Aptos is a layer-1 proof-of-stake blockchain developed by a team with origins in Meta’s Diem blockchain project. It launched on mainnet in October 2022 and is built around Move, a programming language originally developed for Diem that emphasizes resource safety and formal verification. Aptos uses a parallel execution engine called Block-STM, which processes non-conflicting transactions simultaneously to increase throughput beyond what sequential execution allows, targeting sub-second finality under normal conditions.<\/p>\n
The APT token is used for transaction fees and staking. Validators must stake APT to participate in consensus, and delegators can contribute stake to validator pools. APT’s price is influenced by developer adoption of the Move ecosystem, the volume of decentralized applications deployed, competition from other high-performance layer-1 blockchains, and the availability of APT through token unlocks from its vesting schedules. Aptos has attracted investment from Andreessen Horowitz, Multicoin Capital, and other prominent venture firms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Originally developed for Meta's Diem project, Move aims to reduce common smart contract vulnerabilities. Aptos and Sui are currently the primary blockchains using Move in production.\"},{\"q\":\"How does Block-STM improve throughput?\",\"a\":\"Block-STM is a parallel execution engine that optimistically executes multiple transactions simultaneously, then detects and re-executes any that conflict. Because most real-world transactions involve different accounts and do not conflict, Aptos can process many transactions concurrently, increasing effective throughput over strictly sequential models.\"},{\"q\":\"What risks should APT investors consider?\",\"a\":\"APT has a significant ongoing token release from vesting schedules covering team, investors, and foundation, which can create selling pressure over time. Aptos competes directly with Solana and newer entrants like Sui. Its developer ecosystem is smaller than Ethereum's. As with all layer-1 tokens, APT is highly volatile and speculative.\"},{\"q\":\"Who developed Aptos?\",\"a\":\"Aptos was founded by Mo Shaikh and Avery Ching, both formerly engineers on Meta's Diem project, which was abandoned in early 2022. After Diem's dissolution, the team founded Aptos Labs and built Aptos independently using Move. Aptos is a separate commercial entity with no formal connection to Meta.\"}]"},"class_list":["post-1000053","coin","type-coin","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.themarketperiodical.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coin\/1000053","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.themarketperiodical.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coin"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.themarketperiodical.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/coin"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.themarketperiodical.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1000053"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
