When it comes to blockchain performance, transaction speeds and finality latency play a crucial role. Thanks to its advanced infrastructure and innovative technologies, Aptos stands out by offering low latency compared to its competitors. So how is Aptos’ latency performance measured, and how does it compare to other chains? Let’s dive into the details!
Live Monitoring with Grafana
Aptos utilizes the Grafana panel to measure and analyze latency metrics. This panel tracks key metrics such as p50 Mainnet Latency and E2E Latency with Finality (p50).
- p50 Mainnet Latency: Measures transaction latency on the Aptos mainnet. p50 (percentile 50) indicates that 50% of transactions are completed in less time than this value.
- E2E Latency with Finality (p50): Measures the time taken from transaction submission to finality. Finality refers to the point at which a transaction becomes irreversible.
These metrics are essential for monitoring transaction times in real-time, assessing performance, and detecting network congestion.
Comparing Blockchains
The E2E Latency Benchmark panel compares Aptos’ latency performance against other blockchain networks. Here are some key takeaways:
- Solana (Finalized): Typically has the longest finality latency, reaching 15+ seconds.
- Aptos and Sui Fast Path: Among the chains with the lowest latency.
- Other chains (Arbitrum, AVAX C, Base, Near, Optimism, Polygon): Offer finality times ranging from 3 to 6 seconds.
Aptos vs. Sui: A Closer Look
Sui “Fast Path” transactions appear to have very low latency, but this does not always translate to finality time. Aptos demonstrates consistent performance with low and stable finality latency. Sui “Consensus Path” transactions can sometimes take significantly longer, making its finality time appear more variable compared to Aptos. In summary, while Sui may have some faster transactions, its overall finality times are less predictable, whereas Aptos delivers a more stable and low-latency performance. This suggests that Aptos may have an edge in both reliability and speed.
Conclusion: Aptos Leads in Speed and Reliability!
With its low latency and rapid finality mechanism, Aptos provides an ideal infrastructure for decentralized applications (dApps), financial transactions, and on-chain activities. Compared to its competitors, Aptos is faster and more efficient, reinforcing its position as a scalable and high-performance blockchain.
If you’re looking for a blockchain with low latency and high performance, Aptos stands out as a powerful choice!
