About Aptos

What Is Aptos?

Aptos (APT) is a high-performance Layer-1 blockchain launched in 2022 by former Diem (Facebook) engineers to deliver safe, upgradeable, and scalable infrastructure. Aptos aims for instant finality, low fees, and rapid feature delivery for Web3 dApps.

Who Are the Founders of Aptos?

Founded by Avery Ching and Mo Shaikh, veterans of Meta’s Diem project, who established Aptos Labs to commercialize the Move language and build a production-grade blockchain post-Diem shutdown.

What Makes Aptos Unique?

Its use of Move, a resource-oriented, formally verified smart-contract language and Block-STM parallel execution engine enables high throughput (up to 160K TPS in benchmarks), making it one of the fastest public blockchains.

How Is the Aptos Network Secured?

Secured by AptosBFT, a Byzantine Fault Tolerant Proof-of-Stake consensus protocol that provides sub-second finality and validator rotation.

What Is Aptos’s Role in the Crypto Ecosystem?

Positions itself as the enterprise-grade foundation for next-gen DeFi, NFTs, gaming, and infrastructure projects requiring speed, safety, and upgradability.

How Is Aptos’s Technology Upgraded?

Upgraded through a community governance model, where developers and stakeholders propose and implement improvements.

Who Are the Largest Corporate Holders of Aptos?

Aptos Foundation, large venture-backed ecosystem funds (e.g., Jump Crypto), and major validators (Figment, Chorus One) hold the bulk of APT to secure consensus and guide ecosystem growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Aptos is treated as a utility token under global crypto regulations, with additional scrutiny due to its Facebook-related origins.
