Latency & Finality Comparator

Speed is the difference between an app that feels instant and one that makes users wait. Compare Altius's confirmation and finality targets against a shared chain — for a single action and across a sequence.

How it's modeled

  • Altius confirmation — sub-millisecond acknowledgement of an action (target <1 ms).
  • Altius finality — deterministic settlement on the order of one block (target ~60 ms), so confirmed actions are final almost immediately.
  • Shared-chain finality — the editable baseline (default 5 s) represents waiting on a chain you share with everyone else.
  • Sequential actions — many flows chain multiple dependent actions; the cumulative view shows how the per-action gap compounds.

Target figures

Latency and finality numbers are targets / benchmarked, not audited production guarantees. The shared-chain baseline is illustrative and editable.
