How is the performance of Elixir for blockchain apps?
I am try to learning elixir since 5 month, and I had a project in golang for mobile back-end for blockchain app, it had amazing performance, I am just curious about performance of elixir for blockchain apps, any idea?

As @victorbjorklund says, it depends on what you are after. Elixir performance characteristics are pretty well documented in these forums. Examples include:
Elixir language potential evaluation (comparison with go)
Elixir is not great at heavy duty number-crunching (although, depending on what you are doing, Elixir-Nx is addressing that).
However, for things like web-apps, the templating system and process model make for very efficient, performant web-apps that stay predictably responsive under load - e.g. no “stop-the-world” garbage collection.
“Blockchain apps” is a very broad set of possible applications with wildly different performance requirements so I don’t think you’re going to get a better answer without being more specific.

Probably helps if you expand a bit what the blockchain app is (which helps understand where bottlenecks are). Its a very broad category from exchanges (where every ms matters) to web3 nft apps etc.
