Klaytn: Web3 at the speed of Web2
Klaytn’s ultra-low transaction latency has been turning heads, with its global developer community almost doubling in size over the past year as reported by Electric Capital.
Contrary to blockchain hype that heavily focuses on TPS, Klaytn views long wait times for transaction confirmation as the bigger hurdle to mass adoption—DApps need to feel as snappy as current Web2 services for Web3 to truly take off.
With 1-second block time coupled with immediate finality, the EVM-equivalent L1 maintains a stable average transaction latency of just 2.1 seconds—faster than all the other leading chains benchmarked—allowing builders to deliver seamless Web3 experiences to their users.
To find out more or join the wave of developers building Web3 services that run at the speed of Web2 on Klaytn, visit their developer hub, awesome list, and join their online dev communities.
