Aptos apt
What is Aptos?
Aptos is a Layer 1 blockchain designed for scalability, safety, and upgradeability. It uses the Move programming language and Block-STM parallel execution engine. APT is the native token for gas, staking, and governance.
What problem does Aptos solve?
Aptos addresses limitations in blockchain scalability and safety by using Move for resource-oriented smart contracts and Block-STM for parallel transaction execution, enabling high throughput without compromising security.
How does Aptos work?
Aptos uses Move, a Rust-based language with resource types that prevent double-spending and reentrancy. Block-STM executes transactions in parallel with optimistic concurrency control. APT is used for gas fees, validator staking, and on-chain governance.
