Aptos is a Layer‑1 written in Rust that uses the Move language and AptosBFT v4—a Diem‑derived HotStuff variant—to finalise blocks in less than 1 second. Its Block‑STM executor runs transactions in parallel and abort‑reexecutes on conflict, achieving > 100k TPS in public benchmarks. The 2024 ‘Quorum Store’ upgrade optimised mempool sharding and reduced latency under network partition.
Base is Coinbase's OP-Stack Layer-2 that offers EVM equivalence and native account abstraction. Sequencer revenue is shared back to the Optimism Collective, and Coinbase NFTs plus USDC flows bootstrap early liquidity. The July 2023 mainnet launch attracted projects like Friend.tech and Aerodrome, pushing Base TVL above $1 billion.
