On February 5, the Aptos Labs team announced that the sharded execution engine has enabled the Aptos Layer 1 blockchain to achieve horizontal scalability. This milestone allows Aptos to handle up to 1 million TPS for non-conflicting transactions and over 500,000 TPS for conflicting transactions. The ability to achieve infinite horizontal scalability is in line with the crypto industry’s desire for solutions that improve execution speed.
Shardines is expected to accelerate the growth of Web3 by separating consensus from storage, allowing for independent scaling. This allows the network to maximize throughput and fully utilize horizontal scalability. According to Aptos Labs, this development marks a key step toward unlocking the full potential of Web3.
In the blockchain space, highly scalable networks are critical to the development of the crypto industry. This includes efforts in use cases such as global blockchain markets, decentralized finance, and the digital economy. One effort to support this is what Aptos Labs announced in January: Zaptos. According to the platform, Zaptos is designed to reduce end-to-end latency, achieving sub-second finality at 20,000 TPS. This breakthrough has the potential to transform DeFi, gaming, and crypto payments, among other sectors.
