Frequently asked questions
What is Aptos?
Aptos is a Layer 1 blockchain that utilizes the Move programming language for smart contract development, aiming for high throughput and low latency through parallel execution and the AptosBFT consensus mechanism.
What programming language does Aptos use?
Aptos uses Move, a safe and flexible programming language originally developed for the Diem blockchain project, designed to prevent common vulnerabilities like reentrancy attacks.
How does Aptos achieve scalability?
Aptos achieves scalability through a parallel execution engine that processes transactions concurrently and a pipelined consensus mechanism called AptosBFT, allowing it to handle a high number of transactions per second.
What is Aptos connected to?
In the DeFi Intel knowledge graph, Aptos is linked to 7 other tracked entities, most strongly to Circle, Wormhole, Pyth Network.
