LIVELET'S TALK ABOUT APTOS
What is aptos? Aptos is a Layer 1 Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain that employs a novel smart contract programming language called Move, a Rust-based programming language that was independently developed by Meta (formerly Facebook)’s Diem blockchain engineers.
We will not go through the structure of this product in detail, but will evaluate the work of the Aptos team from the outside. After all, how many promises we have already heard from other developers, but it all remained only on paper.
To begin with, I suggest you to go to the official account on github, where we can immediately see that the number of subscribers of this project is quite trustworthy. At the moment this number is 5k. For example, a project like Solana has 2.6k, and Polkadot has 1.4k. Then note that the work on the project is ongoing without interruption, new changes are made on the repository.
The core of the application is based on the Rust programming language. The Rust programming language was developed by Mozilla and first introduced in 2010. It is considered to be one of the safest and most productive programming languages today.
Aptos is the brainchild of Mo Shaikh and Avery Ching, both former employees of Meta. The duo worked together on the Diem blockchain project at Meta. Shaikh and Ching decided to join forces to create Aptos Labs when the Diem project was discontinued in January 2022. It, therefore, comes as no surprise that Aptos employs some of the technicalities of Diem.
If you liked my material, leave your reaction and I will continue to do short and useful reviews of other interesting projects.
Thank you for your attention.
