  Aptos is a Move-based Layer 1 blockchain platform that exposes a REST API for reading on-chain
  state and submitting transactions, a GraphQL Indexer API for high-level queries over processed
  blockchain data (NFTs, objects, custom Move contracts), and a gRPC Transaction Stream for
  real-time and historical event feeds. Public endpoints are provided by Aptos Labs for mainnet,
  testnet, and devnet; enhanced rate limits are available through Geomi (formerly Aptos Labs
  Developer Portal).
