Solana ➡️ Aptos: Developer Guide to Getting Started

🌐 Aptos and Solana are both high-performance, low-fee blockchains with similarities in account concepts and design decisions. While many elements of Move will be quite intuitive for a Rust user, the developer experience can be quite different. Let's dive into it!

📜 A Quick Overview:
1️⃣ Rust vs Move: Compared to Rust, Move is specifically designed for smart contracts. This means a smoother, less choppy experience.
2️⃣ Optimistic vs Pessimistic parallelism: Unlike Solana, Aptos does not require developers to explicitly declare all the accounts that will be written to. The runtime will automatically detect the accounts that are written to on the fly.
3️⃣ Manual state rent abstraction: On Solana, developers are required to actively manage and calculate the necessary balance for state rent exemption. Aptos abstracts this away.

Developers can enjoy the Move on Aptos Advantage:
✅ Code like a single-threaded program and execute with full parallelism
✅ Just write the business logic. APT for state rent will be automatically included as part of the transaction fee
