Aptos and Sui public chains are rapidly gaining attention, and the upcoming Movement is also showing significant growth on the test network. All three chains use the Move language, but what are the real differences between them? Let’s take a closer look.
Aptos and Movement are both linear blockchains, meaning that blocks are sequentially arranged and the state is gradually updated through batch processing of transactions. On the other hand, Sui employs a DAG structure, which is like an interconnected node network that allows transactions to independently achieve consensus, ensuring high throughput.
All chains use some form of Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) consensus protocol. AptosBFT increases efficiency by allowing nodes to communicate only with the leader (rotation through voting). Sui’s Mysticeti allows a single validator to sign blocks and appoint multiple leaders, enabling more transactions to be submitted per block. Movement uses Avalanche’s Snowman consensus mechanism, which requires the agreement of a majority of the validator sample set and introduces delays in decision conflicts.
These mechanisms affect the chain’s TTF (the time it takes for a transaction signal to go from broadcast to the final state). Sui’s average TTF is around 0.5 seconds, making it the fastest.
All chains use parallel execution to support simultaneous processing of non-conflicting transactions. Aptos and Movement use the Block-STM optimistic parallel execution engine, assuming that all transactions can be executed in parallel and re-executing in case of erroneous transactions. Sui uses a state access method that sorts transactions based on transaction objects, ensuring that transactions can be executed without conflicts after successful validation by the validator.
As a result, Sui is able to process transactions more efficiently without the need for re-execution, reducing hardware load to increase TPS.
Aptos has been running for a long time and has more ecosystem projects compared to Sui and Movement. All chains have done a lot of solid work in supporting and funding builder programs, which may bring significant growth in the coming months.
In conclusion, DWF Investment believes that the Move ecosystem will continue to grow rapidly, and we are excited to see further developments. Projects built within the Move ecosystem can contact us at any time.
