The main differences between Apt (Aptos) and Sui:
1. Transaction processing method:
- Apt: Globally sort all transactions.
- Sui: Differentiate between transactions that require consensus and those that do not, with the latter being processed faster.
2. Technical focus:
- Apt: Focus on security and reliability.
- Sui: Emphasizes high throughput and low latency.
3. Consensus Mechanism:
- Apt: Uses the Block-STM parallel execution engine.
- Sui: uses Narwhal and Bullshark algorithms.
4. Scalability strategy:
- Apt: Improve throughput through parallel execution.
- Sui: Achieving high throughput by leveraging object-level ownership and out-of-order execution.
5. Applicable scenarios:
- Apt: May be more suitable for complex DeFi applications.
- Sui: May perform better when handling a large number of simple, fast transactions.
Although both use the Move programming language and originate from the Diem project, they have obvious differences in technical implementation and target application scenarios.
