Exponential back-off will be added to the Aptos Node v1.2 version along with performance improvements to lower latencies and better handle timeouts for full nodes in low-bandwidth scenarios.
The Move programming language is used with the Aptos Layer 1 blockchain. The upgrade will include compile-time checks for transaction arguments, smart contracts, view functions, and new integer types (u16, u32, and u256). The AIP 1, AIP 2, AIP 3, and AIP 4 governance proposals will be able to minimize gas, improve transaction efficiency, and implement various token changes thanks to the latest version release on the Aptos mainnet.
Along with adding features and improvements, the team also repaired a few bugs that might have caused validators to crash or the system to become destabilized. The bugs were found through a bug bounty program and ordinary third-party auditing.
