Aptos is a Layer 1 proof of stake blockchain designed for scalability and rapid evolution. It achieves extremely high throughput and low latency by using a batched, pipelined, and parallelized approach to transaction processing. This allows it to efficiently leverage every hardware resource available to it.
As an APT holder, you can delegate your tokens to a delegation pool. As a proof-of-stake network, tokens are staked to validators in order to secure the network.
When you delegate stake on Aptos, you maintain ownership and control of your APT tokens, and also earn APT rewards on the staked amount. The rewards earned are automatically restaked, auto-compounding your rewards.
