The true future of decentralized computing lies not in raw speed, but in abundant block space, where Web3 runs the world’s indispensable decentralized supercomputer. Opinion by: Shawn Tabrizi, engineering lead at Parity In pursuit of adoption, many Web3 builders are hyperfocused on a simple, seductive metric: transactions per second (TPS). Protocols have trumpeted numbers rivaling traditional payment rails, convinced that sheer speed is the holy grail to convert billions of users and major enterprises. While this is intuitively appealing, it is insufficient. Adoption, and its prerequisite utility, is ultimately about capacity, not speed. While TPS is undeniably important, the real arms race is not about the fastest race car but about robust, efficient, flexible and infinitely scalable mass transit systems. Financial applications often need speed, but compute-based applications require abundant, usable block space. This is the vision of Web3 as the world’s indispensable decentralized supercomputer.

Can tokenized stocks from centralized issuers like Robinhood or Kraken ever be truly decentralized? Experts are divided. Crypto is supposed to be about freedom permissionless networks, immutable ownership, assets that no government or intermediary can arbitrarily revoke. At least, that was Satoshis dream a vision that has admittedly faded over time as reality butted in. Amid all the other dying idealism, along came stock tokens, shiny digital wrappers for traditional equities such as Tesla, Apple and Amazon. Suddenly, the crypto space found itself dressed up in Wall Streets regulatory straitjacket. Stock tokens, as currently structured, such as Kraken’s, Robinhood’s and in the future, Coinbase’s are about as decentralized as a Goldman Sachs board meeting. Theyre digital and tokenized, but users must pass KYC to acquire them; they can only move between whitelisted addresses, and issuers can freeze or revoke them at will. In short, they arent really crypto at all. Theyre securities in a digital costume, playing...
