PALO ALTO, California, November 21st, 2024/Chainwire/--Aptos Foundation today announced the upcoming integration of Circle’s native USDC and Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) on the Aptos Network, as well as Stripe adding support for Aptos in its crypto products. These integrations make Aptos the home for interoperable DeFi and the fastest, cheapest, and most reliable enterprise-grade blockchain, further expanding its global financial ecosystem. The integration of Aptos into Stripe’s crypto onramp and payouts products, paired with native USDC, will provide reliable fiat on and off-ramps for the Aptos network, streamline merchant pay-ins and payouts, and offer a seamless connection between traditional finance and blockchain technology. Today, USDC is the largest regulated dollar-backed stablecoin with over $37B in circulation. With more than $160M in circulation on Aptos, bridged USDC is the most prevalent stablecoin available on the network. With this integration, native USDC will be issued through the regulated entities of Circle directly on the Aptos network and CCTP will enable developers to design cross-chain experiences by connecting their Aptos apps to the network of supported blockchains. Bridge providers such as Stargate, built on LayerZero, will provide a smooth transition from the existing bridged USDC on Aptos to native USDC over time. There are no immediate changes to the AptosBridge built on LayerZero, and it will continue to operate as normal. Additionally, ahead of the native launch of USDC, bridged USDC from the AptosBridge will be renamed to “lzUSDC” on block explorers. There will be outreach to ecosystem apps to encourage them to make the same change in their app UI and documentation. The launch of CCTP will bring new levels of interoperability to DeFi on Aptos, enabling secure and efficient native USDC transfers. With the addition of Aptos, CCTP will support nine blockchains - including Arbitrum, Base, Ethereum, and Solana —and 72 routes with 1:1 capital efficiency. This move will allow for seamless cross-chain onboarding, swaps, purchases, treasury rebalancing, and more – all while maintaining an accessible and intuitive user experience. With the addition of Aptos to Stripe’s crypto products, users will be able to seamlessly convert fiat currencies into USDC, directly through Aptos-enabled wallets. This integration will enable the use of USDC for Stripe's global network of businesses. The combination of Stripe's payment tools and Aptos’ scalable network unlocks new opportunities for global merchants and payment providers to process transactions faster, more securely, and at lower costs. “Adding support for the Aptos blockchain inside our crypto products broadens consumer and merchant access to more efficient global fund flows with stablecoins; whether it be a retailer accepting payments from around the world, or a platform paying creators no matter where they are,” said John Egan, Head of Crypto at Stripe. “This collaboration brings Stripe's global network together with the power of the Aptos blockchain, opening new avenues for both merchants and consumers to access efficient, stablecoin-based payments.” “The DeFi ecosystem on Aptos has grown to five times its original size in the past year alone, and it’s clear why,” said Nikhil Chandhok, Chief Product Officer at Circle. “Aptos has emerged as a highly efficient way to move money across the globe. The arrival of native USDC and CCTP will only enhance this, and further the vision we share with the Aptos Foundation team of a future where secure digital dollars create a more accessible economy for everyone.” “USDC and CCTP are the gold standards in DeFi, and Stripe is among the most trusted names in financial infrastructure,” said Bashar Lazaar, Head of Grants and Ecosystem at Aptos Foundation. “Circle and Stripe’s integration of Aptos moves the needle in creating a more accessible, secure, and decentralized future of finance. We’re all looking forward to this integration, and are eager to see what the incredible builders in the Aptos ecosystem make possible with this powerful new technology in their toolkit.” “Aptos makes the globally connected economy accessible to everyone by simplifying the movement of economic value,” said Mo Shaikh, CEO of Aptos Labs, which provided technical expertise for the integrations. “I’m looking forward to seeing Aptos becoming a unifying force in the global economy, providing infrastructure that enhances payment efficiency while bringing the peer-to-peer money movement to life for its ecosystem and builders.” For more information about Aptos Foundation and DeFi on Aptos, visit: https://aptosfoundation.org/ecosystem/projects/defi.

