Aptos (APT)

Aptos is a Move-language Layer 1 from former Meta/Diem engineers, built around the Block-STM parallel execution engine for high-throughput transaction processing. September 2026 saw a cluster of updates — a mainnet node release enabling Block-STM v2 by default, a new onchain ticketing platform with Lotte Group affiliate Daehong Communications, and native APT staking going live on South Korea's Bithumb exchange.
