  • Parallel Processing Execution: Aptos employs a parallel data model and execution engine to improve execution efficiency.
  • AptosBFT Consensus: Aptos uses a variant of the Byzantine fault tolerance consensus mechanism, enhancing the overall efficiency of the network​.

What is it used for?

The APT token is primarily used for:

  • Network Fees: APT is used to pay for transaction fees on the network.
  • Validator Staking: APT is staked by validators to participate in the DPoS network consensus.
  • Governance: APT token holders can participate in on-chain community governance, contributing to the direction and development of the Aptos project​.

Who created it?
