Aptos blockchain is a distributed ledger technology that operates in a decentralized manner. The Aptos blockchain aims to offer a secure and scalable platform.

Notably, the blockchain employs a consensus mechanism known as “Proof of Identity” (PoI) to reach consensus. Compared to other consensus mechanisms, such as Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS), PoI is more energy-efficient and secure.

Over the past 30 days, the network has seen more than 10,000 active addresses, with the number currently standing at over 18,000. Furthermore, Aptos scan reported that the network had over 3.3 million unique addresses registered.
