Developers are working to correct misconceptions about the capabilities of Cardano Hydra Head. While it was previously thought that Hydra could process over one million transactions per second (TPS), it can actually only handle thousands of TPS. Each "Hydra head" is capable of processing 1000 TPS based on simulations, but the performance will scale up as more stake pools are added. The release of the first functional Mainnet version of Hydra was recently announced, and more upgrades are expected in the future. Despite the overhyped expectations, Hydra still offers increased throughput, minimized latency, and cost-efficient solutions without substantial storage requirements.
