#Aptos is a new L1 that is faster, more secure, and more scalable.

Built by former Meta (Facebook) engineers, who also developed the Move language for this blockchain.

Is launching their mainnet in few weeks with huge expectation around it.

3/ Technical Features

- Concensus Mechanism: AptosBFT Proof-of-Stake.
- Performance: Up to 160,000 TPS.
- Programming language: Move.
- Blockchain engine: Block-STM parallel execution to handle multiple transactions at once.
- Immutability & Safety: The chain can't be forked. Image
4/ Goal

@AptosLabs is focused on delivering the safest and most production-ready Layer 1 blockchain in the world for mass adoption of web3.
5/ Problem Solving

Most of L1 are struggling with scalability causing a poor network performance, delivering a bad experience to the user: outages, high fees, low speeds,...
The ones that try to solve scalability issue they end up leaving security behind.
6/
#Aptos stands for a fast form of concensus but at the same time reinforces the security with a more secure coding language getting a fast, cheap and secure blockchain.
7/ Innovation

- Lowest latency, optimistically-responsive BFT protocol.
- Robust, on-chain reputation system.
- Novel methods for parallel execution — a key enabler of speed at scale.
- Use of Move, a safe and reliable language.
8/ Backers/Investors

Aptos accepted its first big set of investments in March 2022.
Several large venture capital groups, including a16z Crypto, Multicoin Capital, Hashed, Tiger Global, Three Arrows Capital, FTX Ventures and Coinbase Ventures contributed a total of $200 million.
9/
Aptos then went on to receive another $150 million in June from FTX Ventures and Jump Crypto.

Impressing funding to be honest for a project just announced this year and taking into account the market situation. Image
10/
🔹Roadmap:
Surprisingly no public roadmap being released yet.

🔹Tokenomics:
No tokenomics info been released yet.
11/ Upsides

- Low fees
- Scalability
- Security
- Experienced, reputable founders
- Backed by "big guys"
12/ Downsides

- Not EVM compatible
- Oversaturated market niche of L1s
- VCs in presale
- No public roadmap / tokenomics
- Questionable transparency
13/ Ecosystem

#Aptos has a prolific fast growing ecosystem, from DeFi to NFTs there is a vast list of projects warming up and ready to deploy on Aptos from day 1.

#Aptos aims to be the fastest and safest blockchain once is launched in few weeks.

- Up to 160,000 TPS.
- Less than 1s time to finality.
- All while keeping ultra high security standards.

Sounds awesome, but...

How will the team from @AptosLabs plan to make this possible? 🧵 Image
1/ Optimistic concurrency control:

Transactions are executed in parallel and then validated; in case of a validation issue, a transaction is aborted and re-executed, and all those that depend on it (higher transactions) are re-validated.
2/ Collaborative scheduling:

A way to schedule transaction execution in a way that no resources are wasted.

Berachain looks to take the cryptosphere by storm bringing a new layer 1 design that has never been tried before.

A unique Proof-of-Liquidity consensus chain that operates around a tri-token structure.

Don't miss out, it's still very early 👀
Introduction to @berachain 🐻⛓️🧵 Image
1/ #Berachain is a Cosmos-SDK built / EVM-compatible blockchain leveraging its unique “Proof-of-Liquidity” consensus to allow users to stake layer 1, bluechip DeFi, and stablecoin assets with Berachain validators.
2/ Integrates a native DEX and Perpetual Exchange that generate revenue from fees that are later distributed to the chain governance-token holders.
