About Aptos
A next-generation layer-1 blockchain built by ex-Meta Diem engineers.
Aptos is a layer-1 blockchain launched in 2022 by Mo Shaikh and Avery Ching, both former Meta engineers who worked on the Diem (Libra) project. Aptos uses the Move programming language — developed originally for Diem — which has formal verification properties that make smart contracts more secure. The network uses a BFT consensus called AptosBFT and achieves sub-second finality.
Aptos has attracted DeFi protocols, NFT platforms, and gaming applications drawn to its performance and Move's security properties. Thala Labs, Aries Markets, and Echelon are among the leading DeFi protocols on Aptos. APT is used for transaction fees, staking, and governance. Aptos has received significant investment from a16z and Jump Crypto.
