3. Block-STM parallel execution: Aptos has designed an efficient, multi-threaded parallel execution engine to improve the efficiency of transaction execution.
Compared with other public chains, Aptos adopts the BFT consensus mechanism and the technological innovation of parallel computing to achieve better performance of the public chain. Currently, Aptos claims to be able to process more than 10,000 transactions per second, and ideally, 160,000 transactions in the future.
