Aptos Blockchain

Quorum Store

• Tune QS backpressure configs to reduce latency at higher throughput.
• The QS backpressure mechanism calculates the number of transactions in the pipeline, and triggers backpressure if this count is too large. As different batches could contain duplicate transactions, to handle this effectively, we changed the QS backpressure to calculate the number of “unique” and “unexpired” transactions in the pipeline.

Move

Framework

• Add derived supply to dispatchable fungible assets.

VM

• Disallow users to public modules with native functions to non-special address.
• Disallow dispatching on custom native function. VM will raise RUNTIME_DISPATCH_ERROR at unexpected location.
• Remove writeset transaction generator