dWallet Network, a pioneer in native multi-chain technology, has announced its expansion onto the Aptos blockchain. This move introduces Zero Trust Protocols (ZTPs) to the DeFi and gaming sectors within Aptos, enhancing multi-chain interactions without the need for traditional bridging or wrapping methods. By leveraging dWallet's Zero Trust architecture, these protocols will allow for transactions across major blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum, directly from the Aptos platform. Aptos is recognized for its advanced, high-performance blockchain infrastructure, characterized by high throughput, low latency, and low transaction costs, thanks to its use of the Move smart contract language. This language provides a secure environment for developers to build complex applications. With the integration of dWallet Network, developers on Aptos can now create ZTPs that support decentralized, non-collusive wallet operations, facilitating seamless multi-chain exchanges across the Web3 landscape. This capability is pivotal for DeFi applications on Aptos, which can now natively include BTC and ETH transactions, a significant step forward in blockchain interoperability and functionality. The technological underpinning of dWallet Network involves the use of 2PC-MPC, an innovative threshold cryptography protocol. This method allows for the generation of ECDSA signatures in a non-collusive manner, requiring actions from both the end-user and multiple validators, which could number in the hundreds. This approach enhances the security and decentralization aspects of handling cryptographic operations, crucial for maintaining the integrity and trustlessness of the blockchain operations. The collaboration between dWallet Network and Aptos represents a groundbreaking development in the blockchain space, particularly for the DeFi and gaming ecosystems. The ability to conduct secure, native transactions across multiple chains without the additional steps of bridging or wrapping assets is a notable innovation. This not only simplifies transactions but also significantly reduces the potential risks and points of failure associated with cross-chain operations. However, the widespread adoption and success of these innovations will depend on the robustness of the underlying technologies and the willingness of other platforms to integrate similar systems. The move towards a more interconnected and flexible blockchain infrastructure is promising, but it also requires a shift in how developers and users perceive and interact with blockchain technologies. Final Thoughts The integration of dWallet Network's Zero Trust architecture with the Aptos blockchain could potentially set a new standard for security and interoperability in the blockchain industry. This initiative is likely to encourage further innovations and might accelerate the adoption of blockchain technology in mainstream applications. As the sector evolves, the focus will likely remain on enhancing user trust and security while maintaining the decentralized ethos that is central to blockchain technology.

Aptos Role in the Decentralized Infrastructure The founders of Aptos Labs, Mo Shaikh and Avery Ching, started the company with the goal of making networks easier to use and giving more people access to the benefits of decentralization. The company has gotten a lot of money from trustworthy investors, which shows that it is serious about making a blockchain setting that is easy to use and works well. In order to adapt and improve speed while also offering user protections, Aptos, a next-generation Layer 1 blockchain, makes use of ground-breaking technologies and the Move programming language. This new invention represents a significant step forward in the process of combining blockchain technology with artificial intelligence, with the ultimate goal of redefining the technological environment. Exploring the capabilities of BC8.ai on the Aptos network io.net, a company that specializes in decentralized GPU processing, has partnered with Aptos Labs to expand its operations on Aptos. This alliance aims to decentralize access to the essential components of artificial intelligence (AI) by lowering computing costs and storage requirements, making machine learning more accessible and affordable. As a consequence of this collaboration, io.net's artificial intelligence (AI) products and innovations will benefit from Aptos' safety, speed, and performance capabilities. Currently, the generative artificial intelligence system known as BC8.ai, which is a product of io.net, is operating on the Aptos network and is responsible for managing more than 500,000 transactions each and every day. It is clear from this that the network is able to satisfy the requirements for high-speed and high-volume artificial intelligence. Ahmad Shadid, the Chief Executive Officer of Io.net, has underlined the necessity for a blockchain partner such as Aptos to support the firm's rising scale of innovation. This is especially important as BC8.ai and other future inference products continue to develop.

