Aptos has made Block-STM v2 its default transaction processing engine on its Layer-1 blockchain, enabling faster parallel execution of transactions. This upgrade allows transactions to be processed simultaneously, only redoing those that conflict, improving efficiency without requiring any changes from users or developers. The update targets high-frequency DeFi activities, aiming to handle bursts of activity more smoothly while keeping costs low.
