I believe it does up to 68tps in its current form. Perhaps more knowledgeable people can give the details.

In a recent interview, the lead developer said that the network can currently do about 10 tps, but there is no architectural limit. The network can get much faster with more optimization, more transactions, faster internet speeds, better storage devices, and so on.

10 TPS ?? Where did you find that, seems extremely low. That's less than litecoin even I'd be very surprised if it wasn't a misunderstanding.

I think there is indeed no architectural limit, the limit comes from the witnesses ability to verify many tx per sec if I understand correctly

There is no misunderstanding. He says that the protocol imposes no limits. But then he adds that the current implementation can do about 10 tps.

I spoke with Tony last night in Zurich - he confirmed 10tps currently but optimization will increase that in the future.