Aptos Role in the Decentralized Infrastructure Aptos Role in the Decentralized Infrastructure The founders of Aptos Labs, Mo Shaikh and Avery Ching, started the company with the goal of making networks easier to use and giving more people access to the benefits of decentralization. The company has gotten a lot of money from trustworthy investors, which shows that it is serious about making a blockchain setting that is easy to use and works well. In order to adapt and improve speed while also offering user protections, Aptos, a next-generation Layer 1 blockchain, makes use of ground-breaking technologies and the Move programming language. This new invention represents a significant step forward in the process of combining blockchain technology with artificial intelligence, with the ultimate goal of redefining the technological environment. Exploring the capabilities of BC8.ai on the Aptos network io.net, a company that specializes in decentralized GPU processing, has partnered with Aptos Labs to expand its operations on Aptos. This alliance aims to decentralize access to the essential components of artificial intelligence (AI) by lowering computing costs and storage requirements, making machine learning more accessible and affordable. As a consequence of this collaboration, io.net's artificial intelligence (AI) products and innovations will benefit from Aptos' safety, speed, and performance capabilities. Currently, the generative artificial intelligence system known as BC8.ai, which is a product of io.net, is operating on the Aptos network and is responsible for managing more than 500,000 transactions each and every day. It is clear from this that the network is able to satisfy the requirements for high-speed and high-volume artificial intelligence. Ahmad Shadid, the Chief Executive Officer of Io.net, has underlined the necessity for a blockchain partner such as Aptos to support the firm's rising scale of innovation. This is especially important as BC8.ai and other future inference products continue to develop. If io.net and Aptos Labs decide to collaborate in the future, they will focus on developing a collection of artificial intelligence models and inference products that are designed to make use of the Aptos network for the purpose of making payments. This will further facilitate the accessibility of technologies that use artificial intelligence.

