Decibel is a fully on-chain trading engine that unifies spot, perps, margin, vaults, and composable DeFi ecosystem integrations that bring yield opportunities into one programmable platform—delivering CEX-class performance without surrendering custody or transparency.
Aptos officially announced the launch of a brand-new execution engine, MonoMove, describing it as the largest scalability upgrade in the history of the Aptos network, aimed at improving the execution efficiency and security of on-chain financial transactions. According to test data published by Aptos Labs, in tests that replayed real mainnet transactions from Decibel, MonoMove delivered a significant improvement in execution speed compared to the existing Move virtual machine. Specifically, collateral withdrawals were accelerated by up to 55x, vault requests by up to 40x, perpetual market requests by up to 38x, and order submissions by up to 22x. Furthermore, internal benchmark tests simulating complex financial workflows demonstrated an end-to-end throughput increase of up to 11x. MonoMove is currently being integrated into the Aptos execution engine, with full feature development expected to be completed by the end of 2026. Deployment on the mainnet is planned for 2027, pending approval via governance voting. All aforementioned performance metrics are derived from test environments and do not yet reflect actual mainnet operational results.
Aptos Labs has announced the launch of MonoMove, the largest proposed upgrade in the history of the Aptos blockchain execution engine. Aptos Labs stated that internal testing shows MonoMove can run smart contracts up to 55 times faster than the existing system; on its incubated fully on-chain trading platform Decibel, collateral withdrawal speeds increased by up to 55 times, and order placement speeds increased by up to 22 times.
The Aptos Foundation and Aptos Labs announced an investment of over $50 million to support first-party products, research, protocol infrastructure, and a strategic fund for trading and AI partners. Aptos stated that Decibel has launched on the Aptos mainnet, with cumulative trading volume exceeding $1 billion. The stablecoin market cap on the Aptos network stands at $1.93 billion, and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization totals $1.2 billion, with asset management firms including BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and Apollo Global already deployed on the network. Upcoming initiatives include encrypted mempools, FIX and CCXT connectivity, multi-leader consensus, and confidential perpetuals.
Aptos released an update to its tokenomics. Key adjustments include: reducing the annual staking reward rate from 5.19% to 2.6%; increasing gas fees by 10x (stablecoin transfer costs remain low at approximately $0.00014); the launch of the Decibel DEX is expected to significantly boost on-chain transaction volume and gas fee burning, with over 32 million APT projected to be burned annually; setting a protocol-layer hard cap on total supply at 2.1 billion APT; permanently locking and staking 210 million APT by the Aptos Foundation; shifting future incentives to milestone-triggered releases; and exploring a programmable buyback program.
