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.
Sei is a parallelised Cosmos‑SDK Layer‑1 optimized for order‑book exchanges, using Twin‑Turbo consensus to reach 300–400 ms finality. Its built‑in matching engine lets dApps compose on a shared liquidity layer, and fee markets are denominated in SEI with bulk‑order discounts. The ‘V2’ upgrade adds EVM compatibility via SeiDB and WASM contracts side‑by‑side.
