TrustSQL features high performance, high security, high speed access and efficient operation. Partners will have access to industrial-level blockchain infrastructure with more secure and equal services. On the New Year’s Eve in 2017, Tencent once again set a new world record – the Tencent FiT payment platform processed over 200,000 red envelope transactions per second concurrently. Relying on such management and development experience, the TrustSQL is capable of processing 10,000 transactions per second through a variety of model analysis and pressure test.
According to the white paper, the overall structure of TrustSQL is divided into three layers: the bottom layer is the Trust SQL platform that could be accessed via SQL and API, which is developed by Tencent independently. The middle layer , or the product service layer, is called Trust Platform, through which the aforementioned 5 scenarios could be deployed.
