a controversial kick -off
The Layer 1 Blockchain network aims to compete with Solana and Cardano. It is based on the programming language Move, a rust-centered programming language. Two members of the DIEM leadership team from Meta, Mo Shaikh and Avery Ching are behind the decentralized version of the abandoned blockchain project.
aptos started his Mainnet last October, after receiving a number of capital injections from a number of risk capital companies such as Parafi, Andreessen Horowitz (A16Z), FTX and Multicooin Capital. Binance later also made a strategic investment to boost the ecosystem.
But the unveiling was not without challenges. Before the start of the Minnette, Aptos had astonishing 130,000 transactions per second (TPS). However, it was reported that a start of a transaction speed of seven TPS has less than the Bitcoin blockchain per second.
