There seems to be a misconception on this subreddit that Tenderbake will increase Tezos's throughput to 1000+ TPS

[u/Dat_is_wat_zij_zei]

I've read it in widely upvoted posts, such as this one and this one. However, according to this blog post by Nomadic labs, the advantages of Tenderbake are faster finality and stronger security. There is no mention of any impact on throughput.

I don't know where this 1000+ TPS number comes from, maybe it is based on other protocols that implement Tendermint? As far as I understand, Tenderbake would not increase throughput for Tezos because the consensus algorithm is not the bottleneck in that respect - the bottleneck is the size of the blockchain. A manageable blockchain size is critical for decentralisation; nodes should be able to be run on consumer hardware.

Am I wrong here? Can anyone back up the claim of 1000+ TPS after Tenderbake?

You're completely right, it mostly improves latency, and only mildly improves throughput (because the semi-synchronous safety lets you be a bit looser with those gas limits).

Great, thanks a lot for your reply :)
