Introducing MonoMove: the rebuilt Aptos execution engine and the largest performance upgrade since mainnet. Markets onchain need scale and safety. MonoMove is built for both. The Move code behind every order, loan, and payout executes up to 55x faster. Parallelism is not even switched on yet.

The execution engine runs the Move smart contracts behind every transfer, trade, loan, and payment on Aptos. Institutional trading, clearing, and settlement need what today's engines were not built for: sustained throughput at market scale, continuous market data, and asset protections that hold when volume spikes. MonoMove was rebuilt to support that.

MonoMove rebuilds the MoveVM and the execution stack around it. Replaying mainnet @DecibelTrade transactions, execution speedup over the current Move VM: • Perp collateral withdrawals: up to 55x • Vault request processing: up to 40x • Perp market requests: up to 38x • Order placement: up to 22x

MonoMove unlocks low-latency Move execution across the network. It also already improves end-to-end blockchain throughput by up to 11x without any additional optimizations and without parallelism. How we measured: realistic crypto workloads such as trading, borrowing/lending, and payments, running on both engines against a real database. Execution now has more room for complex applications.

MonoMove keeps Move rules on how assets are created, copied, and transferred, and layers redundant checks in the verifier and the VM. Whole classes of bugs are eliminated by construction rather than caught after the fact. Differential testing is expanding alongside it: identical transactions, identical results. Formal verification of critical components is coming as well.

Feature completeness is targeted for the end of 2026, with mainnet rollout planned for 2027 pending a governance vote. Performance and safety are advancing together, for the institutions bringing markets onchain. More on MonoMove via @TheStreet:

@Aptos Time to 55x aptos:native on chart fam 🙌 LFG team wake up 🫡

@Aptos 55x faster before parallelism is even enabled is wild feats

@Aptos there’s still more performance waiting to be unlocked 🔥

@Aptos MonoMove được xây dựng lại với hiệu suất lớn nhất kể từ mainnet 🙂

@Aptos 🫡👀

@Aptos Let’s see it under load 🔥

@Aptos MonoMove is a big leap for Aptos execution.

@Aptos and the infra stack is all built on Aptos?

@Aptos Aptos is pushing the execution layer pretty hard.

@Aptos Orders and loans and payouts all speeding up at the same time

@Aptos Monomove is the owner of big movements.

@Aptos Would real trading volume make it obvious?

@Aptos Safety and speed moving together is the right framing. Most chains pick one.

@Aptos 55x faster parallelism ahead impressive upgrade

@Aptos If 55x is possible before parallelism, Aptos may have way more headroom than people realize.

@Aptos 55x faster is a serious upgrade for Aptos.

@Aptos Honestly 55x faster and parallelism isn’t even on? That’s crazy.

@Aptos 55x on collateral withdrawals and vault processing before parallelism is even switched on is crazyyyy

@Aptos 55x before parallelism is live is a serious upgrade

@Aptos Orders loans and payouts all getting faster at once

@Aptos This is massive for DeFi on Aptos

@Aptos Sounds great, what's the plan to enable parallelism soon?

@Aptos another major upgrade for Aptos. let's see how it goes.

@Aptos Awesome achievement

@Aptos Onchain markets need both throughput and predictable execution, this targets both.

@Aptos If 55x is the starting point, parallelism could get wild.

@Aptos those decibel numbers on real workloads are the real proof 🔥

@Aptos Big moves in execution speed are crucial for scaling. Excited to see how MonoMove impacts the ecosystem.

@Aptos If this is the baseline before parallelism, the upside is interesting.

@Aptos execution speed becomes way more important as more financial activity moves onchain.

@Aptos Rebuilding the execution layer around institutional workloads makes a lot of sense if Aptos wants serious onchain markets.

@Aptos 55x faster before parallelism even kicks in is a pretty serious upgrade

@Aptos Rebuilding the execution engine at this level is a pretty serious upgrade.

@Aptos If the Decibel replay numbers hold once the book is actually moving, the gap between lab and production might finally be smaller than usual.
