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 developerĀ environment.Ā 

But donā€™t take our word for it. Letā€™s dive into 5 key reasons builders around the globe are choosing Aptosā€”directly from voices in Aptosā€™ builderĀ ecosystem.Ā 

1. High Performance and CostĀ Efficiency

Aptos combines low-latency, high-throughput, low gas fees, and sub-second finalityā€”offering an ideal environment for developers seeking speed and efficiency. Projects like SushiSwap note that ā€œfast time to finality, high throughput and low gas costsā€ are among the reasons why it chose Aptos over otherĀ networks.Ā
