What is Aptos
Aptos is a Layer 1 blockchain launched in 2022, developed by a team of former engineers from Meta's Diem project (Facebook's abandoned cryptocurrency initiative), built on the Move programming language, designed specifically for smart contract security.
Aptos positions itself as a direct competitor to blockchains like Solana and Ethereum, focusing on high transaction speed and parallelised smart contract execution, though its market capitalisation has fallen significantly from the highs reached after launch.
