Start with the basics

Whether you're exploring Move for the first time or building your first full-stack dApp, these hands-on guides help you get started with confidence.

Your First Move Module

Learn the basics of Move by publishing a smart contract that stores messages on-chain. You’ll compile, test, and deploy your first module using the Aptos CLI.

Your First Dapp

Go full stack with Aptos. This guided tutorial walks you through creating a smart contract, connecting it to a frontend, and interacting with your app using a wallet.

Query on-chain data

Learn how to fetch balances, NFTs, and transaction history using the Aptos Indexer and TypeScript SDK. Build features that connect your app to what’s happening on-chain.

Sample Indexer Queries

Explore ready-made GraphQL queries for pulling real-time on-chain data using the Aptos Indexer API.

Fetch Data via TypeScript SDK

Use the Aptos TypeScript SDK to programmatically access account data, transaction history, and more in your app.
