Parallel execution of transactions is cool, but what if the workloads are sequential? At @AptosLabs, we came up with a solution that allows parallel execution of smart contracts even in presence of read-write conflicts. Make sure to check out this post!

@BL0CKRUNNER Let me point out here before people confuse Sui with Move: some of the issues the original blog states are specific to Sui Move and are not present in Move in general as used at Aptos. Others are being in the process of being changed. Upgradability. On Aptos Move contracts can.

@Justin_Bons Narwhal is not Sui's. It was developed at Novi by researchers who are now both at Aptos and Mysten. Moreover, the only Blockchain that is currently using Narewhal is Aptos. Sui gave up on the "paradigm shift in blockchain design" to gain better latency under low load, while.

A great example of the Aptos Research vision!. We don't waste time on overselling and publishing incremental results. We focus on making Aptos the best, and we see our research all the way to production. We are so fortunate to have @alinush407, second to none on both code.

Aptos tech is crushing it. Yesterday saw:. ~50x more daily txns than Ethereum (L1) .~10x more daily txns than Base (L2). bots or not (this is a permissionless network after all) let’s be honest, how many chains could have handled a spike like that?. Aptos handled the volume surge.

1/2 The problem with research today is that we have too much of it. Too many PhDs, too many conferences, too many papers. Most papers are incremental at best, which authors try to oversell. 90% of the papers are accepted only because something has to (too many conferences).

Apps are now recovering. We had modeled a ~10x surge in traffic and load tested it. This exceeded that number. It's expensive to keep services over-provisioned, but we'll need to keep working on auto-scaling solutions, and killing any remaining bottlenecks. Thank you for.

When we all left Novi, there was a serious tech gap between what was needed in the space and what was available. The reason I chose to take my research and join Aptos over the other offers and opportunities I considered is that I believed that if someone can build technology to.
