In less than 2 years since mainnet launch, Aptos has become the blockchain-of-choice for builders and users alike.

Why? As a secure, scalable and feature-rich Layer-1 blockchain, Aptos delivers the best performance, highest throughput and lowest latency to support builders wanting to bring their next-generation use cases to life. Plus, as the first blockchain to utilize the Move programming language, Aptos offers a key advantage for builders with a dead-simple developer environment.

But don’t take our word for it. Let’s dive into 5 key reasons builders around the globe are choosing Aptos—directly from voices in Aptos’ builder ecosystem.

1. High Performance and Cost Efficiency

Aptos combines low-latency, high-throughput, low gas fees, and sub-second finality—offering an ideal environment for developers seeking speed and efficiency. Projects like SushiSwap note that “fast time to finality, high throughput and low gas costs” are among the reasons why it chose Aptos over other networks.

What’s more, the network's ability to mint 1 million NFTs in just 90 seconds demonstrates its exceptional throughput, while the average transaction cost of approximately 0.00004 APT ensures cost-effectiveness. This combination supports seamless user experiences and operational efficiency, making Aptos ripe for projects like SushiSwap, mirage protocol, Mereo and GemFocus to build scalable decentralized applications.

2. Developer-Friendly Environment with Move

Aptos’ native programming language, Move, is a key advantage for builders. Not only is it easy to get started with Move—thanks to Aptos Dev Docs—Move also provides builders with a secure, efficient and developer-friendly environment to simplify the process of building and integrating new products and use cases on Aptos.

The Aptos ecosystem can also enjoy features at both the language and the framework levels. For example, mempool helps to queue and prioritize transactions under load. Econia CEO and co-founder Alex Kahn says such innovations are “designed from the ground up for sheer performance, in a vertically integrated tech stack that is optimized at every level.”

4. Cost-Effectiveness and Security

Builders appreciate Aptos for its cost-effectiveness and robust security which make it a reliable choice for various applications—from high-volume NFT trading, gaming, DeFi protocols and beyond. Innovations like Move Prover help builders verify Move smart contracts while providing additional safeguards.

Andy Hoang, CEO of Cellana Finance, says his company chose to build on Aptos because of its “rapid transaction speed, cost-effectiveness, and robust security. Moreover, Aptos’s instant finality will be a significant strength in attracting a variety of financial applications from Web 2 in the future.” Meanwhile, projects like Merkle Trade and Echelon have echoed the benefits of Aptos’ built-in speed and security.

Beyond this, Aptos is revolutionizing Web3 adoption with innovations like Passkeys—which eliminates the need for passwords by enabling Touch ID or Face ID login, while Keyless removes traditional private keys in favor of Web2 social sign-ins like Google and Apple. These advancements are critical in transitioning today’s 5 billion internet users to Web3, creating an internet-like ease of access across all Aptos apps.