Note: a SWOT analysis is an evaluation of the fundamental, operational, technical, social, economic, and even to some degree administrative elements of a project. This is not a model to be used for trading purposes. (NFA, DYOR) Composed of four elements, Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats, a SWOT analysis framework provides excellent insight for establishing a high-level understanding of the state of a project's well-being through the lens of a birds-eye view. It can help formulate decisions around which areas require more attention, set performance goals, and organize a foundational understanding of where a project is headed. Rarely (if ever) used in crypto, it is time to apply this timeless method of evaluation to the digital asset space. Today, , the alternative, new generation layer one born from the ashes of Meta's DIEM, will get a SWOT. Aptos (APT) 💪 Strengths (Internal) (Helpful) 1. Flywheel of Innovation Aptos is consolidating the best of all worlds by applying some of the most cutting-edge designs across every element of the project. From governance optimizations that allow delegating actors the right to post independent votes, transactional optimizations separating gas payers and transaction senders, allowing sponsored/subsidized activity, functional optimizations splitting consensus away from data dissemination, improving efficiency, alongside the MOVE language, MOVEVM, AptosBFTv4, Block STM, and an ever-expanding set of AIP (Aptos Improvement Proposals), the project is in a neverending cycle of self-improvement. Obviously, many projects can lay claim to their innovations, but the reasoning behind why this is highlighted for Aptos specifically has to do with how openly available all of the information is and how relatively easily it can be accessed. 2. Derived from Meta Aptos is the result of the research and development conducted by (formerly Facebook) during their attempt to launch the cryptocurrency projects Diem and Novi. After the regulatory heat against Meta became too difficult to deal with, the infrastructure was spun off into Aptos. Inheriting all of the knowledge, corporate support, and intellectual capital, Aptos was able to raise a cool USD 400 million in 2022 on the back of its reputation/merits. Having the notoriety and prestige of association with Meta gives Aptos potentially unlimited capacity for fundraising and networking. Moreover, given the extent of private deals that take place in crypto land, it is not impossible to rule out some kind of shadowy/indirect affiliation between Meta and Aptos. Meta 3. MOVE Programming Language Originally developed by Meta for its Diem crypto project, MOVE is a functional language based on , which has become one of the most promising up-and-coming languages in the Web3 space. Avidly explored by new-generation teams today, including SUI, there is an entire ecosystem of projects now contributing to the progression and growth of MOVE. By leveraging MOVE for its architecture Aptos is building an army of powerful, specialty engineers and distinguishing itself from nearly every other project. Moreover, if the primitives that MOVE provides truly result in a user/developer experience that penetrates the mass markets, Aptos would be the thought leader in the space whom everybody else would refer to. RUST 4. Intuitive Learning Modules Developer onboarding has by far been the most critical bottleneck facing Web3 as a whole. New virtual machines, data structure, and logic already present an intellectual hurdle for devs to conquer; the onslaught of new languages has only further muddied the waters and made it that much less appealing for new programmers. Perhaps due to their experience and understanding of the Web2 world, Aptos has provided not just excellent documentation of its information but has gone beyond with tutorials in a highly comprehensive, inviting format. By reducing the friction associated with the Web3 learning curve, Aptos becomes a desirable place for new Developers to arrive. 5. Decent Decentralization With over 125 validators currently active and a Nakamoto coefficient ranging from 15–17, Aptos deserves credit for achieving a notable level of decentralization, given how still young the project is. The decentralization is achieved through coordinated efforts between early-stage participants with locked tokens and a lot of delegating power and the Aptos foundation itself, diligently spreading their votes to maximally optimize for a more even distribution. This movement (no pun intended) is counterintuitive to the centralized-overlord image many degens paint about Aptos; even if the current levels of decentralization stay steady, Aptos would be more decentralized (at the validator level) than the vast majority of the projects on the first 10 pages of CoinMarketCap. 6. Staking Ratio Over >83% Of the roughly 1,070,000,000 APT tokens in existence, there are 892,118,332 APT tokens, or just over ~83.37%, currently staked. While the caveat here is that the locked tokens belonging to early-stage investors are also staked, that remains among the highest of any tier-one staking crypto project. At this level, the staking ratio becomes a leading correlational (delayed) indicator that can be used to gauge the macro state of the network at a given moment. Based on how this metric fluctuates over time, it becomes possible to evaluate the level of conviction of the current stakeholder set and even model how the supply will flow. The most exciting change to observe will be how the unlocks impact it. 😞 Weaknesses (Internal) (Harmful) 1. Vicious APT Unlocks Upcoming Starting in December of 2023, the rate of "genesis" tokens (those allocated to early participants) coming into circulating supply will increase, set to double the total supply in 2024 alone. With roughly 300 million tokens (~30%) already in circulation, the relative amount of new tokens making their way into the marketplace will potentially result in suppressed prices during upcoming rallies as earlier investors look to offload their positions. 