🔥 Aptos Labs Unveils MonoMove With Up to 55x Faster Smart Contract Execution

Aptos Labs has unveiled MonoMove, a proposed upgrade to the Aptos execution engine. Internal tests showed some smart contract workloads running up to 55x faster than the current Move VM, while separate benchmarks recorded up to 11x higher end-to-end sequential throughput.

The biggest gains included 55x faster collateral withdrawals, 40x faster vault requests, 38x faster perpetual-market workloads and 22x faster order placement.

Subject to governance approval, MonoMove is expected to reach feature completeness by the end of 2026, with a mainnet rollout planned for 2027.

The 55x figure remains an internal benchmark and does not yet represent proven mainnet performance.
