Exploring the technical differences between blockchain projects Aptos and Sui, with a focus on consensus protocols, cryptographic features, and usage of zero knowledge proofs. The discussion includes Aptos' unique capabilities like support for powerful scripts and instant on-chain randomness, as well as challenges in scaling blockchains and advancements in reducing latency.
In this week’s episode, Anna and Nico chat with Alin Tomescu, founding team member and Head of Cryptography at Aptos Labs. They discuss Alin’s journey to Aptos and his work on distributed on-chain randomness as well as the new Aptos Keyless project. They cover the Keyless accounts architecture, how the flow works for the user and some of the subtleties in the approach they have taken.
