Credits’ Main Aim
Bitcoin and Ethereum are the most popular Blockchain platforms at the moment. These Blockchain networks, though popular, have massive scalability problems that increase both the cost and time taken to complete a transaction. Ethereum can only process about 15-20 transactions per second; Bitcoin can only manage seven. Credits founders wanted to create a platform that can process transactions faster and at the same time, reduce the cost of transacting.
Simply put, Credits goal is to eliminate all the current problems associated with transacting with Cryptocurrency. Credits promises to reduce transaction costs to as low as $0.001, which compared to Ethereum and Bitcoin, is quite low. At an average of 0.005 dollars per transaction, Ripple is the only blockchain network that can compete with Credit’s rates. Credits also wants to lower the confirmation time to the tune of 0.01–3.0 seconds, much shorter than Ethereum and Bitcoin. Credits is targeting 1,000,000 transactions per second, powered by its superior network capacity.
