What Is Aptos (APT)?
Aptos is a layer-1 blockchain built by former engineers from Meta's Diem project. It launched its mainnet in 2022 with a focus on safety, scalability and reliability.
APT is the native token of the network. It pays gas fees, is staked by validators to secure the chain and is used in governance.
How Does Aptos Work?

Key Features of APT

- The Move language for safer smart contracts.
- Low fees and fast finality.
- Upgradeable design that supports ongoing improvements.
What Is APT Used For?
