoke
No longer true P2P. Base txs blindly flood non-mining relays, while layer-2 scaling relies on the Lightning Network where payments route through large capitalized intermediaries.
BSV Network Topology
SPV (IP-to-IP)
True peer-to-peer execution via Simplified Payment Verification (SPV). Transactions are securely negotiated direct IP-to-IP, letting light clients verify without heavy full-node archives.
