Odaily Planet Daily News Econia Labs Co-founder Alex published a long article discussing the advantages of building applications on Aptos. He said: Aptos focuses on building the best-performing blockchain system, benefiting from substantial funding support from the Diem/Libra project. The Aptos codebase was initially launched under Facebook and later spun off by a group of engineers determined to put it into production as a public chain. Alex mentioned that Move code, BlockSTM, and the Consensus Mechanism are all designed from scratch for pure performance, and have been optimized at every level. Aptos provides atomic settlement guarantees, cleverly leveraging decades of database theory. Cutting-edge features such as arithmetic aggregators push the boundaries of traditional databases, allowing parallel transfers of individual accounts without the need for serial write locks. Aptos foresaw all the scalability bottlenecks that have plagued the industry recently: most of its tech stack was developed before the mainnet launch in 2022. In addition, he mentioned Aptos CTO Avery Ching and CEO. Mo Shaikh provides conceptual guidance and assistance to the ecosystem, and promotes the business development of the project globally, attracting not only the encryption natives but also the future billion users. Alex said that every time he participates in the activity, he can see more and more developers joining the Aptos ecosystem. They may be frustrated by building on other non-scalable blockchains and are not satisfied with existing mediocre system designs. The high throughput and low latency Aptos project has already started, is currently underway, and will continue to launch. He said: Providing network scalability and 99.99% uptime comparable to enterprise-level Web2 services, Aptos may be the first to achieve his vision for the industry's blockchain capabilities: next-generation cloud computing. "He said, 'Because I am not here to promote products on the latest L2 that I know cannot scale, I am here to build the mother of all chains, an all-powerful instant distributed state machine. The Holy Grail is simple yet hard to achieve: globalized DeFi with instant and atomic settlements. Pour all the data into the ocean of data, give me a pointer to the global state, and run at fiber-optic speed. That's all I ask for.'"