2. Locked Supply Staking Aptos allows for the tokens that are locked away to be staked. The tokens earned are immediately liquid, creating a conflicting set of interests between user groups. The motivation behind such a decision is understandable: to entice early-stage participants with all the more economic incentives; however, allowing for this to take place creates a closed environment where only deep-pocketed, resourceful participants amplify their control over the network. Given how disproportionately large the amount of locked tokens being staked versus free-floating tokens is, the locked staking supply makes Aptos a "Rich get Richer System." 3. Low Stablecoin Interest Stablecoins are a direct expression of a network's retail/commercial adoption. Coming in sub $50 million (USDC dominating >75% of the stable supply) and the presence of just a single project currently working within the Stablecoin segment, that is Thala with the MOD (Move Dollar), Aptos is very behind on this front. 🧐 Opportunities (External) (Helpful) 1. Pipeline of Megalodon Partners Already locked in a deal with Microsoft that brings Aptos Move to the GitHub Co-Pilot and the Microsoft AI to the Aptos community. With its strong emphasis on gaming and NFTs, Aptos has been able to secure a multitude of partnerships with prominent organizations around the world, including NeoWiz, Marblex, Lotte Group, and others. Outside of gaming, areas such as ticketing with KYD Labs and collectible community Art with NBCUniversal have also caught some recognition. Moving forward, it seems that the pace of new partnerships and their significance will only continue to increase. 2. Chingari Application Integration Ranked third by gross income and boasting over 100 million downloads from the Google app store, Chingari is considered to be one of the underdogs on the Web2 social media scene. Integrating Aptos sometime in the second half of 2023, Chingari empowered users with the ability to mint and transact in Aptos native digital assets. This single application, with its limited utilities and limited audience awareness, resulted in a quadrupling of on-chain activity. 3. Synergies with Eastern APAC Region The eastern APAC (Asia Pacific) region is a massive, developing market that has just begun to enter the crypto economy. Countries such as China, Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, etc., are home to highly digitized societies with a historical inclination towards gambling as a vehicle to escape their economic circumstances. Aptos has been putting forth much more effort to win the hearts of the APAC communities while the US has been stuck in regulatory limbo. If the next crypto cycle is led by non-US countries, Aptos is positioned well to capture that influx. 4. DEFI Growth Sitting at around ~80 million USD in TVL across its DEFI platforms, Aptos has a tremendous runway for new capital. Both legacy DEFI projects as well as newly built ones, stand to benefit from extending services to the Aptos Network. The lower the starting point, the greater the impact of inflows; moving TVL from ~80m to ~380m is a 375% increase, and moving it from ~380m to ~680m is 79%. 5. Integrations with External OG Protocols Alternative networks (including Ethereum, Solana, Binance, and others) have already established superiority in the degree of applications built on them. Meanwhile, Aptos is still severely behind in terms of the number of protocols in its ecosystem; there are still no EVM projects on Aptos, but SushiSwap has already announced its intentions to become the first one. 😳 Threats (External) (Harmful) 1. Layer 1 Competition Layer 1's are easily the most contended sectors of the crypto economy. Their foundational nature to the establishment of a digital financial system has attracted competition from the world's brightest and best-funded teams around the world. Putting Ethereum aside, there has been an onslaught of new generation Layer 1's, from Solana to Near to SEI, SUI, and beyond, that provide superior technological capabilities over the preceding generation projects. Moving forward, the competition that Aptos faces will continue to become more sophisticated, forcing the project to stay at the bleeding edge (or become the focal point) in order to remain relevant. Takeaway: Aptos is a serious force to be reckoned with. Positioning itself as a very smooth, no-hype, no BS, technologically heavy project, Aptos is building a professional environment catering to a unique culture. Not wasting its resources trying to battle other communities, Aptos moves forward with big, peaceful, focused strides. Conclusion: There was a lot not mentioned in this coverage, including the suave, quixotic images and qualities of technical cofounders Mo Shaikh and Avery Ching. The deep ties to Venture Capital. The social strategy. The Supply policy. Perpetual Supply inflation is an element that is economically impossible to ignore, and Aptos has it. Usually, this would be deeply scrutinized; however, at a modest 7% tapering off to 1.5% by 2032 and a minuscule burning mechanism applied to all transaction fees, this seems to be a more balanced long-term approach. In the middle of experiencing its first full cycle in crypto, The nascency of Aptos holds much promise for future waves of projects that grow the ecosystem with retroactive airdrops, potentially resulting in recursive wealth effects that spill over into the token. Thank you so much for reading, I hope this serves you well on your journey. Live long and prosper 🥂 Also published here.

