Aptos Labs recently introduced Shardines, a new blockchain execution engine that unlocks horizontal scalability for the Aptos Layer 1 blockchain, enabling the processing of 1 million transactions per second (TPS).
Shardines enables Aptos to process up to 1 million TPS for non-conflicting transactions and over 500 thousand TPS for conflicting transactions. According to Aptos Labs, Shardines can achieve near-linear throughput improvements, surpassing 1 million TPS on a 30-machine cluster.
This development is in line with the crypto industry’s goal of creating solutions that increase execution speed. Shardines is expected to accelerate the growth of Web3 by separating consensus from storage, allowing for independent scaling.
Thus, the network can maximize throughput and take full advantage of horizontal scalability.
In addition to Shardines, Aptos Labs also introduced Zaptos in January, which is designed to reduce end-to-end latency and achieve sub-second finality at 20K TPS.
These innovations, along with native USDC support and integrations with Chainlink and Aave v3, demonstrate Aptos’ commitment to unlocking the full potential of Web3.
