So either they aren't going to use a blockchain, they are introducing some centralization (witnesses, validators, whatever), or its simply BS.
We at
HEAT guarantee 1000 tps 24/7 and have in tests achieved 20k tps with 10-year old hardware. HEAT is a total remake for decentralized ledger and is aimed for industrial use eg. High Frequency Trading.
That's through a replicator layer which uses semi-centralized proxy to process the high transaction throughput and forward it in batches to blockchain where required.
