Aptos Reaches Major Milestone with Shardines, Achieving 1 Million Transactions Per Second

Aptos Labs has made a significant announcement, revealing that its new blockchain execution engine, Shardines, has unlocked 1 million transactions per second (TPS) for Aptos.

Unlocking Horizontal Scalability

The Aptos Labs team announced on February 5 that the sharded execution engine has enabled the Layer 1 blockchain Aptos to achieve horizontal scalability. This milestone allows Aptos to process up to 1 million TPS for non-conflicting transactions and more than 500,000 TPS for conflicting transactions.

“With Shardines, we can achieve near-linear throughput scaling, surpassing 1 million TPS on our 30-machine cluster.”

Accelerating Web3 Growth

The capacity for infinite horizontal scalability aligns with the crypto industry’s push for solutions that enhance execution speed. Shardines is expected to accelerate web3 growth by decoupling consensus from storage, enabling independent scaling. This allows the network to maximize throughput and fully leverage horizontal scalability.

Importance of Scalability in Blockchain

In the blockchain space, highly scalable networks are crucial for the crypto industry’s traction. This is true of efforts across use cases such as on-chain global markets, decentralized finance, and digital economies.

Aptos Labs announced in January that Zaptos, a platform designed to reduce end-to-end latency, achieved sub-second finality at 20,000 TPS. This breakthrough has the potential to transform DeFi, gaming, and crypto payments, among other sectors.

Some key developments for Aptos include:

• Native USDC support
• Integrations with Chainlink
• Aave v3 deployment

These developments demonstrate Aptos’ commitment to enhancing the scalability and usability of its blockchain network.
