title = "Ethereum Transaction Performance Evaluation Using Test-Nets",
abstract = "Blockchain technologies can safely and neutrally store and process transaction data (including smart contracts) on the chain. Based on smart contracts, a special type of applications can be deployed, known as Decentralized Applications (DApps). Within existing Blockchain platforms, Ethereum is the most popular one adopted for DApp developments. The performance constraints of Ethereum dramatical impact usability of DApp. In this paper, we experimentally evaluate the performances of Ethereum from 3 types of tests: 1) Account balance query latency 2) Block generation time and 3) End-to-end transaction acceptance latency. The results show that the end-to-end transaction time in Ethereum is unstable. Consequently, the applications with low latency constraints and high frequency transaction requirements are not ready to be deployed unless off-chain transaction methods are considered.",
