Hello everyone,

I’m a PhD student in the Computer Science department at USF. My current research focuses on performance modeling and evaluation of public blockchains, specifically Algorand.

Firstly, I want to express my gratitude for this environment. There are highly technical and valuable posts here, and I have learned a lot.

Currently, I am conducting an experiment, specifically a stress test on Algorand. I am analyzing how blocks fill during periods of high traffic. My goal is to determine whether all 10,000 transactions sent to the network will be included in the next block (given its capacity for 10,000 transactions), or if they will be spread across several upcoming blocks.

I would greatly appreciate your insights and experiences in this area.

Thank you.
