Aptos Labs unveils MonoMove execution engine upgrade claiming up to 55x speedup
Aptos Labs has announced MonoMove, a proposed execution engine redesign for the Aptos blockchain that demonstrated up to 55-fold speedups in smart contract tests compared to the current Move VM.
Aptos Labs has unveiled MonoMove, a proposed overhaul of the Aptos blockchain's execution engine designed to accelerate smart contract performance. Internal testing indicated that certain smart contract workloads ran up to 55 times faster than on the current Move VM.[1][2][3]
According to BSCN, tests of the re-architected system utilized Aptos mainnet transaction data from decentralized derivatives exchange DecibelTrade. The benchmarks revealed a 55-fold increase in collateral withdrawal speed, a 38-fold increase for perpetual contract requests, and a 22-fold gain for placing active orders. Furthermore, full end-to-end simulations of multi-asset workloads—including automated payments, order book management, and money market operations—yielded up to an 11-fold boost in sequential system throughput.[2][3]
The proposed architecture upgrade remains subject to governance approval, according to Wu Blockchain. Aptos Labs expects MonoMove to reach feature completeness by the end of 2026, with a mainnet rollout scheduled for 2027.[3]
