Scalability Stack—Incognito is the first network that delivers privacy at scale by implementing proof-of-stake and sharding.

Performance—Currently, with 8 shards active, Incognito can handle 100 TPS. With a full deployment of 64 shards, Incognito can handle 800 TPS — a significantly higher number than that of other privacy blockchains, which usually top out at less than 10 TPS.
