About Aptos

Aptos is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain built by former Meta (Facebook) employees who worked on the Diem (formerly Libra) blockchain project. Aptos uses the Move programming language — originally developed for Diem — which prioritizes safety and formal verification for smart contracts. With parallel transaction processing via Block-STM, Aptos achieves high throughput while maintaining security. The platform targets decentralized applications requiring high reliability and low latency.
