Aptos makes Block-STM v2 its default parallel execution engine
- —Block-STM v2 now runs by default on the Aptos mainnet
- —The engine re-executes only conflicting transactions
- —Scaling targets configurations of up to 256 cores
- —2022 benchmarks of v1 showed roughly 170k TPS
Why it matters: The upgrade reduces transaction conflicts in high-demand DeFi workloads and could lift network throughput without raising user costs.
