Parallel Execution with Block-STM: How Aptos Scales Smart



Most blockchains still execute transactions sequentially; one at a time. This approach limits throughput and creates bottlenecks as demand rises.

Aptos solves this with Block-STM, a parallel execution engine.

Here’s how it works:

•Transactions run in parallel by default
•If there’s a conflict (e.g., two txs trying to touch the same data), the system handles it post-execution
•No need to queue every transaction

This design allows Aptos to maintain high throughput and low latency even under heaviest loads.
