# Performance
Naturally, transaction throughput performance - usually measured as transactions per second - is a key metric for adopters, who need to be confident that Mojaloop can support their requirements, whether it be a national deployment, or sector-specific, or multi-national.
For this reason, the Mojaloop Community has established a performance baseline, and works continuously to refine and improve the efficiency of transaction processing.
# Performance Baseline
Version 17.0.0 of the Mojaloop Hub has been demonstrated to support the following performance characteristics on minimal hardware:
- Clearing 1,000 transfers per second
- Sustained for one hour
- With not more than 1% (of transfer stage) taking more than 1 second through the hub
This baseline performance can be used as a reference point for system sizing and capacity planning.
Naturally, higher performance may be expected using greater hardware resources.
# Future Performance Expectations
Work continues to replace Mojaloop's existing ledger technology with the TigerBeetle (opens new window) financial transactions database. As the ledger performance is a significant element of the overall performance of Mojaloop, a significant uptick in that performance is expected through the adoption of TigerBeetle, with this expected to be completed by the time of the release of Mojaloop Version 19.0.
