Aptos is often called “the Solana killer,” but it’s not trying to be faster, it’s trying to be more predictable.
Built by former Meta engineers, @Aptos focuses on deterministic performance & safe parallel execution
That means it scales without surprise bottlenecks
🧵👇 (1/6)
Aptos was born out of Meta’s abandoned Diem project
The team behind @Aptos, many of whom worked on Diem and the Move programming language, took the lessons learned from building a global-scale payments system and applied it to an L1. (2/6)
Aptos uses “Block-STM,” a parallel execution engine.
Unlike Ethereum (sequential) or even Solana (parallelized per runtime), @Aptos allows transactions to be pre-executed in parallel and validated post-execution.
This improves throughput without sacrificing determinism (3/6)
Move, the @Aptos-native smart contract language, was made to avoid hacks like reentrancy.
It’s resource-oriented, meaning you literally own a token, and it can’t be∫ duplicated or lost due to a bug. Move is like Rust for smart contracts. (4/6)
Aptos achieves sub-second finality with its BFT consensus.
Even in turbulent market conditions or network stress, @Aptos finalizes most blocks in <1s. That makes it ideal for high-frequency DeFi or gaming. (5/6)
Aptos is built for upgradability.
The protocol can evolve without forks, thanks to native modularity in the Move VM and runtime.
This makes @Aptos future-proof for adding zk support, new fee markets, and even novel token standards.
