# 4.1 High-Performance Blockchain Infrastructure

Matrix’s underlying architecture is built on a **high-throughput blockchain infrastructure** capable of processing **12,000 transactions per second** (TPS) **with sub-second transaction confirmation** ([Link](https://docs.matrix.io/general/summary-of-matrix-1.0-and-matrix-2.0)). These benchmarks position Matrix to support large-scale real-world asset (RWA) tokenization initiatives while maintaining a seamless user experience.

#### Operational Efficiency

* **Transaction fees** are remarkably low—just **0.001 MAN tokens** per transaction—enabling micro-payment and high-frequency operations.
* When paired with **HKD-based stablecoins**, investors gain a predictable pricing environment free from crypto market volatility, eliminating cost uncertainty for transactional operations.
