Aptos is a Layer 1 blockchain that uses a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism and the Move programming language. Its architecture combines parallel transaction execution, validator-based consensus, and modular software design to support on-chain applications. Block-STM is a key component of its execution model, enabling transactions to be processed concurrently when dependencies and execution conditions permit.
