Question 3

How to use Aptos RPC?

Accepted Answer

Aptos combines a BFT proof-of-stake consensus mechanism with Block-STM, a parallel transaction-processing engine that optimistically executes transactions simultaneously and re-runs any that conflict. Smart contracts are written in Move, a resource-oriented language designed to prevent common exploits like double-spending or asset duplication. This architecture supports use cases spanning payments, DeFi, tokenized real-world assets, gaming, and AI-driven applications, backed by the nonprofit Aptos Foundation and Aptos Labs.