The Aptos (APT) SWOT Analysis

Everscale — A Fifth-Generation Blockchain The crypto industry has already been with us for a while, and innovations are inevitably moving to the corporate and government sectors. With the , blockchain technology is going far beyond DeFi and NFTs. increased demand for remittance payment systems and integrations with central banks and governments However, with all of the variety of multichain ecosystems, there is huge demand from the corporate world to have a decentralized, scalable (estimated amount of transactions in an average country including massive peaks of usage) in a trustless way with low latency and high security. solution capable of performing fifty or one hundred thousand transactions per second , . At the same time, the Aptos mainnet was launched recently, and we’d like to dive deeper into the technical details and consider the theoretical and practical performance of the network. Those are the capabilities of a fifth-generation blockchain which is what Everscale is Aptos Is Not a Blockchain in the Classic Sense To put it simply, Aptos is a product of an acceleration of a single (one-shard) blockchain. In fact, Aptos doesn’t have any blocks. Instead, there is a sequential processing of incoming messages that consistently changes the state on all nodes. That’s how finality on Aptos can be described. Broadly speaking, Aptos is a finality algorithm rather than a classic blockchain. How Does It Work? The finality is divided into separate stages. The network receives messages and sorts them. After that, all validators receive the sorted messages and change the state on all nodes. In that way, Aptos is more of a hybrid blockchain than a classic one. That’s because state changes are made not by the propagation of finalized blocks, but by paralleled deterministic finalization on local nodes. There are no blocks in a classical sense. First, incoming messages are sorted out, and all validators come to a consensus in what order it should be applied. Afterward, state changes are being applied, and a consensus with the final state is confirmed in the end. We can compare this with a CPU design. CPUs work in a pretty similar way — there are some commands that can be executed in parallel. CPUs try to predict the upcoming commands, and if a small piece of code doesn’t require the result of a previous code, all these commands can be done in parallel. In other words, compliers optimize software to achieve such parallel execution in CPUs’ computations, and there’s simply no need to put sticks in the wheels and create software that would affect the parallel execution of a CPU. But there is a fundamental difference in a blockchain. In a public chain, it is easy to build types of smart contracts that would affect many accounts and make parallel execution impossible. , as it’s all based on the assumption that nodes cannot alter their behavior during the finalization process and follow the correct algorithm at all finality stages. This design is highly vulnerable for a public chain In a real-time environment, . The architecture and security of any decentralized system are built around the negative assumption that any nodes can be malicious but not more than 50% in total and how we can prevent an attack. it’s impossible to predict the exact behavior of users This is fundamentally important, especially because Aptos’s deterministic predictable approach is the key element in its design. But If someone wanted to spam the network, they would send transactions that affect many accounts in it. Theoretically, using a deep technical analysis, Parallel execution of transactions is possible only from real applications. it’s possible to organize an attack and slow a chain or even halt it. Transactions per Second and the Network’s Speed Block-STM is the core concept of accelerating the blockchain — this approach calculates state changes by executing transactions in parallel with further resolving of write conflicts. Media sources and articles say this approach accelerates Aptos up to 160,000 transactions per second. However, according to , modeling and tests show the Aptos whitepaper only 8–16 times acceleration compared to sequential transaction processing, which is in reality 200–500 transactions per second (general transactions from real applications but not specialized small or artificial transactions) for any single chain as practice shows. Even if we consider the maximum values (500 x 16 = 8,000 transactions per second), (up to 15,000 tps on each workchain) that’s achieved by multithreaded computations. this is far from even one workchain performance on Everscale Scaling of a Blockchain Everscale can be scaled infinitely by adding more validators and workchains. That’s why our architecture allows us to scale on demand when it requires more computations. This design can also be considered a dynamic sharding. As for Aptos, it’s a single chain . The design simply doesn’t provide for sharding. It’s not clear how it will be implemented with the current architecture. with parallel execution if transactions allow doing so Meanwhile, Everscale is capable of both data and computational sharding and it’s already in production in a real-time environment. Decentralization Speaking of the Aptos chain, all signatures collected are weighted (similar to EOS delegated Proof-of-Stake). That means validators get rewards for staking the maximum amount of tokens. without max factor restrictions, which leads to reducing decentralization The most profitable way is to run a single validator with the maximum stake. This naturally leads to the centralization of the network. Everscale has max factor restrictions. It’s simply not possible to validate with a maximum stake; if a participant wants to earn more rewards for validation, then more validators/nodes are required. Concept of Development on the Aptos Blockchain Aptos has its own programming language Move — inspired by Rust: Move, which is a new smart contract language for the crypto developers community. However, the most popular smart contract language with the big developers’ community is Solidity. For us, it is a controversial decision. A lack of tools and the need to learn a new language is a huge barrier for developers who want to join the Aptos ecosystem. Development on Everscale Why do we need to create a new language and tools for formal verification when we already have a proven one? You can write Everscale smart contracts using the following languages: due to the framework developed by Everscale community members. C, C++, and Solidity, and get almost automated formal verification Summary Aptos can be considered a greatly accelerated single chain, and it is several times faster than a normal non-sharded blockchain. However, any single-chain design eventually has its limits. Regarding the acceleration of a single chain, Aptos developed a finality algorithm based on sequential and parallel processing, but the lead to the slowing of the network and an impasse in terms of substantial growth. A reasonable question arises: impossibility of scaling and the potential wide vector of attacks “Is it a fifth generation blockchain or another attempt to build a better Ethereum?” About the Everscale network Everscale is one of the most technologically advanced blockchain networks, incorporating all of the blockchain innovations and concepts of recent years. Its versatility gives it the potential to become a decentralized hub for lots of blockchains and resource-demanding applications such as GameFi, DeFi, supply chains, etc. Due to its dynamic multithreading and sharding technology, there’s always more room to add new nodes and shards to handle any load — and that’s something that no other blockchain can offer yet. Everscale has powerful developer tools, such as compilers for Solidity and C++, SDK and API, client libraries ported to more than 20 languages and platforms, and a range of decentralized browsers and wallets.

