Aptos Ecosystem

Introduction to Aptos

Aptos is a blockchain that aims to be scalable. This means that it won't slow down when it gets busier than usual, thereby saving people's time and money while striving to be safe and reliable.

The White paper states that the Aptos blockchain has been developed over the past three years by more than 350 developers worldwide. It offers new innovations in consensus, smart contract design, system security, performance, and decentralization. The combination of these technologies will provide a fundamental blockchain for delivering web3 to users.

Aptos was founded by CEO Mo Shaikh and CTO Avery Ching, who were former employees at Facebook Meta owners. They were part of the team responsible for attempts to create the Diem blockchain and Novi cryptocurrency wallet. Although these plans never materialized, the skills and technologies that were already in place are being used for the new project, which also works with non-fungible tokens (NFT).

Aptos Blockchain Capabilities

The blockchain uses a Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus protocol, which ensures high performance. Based on the original BFT consensus "Hotstuff", Aptos Labs spent 3 years developing its BFT V4 engine. The blockchain has the following capabilities:

Feature Description
Zero Downtime Achieved through a diverse set of operators.
Fast Transaction Finality Ensures quick confirmation of transactions.
Decentralization The project is well-suited for decentralization.

 

These features make APTOS a strong L1 blockchain for deploying smart contracts. The project also has a special feature known as parallel execution. This means that APТOS can run multiple chains simultaneously. For comparison, modern blockchains like Bitcoin or Ethereum use sequential execution. Simply put, they can only process a transaction after verifying the previous one. The project also uses a programming language called Move. In the past, Move was built specifically for the development of Diem. Now, it helps developers create APTOS. The MOVE programming language has several advantages:

  • easy setup of digital assets;
  • secure information storage;
  • simple error correction;
  • quick code verification and testing;
  • simple multi-chain development for applications.

Compared to Solidity, Move has better features and more tools for developers to create their smart contracts.

Mechanism for Interacting with NFTs

NFTs are digital assets that can come in the form of art, music, in-game items, videos, and much more. They are bought and sold online, often with cryptocurrency, and they are typically encoded with the same underlying software as many cryptocurrencies. Developers have made many improvements for minting millions of NFTs:

  • a highly efficient Aptos parallel execution mechanism significantly speeds up the ability to mint NFTs: both creating and replenishing new accounts, and then minting NFTs for them;
  • Aptos CLI allows you to test the contract locally and then easily deploy it to the network with confidence in its functionality;
  • Typescript SDK allows you to write a quick script and then create and send a transaction to mint the actual NFT.

The Aptos toolkit ultimately allows users to deploy hundreds of instances in the cloud, continuously sending transactions in a cycle. Aptos can issue a significant number of NFTs simultaneously, on multiple platforms.
