Aptos achieves horizontal scalability—1 MILLION TPS unlocked 🔓
As the demands of Web3 grow, so must the foundational technology. Today, we're proud to unveil Shardines, Aptos' sharded execution engine designed for infinite horizontal scalability.
💡 Why this matters:
Aptos already leads in the industry with advancements in consensus, storage, latency, and smart contract frameworks.
With Shardines, we tackle one of blockchain's toughest challenges—scaling execution, a CPU-bound process that ultimately requires multiple machines.
Shardines takes a new approach by decoupling execution from storage and consensus, allowing each component to scale independently while maximizing throughput.
👀 The results:
Horizontal scalability to over 1 MILLION TPS for non-conflicting transactions and over 500,000 TPS for conflicting transactions.
This milestone is not the end but a critical step forward in blockchain scalability—unlocking Web3's biggest use cases: on-chain global markets, scaled DeFi, and digital economies.
We already know money moves better on Aptos. Soon, entire financial systems will move on Aptos.