When starting a new project, it’s important to make the right choices about the blockchain and smart contract language. These choices can significantly impact the overall success of your project as well as your success as a developer. web3 In this article, we'll compare three popular smart contract programming languages: Solidity: used in Ethereum and other EVM-based platforms Cadence: used in the Flow blockchain Move: used in the Sui/Aptos blockchain We'll explain the concepts and characteristics of each language in simple terms, making it easier for beginners to understand. Let’s dive in. Solidity: The Foundation of Ethereum Smart Contracts is a high-level, object-oriented language used to build smart contracts in platforms like Ethereum. Initially, Solidity aimed to be user-friendly, attracting developers by resembling JavaScript and simplifying learning. While it still values user-friendliness, its focus has shifted to enhancing security. Currently, Solidity . Solidity has quite a few security pitfalls developers need to be aware of Some Solidity features include: Solidity uses clear, explicit code with a syntax similar to JavaScript, prioritizing ease of understanding for developers. Syntax and Simplicity: Solidity emphasizes secure coding practices and highlights risky constructs like gas usage. Security Focus: The language enforces data type declarations for variables and functions. Statically Typed: Solidity supports features like inheritance, libraries, and complex user-defined types. Inheritance and Libraries: Cadence: Empowering Digital Assets on Flow is designed by Flow, a blockchain known for helping to make web3 mainstream and working with major brands like Disney and the NBA. It ensures secure, clear, and approachable smart contract development. Cadence Some Cadence features include: The language enforces strict type-checking to prevent common errors. Type Safety: **Resource-oriented Programming:**Resources are unique types that can only move between accounts. They can’t be copied or discarded. If a function fails to store a Resource obtained from an account in the function scope during development, then semantic checks will show an error. The run-time enforces the same rules in terms of allowed operations. Contract functions that don’t handle Resources properly in scope before exiting will stop. These Resource features make them perfect for representing both fungible and non-fungible tokens. Ownership is tracked according to where they are stored, and the assets can’t be duplicated or lost since the language enforces correctness. If one person wants to access another person's stored items, the first person needs a permission called a . Using Capabilities allows you to let others access your stored items remotely. There are two types of Capabilities: public and private. If someone wants to allow everyone to access their items, they can share a public Capability. For example, an account can use a public Capability to accept tokens from anyone. On the other hand, someone can give private Capabilities to certain people, allowing them to access only certain features. For example, in a project with unique digital items, the project owner might grant an "administrator Capability" that lets those users create new items. Capability-based Security: Capability Functions have predefined conditions for safer execution. Built-in Pre- and Post-Conditions: Cadence's focus on resource-oriented programming makes it ideal for managing digital assets in areas such as onchain games. Optimized for Digital Assets: To grasp the importance of these new ideas, let's take a quick look at some history. In 2018, the Dapper Labs team began working on Cadence as a new programming language. They faced challenges with Solidity because of its limitations. The main frustration in building decentralized apps came from the way contracts were accessed using addresses, making it difficult to combine contracts. Freedom from msg.sender: Composability in Web3 Now, imagine contracts as Lego building blocks. Composability in web3 means one contract can be used as a foundation for others, adding their features together. For instance, if a contract records game results on a blockchain, another contract can be built to show the best players. Another one could go even further and use past game results to predict future game odds for betting. But here's the catch: Because of how Solidity works, contracts can only talk to one another if the first contract has permission to access the second one, even if users can access both. In Solidity, who can do what is controlled by protected functions in contracts. This means contracts know and check who is trying to access their protected areas. Cadence changes how access works. Instead of using the old way where contracts need permission, it uses Capabilities. When you have a Capability, you can use it to get to a protected item such as a function or resource. This means the contract no longer has to define who's allowed access. You can only get to the protected item if you have a Capability, which you can use with "borrow()." So, the old "msg.sender" way isn't needed anymore! The effects of composability are important. When contracts don't need to know beforehand who they're interacting with, users can easily interact with multiple contracts and their functions during a transaction if they have the right permissions (Capabilities). This also allows contracts to interact with one another directly without needing special permissions or preparations. The only condition is that the calling contract must have the required Capabilities. Move: Safeguarding Digital Assets on Sui/Aptos , used in the , addresses challenges posed by established languages like Solidity. It ensures scarcity and access control for digital assets. Move Sui/Aptos blockchain Move’s features include: : Move prevents the creation or use of assets more than once, ensuring robust blockchain applications. Preventing Double-spending : Developers have precise control over ownership and associated rights. Ownership and Rights Control : In Move, a smart contract is called a module, emphasizing modularity and organization. Module Structure : Move employs static analysis to reject invalid bytecode, enhancing security. Bytecode Verifier : Move includes a standard library for common transaction scripts. Standard Library Creating Smart Contracts Let's illustrate the differences by comparing a simple smart contract that increments a value in Cadence, Solidity, and Move. Solidity Example In Solidity, creating a contract that increments a value involves defining a contract, specifying the count variable, and creating functions to manipulate it. It uses explicit syntax for variable visibility and function declarations. // SPDC-License-Identifier: MIT pragma solidity ^0.8.17; contract Counter { uint public count; // function to get the current count function get() public view returns (uint) { return count; } // function to increment count by 1 function inc() public { count += 1; } // function to decrement count by 1 function dec() public { count -=1; } } Cadence Example Cadence's approach to incrementing a value is similar but emphasizes clarity. It utilizes a resource-oriented structure and straightforward syntax, making it easier for developers to create and manage digital assets. pub contract Counter { pub var count: Int // function to increment count by 1 pub fun increment() { self.count = self.count +1 } // function to decrement count by 1 pub fun decrement() { self.count = self.count – 1 } pub fun get(): Int { return self.count } init() { self.count = 0 } } Solidity versus Cadence Syntax Differences In Solidity, the visibility keyword comes before or after variable/function names, whereas Cadence consistently follows the visibility-type-name sequence. Scalability and Upgradability Flow's network boasts higher transaction throughput than Ethereum, making Cadence more scalable. Additionally, Flow's support for contract updates enhances development. Move Example Move introduces new concepts like modules, resources, and ownership control. A Move module creates an Incrementer resource, requiring the owner's signature for operations. module incrementer_addr::increment {

