What is Aptos?
Aptos is a Layer 1 blockchain that emerged from Meta’s Diem project, built by Aptos Labs using the Move programming language. Designed for safety and scalability, Aptos uses a parallel execution engine that processes transactions concurrently, achieving high throughput without sacrificing security.
The network launched in October 2022 with a focus on reliability and developer experience. Aptos uses a Byzantine Fault Tolerant proof-of-stake consensus mechanism and features a novel approach to smart contract safety through Move’s resource-oriented programming model, which prevents common vulnerabilities like double-spending at the language level.
Aptos has attracted institutional interest and a growing DeFi ecosystem. The APT token is used for transaction fees, staking, and network governance.
