Unleash the potential of data-on-chain
BSV Blockchain represents Bitcoin’s original design: an electronic cash system built to handle global transaction volumes without artificial constraints. The network has already proven it can live up to this vision, processing blocks as large as 4 GB and over 50 million transactions in a single day.
What sets BSV apart is its approach to scalability through the original Bitcoin protocol design.
With no protocol-defined maximum block size, BSV can scale naturally as demand grows. The mainnet currently processes 2,800 transactions per second, while the ongoing development of Teranode – a modular, microservice-based node architecture – has achieved over 1 million transactions per second on the Teranode testnet.
Uncapped block size, allowing BSV to scale naturally as demand grows: the BSV mainnet is capable of processing more than 13,600 transactions per second. With the release of Teranode – a modular, microservice-based node architecture – BSV is targeting one million transactions per second.
UTXO-based architecture allows transactions to be processed in parallel, ensuring the network can scale in a way that is both technically feasible and economically sustainable.
Restoring the original Bitcoin Script functionality and providing powerful smart contract programmability without requiring additional layers or protocols. Each script can include up to 4.2 GB of data, enabling sophisticated applications while remaining true to Bitcoin’s peer-to-peer vision.
Using Simplified Payment Verification as outlined in the original whitepaper, users can transact with near-instant settlement without maintaining the entire history of the blockchain on their device.
Most of all, protocol stability is a cornerstone of BSV’s approach. By keeping to Bitcoin’s original design, developers and enterprises can build with the confidence that the fundamental rules of the protocol will not change based on developer whims or political decisions.

BSV and Bitcoin’s Original Vision
BSV implements the Bitcoin protocol as described in Satoshi Nakamoto’s whitepaper, keeping to the core principles of an electronic cash system. While other Bitcoin implementations have deviated from this vision, BSV preserves the original’s elegance and capabilities.
The UTXO (Unspent Transaction Output) model
The UTXO (Unspent Transaction Output) model forms the foundation of this electronic cash system. Each transaction represents a complete transfer of digital commodity tokens (satoshis) from one party to another, with the UTXO set maintaining the current state of ownership. This design enables parallel transaction processing and natural scalability.

Why BSV Works for Real Applications
Stable
BSV maintains strict adherence to the original Bitcoin protocol, providing a consistent foundation for long-term development. Protocol stability means applications built today will continue functioning as the network grows, eliminating the technical debt and compatibility issues plaguing other blockchain platforms.
Secure
Proof of Work consensus provides economic security through computational cost, making the BSV network tamper-resistant and economically aligned. The distributed network architecture ensures no single point of failure while maintaining transparency and auditability in every transaction.
Scalable
With no artificial block size limits and advanced node software like Teranode, BSV scales to meet real-world demand. The mainnet has processed 4 GB blocks and handled over 150 million transactions daily. With Teranode, the BSV testnet has proven capable of handling over 1 million transactions per second.
Safe Instant Transactions
BSV’s network topology and optimized validation enable rapid transaction confirmation with minimal fees. The UTXO model supports instant payment verification for immediate transaction acceptance, making real-time applications and micropayments economically viable.
Building on BSV
BSV has demonstrated its capabilities with 4 GB blocks and 50+ million daily transactions on the mainnet. Low transaction fees (typically fractions of a cent) make micropayments and high-frequency applications economically viable, opening new business models impossible on fee-constrained networks.

The complete Bitcoin Script language enables sophisticated applications without requiring secondary layers or sidechains. Create tokens, smart contracts, and programmable money directly on the base layer with the security and simplicity of the original Bitcoin protocol.
BSV provides comprehensive development tools including TypeScript, Go, and Python SDKs, tokenization libraries, ARC Broadcasting APIs, and SPV wallet infrastructure. The BSV Association maintains these tools and supports developers building production applications.
BSV’s public and open blockchain enables unparalleled levels of transparency, while features like its Network Access Rules and Digital Asset Recovery provide the reliable compliance framework enterprises need. See the link.
Unlike blockchains subject to constant changes and hard forks, BSV’s commitment to the original Bitcoin protocol provides stability for long-term projects. Build once, run forever—without worrying about protocol changes breaking your application.
Following the original white paper’s vision for privacy, the BSV Blockchain allows identity to be firewalled from transactions, enabling privacy while providing transparency. Utilizing the full scripting language, users can implement zero-knowledge proofs and other techniques to enhance privacy. The use of digital signatures on the blockchain allows for identity to be selectively disclosed by users as needed.