 

use aptos_framework::account;

use std::signer;

       struct Incrementer has key {

                  count: u64,

       }

 

       public entry fun increment(account: &signer) acquires Incrementer {

                  let signer_address = signer::address_of(account);

                  let c_ref = &mut borrow_global_mut<Incrementer>(signer_address).count;

                  *c_ref = *c_ref +1

       }

 

 public entry fun create_incrementer(account: &signer){

       let incrementer = Incrementer {

                  count: 0

       };

       move_to(account, incrementer);

} Composite Types and Turing Completeness All three languages support composite types, allowing complex types from simpler ones. All are Turing complete, meaning they can handle any computation given enough resources. Resource-Oriented versus Object-Oriented While Solidity and Move require compilation, Cadence is interpreted. Cadence and Move employ a resource-oriented approach, securing digital ownership in one location. Conclusion: Choosing the Right Programming Language When selecting a programming language like Solidity, Cadence, or Move, consider the needs of your project. Solidity is commonly used, but it might not be very easy to work with. Developers need to be careful of the security pitfalls and understand best practices. Solidity: Mainly used for digital assets, Cadence is a newer language that focuses on security, is easy to understand, and provides developers with a superior experience. Cadence: Move is , a more complex language. Rust can be more difficult to learn and understand. Move is a new language, and it doesn't have many tools, resources, or a big community. Move: based on Rust Ultimately, your choice will impact your project's success, so make an informed decision and enjoy your ! journey as a web3 developer Also published . here
