Solana developers have been frustrated on its network, and are exploring moving over to Aptos, which is one of the most anticipated Layer 1 launches. The blockchain, founded by former Meta employees, has also attracted the attention of FTX Ventures, which led a $150 million raise for Aptos in July. Aptos has had its first transactions on mainnet, although they are mostly maintenance messages by validators. User transactions are expected to begin on Oct. 18. Aptos originated from the Facebook blockchain initiative Libra. The most talked about aspect of Aptos compared to other blockchains is its Move coding language, which is supposedly more developer-friendly and offers safeguards for asset management.
