Aptos
Aptos is a scalable next-gen Layer 1 blockchain offering high security, speed, and modular design.
General info
Learn about this network
Consensus Mechanism
Diem Byzantine Fault Tolerant (dBFT) Proof of Stake (POS)
Programming language
Aptos is written Move, which is based on Rust. Move emphasizes scarcity and access control. Since Move is an interpreted language, it doesn't require a compiler, eliminating the risk of compiler bugs and enhancing security.
Network features
Learn about this network's features
Move VM
Aptos uses the Move VM for operations like account creation, fund transfer, and publishing modules. Move ensures safe resource management and predictable transaction execution, defending against denial of service attacks.
dBFT consensus Protocol
Aptos runs validator nodes using DiemBFT v4, a consensus protocol that orders transactions on the Move VM. DiemBFT v4 commits blocks in as few as two network round-trips, enabling sub-second finality.
Security
Aptos uses Rust and Move for secure protocol and smart contract logic. Modular design and key rotation enhance security, efficiently mitigating risks and preventing attacks.
