The Aptos group validated the existing state of the network. Via Discord, the designers composed that the other day’s 4 deals per second do not show the optimum TPS. A low network load is typical at the start of the mainnet. As quickly as user activity on the network increases, the blockchain will expose its real scalability, Aptos specified.

As constantly, the security of the Aptos Neighborhood is leading concern. Talk about Aptos channels (Discord & & Telegram) were proactively near to safeguard the neighborhood from rip-offs throughout this window.

Designers are actively keeping track of and channels will go back to typical when proper.
