Deep dive into Aptos’ new features
One of the major developments is the introduction of Move Objects, a framework that simplifies resource management across diverse assets.
This allows developers to access and manage heterogeneous assets using global storage independent of accounts, streamlining development complexity and enabling new possibilities in composability, ownership management, multiple resources per account, event tracking, secure permissions, and persistent storage.
The release of Multisig Account v2 offers enhanced functionalities compared to the original multisig account design. By utilizing Multi-ed25519 auth keys, key custody and asset security have been significantly improved, resulting in better treasury management and smart contract administration.
Additionally, the Move library has been expanded with advanced math functions, allowing for increased accuracy in financial calculations and enabling DeFi apps to perform complex operations with greater efficiency.
This enhancement strengthens the foundation for a wide range of financial applications on the Aptos blockchain.
Gas reductions
Gas reductions have also been a significant focus in this release, with Aptos witnessing remarkable improvements in gas efficiency.
With the implementation of AIP-17, 90% of transactions on Aptos are witnessing a 10x or more reduction in gas, while execution gas usage has been lowered by up to 100x.
These improvements not only enhance the overall efficiency of the network but also contribute to a more cost-effective user experience.
Aptos invites the community to share feedback on these innovations and improvements from Move v1.3 and to provide suggestions on how to best support the community with the latest news. The team is already looking ahead to v1.4, promising further exciting developments in the future.
Market conditions and APT token performance
While Aptos introduces new features and enhancements, it’s important to consider the current market conditions. APT, the native token of the Aptos blockchain, has experienced a decline in price over the past 30 days due to the overall bearish market sentiment.

However, the blockchain’s health remains strong, with active development activity and network recovery.
Investors in APT may need to exercise patience as the token’s price enters a low volatility zone, according to Bollinger Bands.
The Money Flow Index (MFI) suggests a downtick in the near term, decreasing the likelihood of an immediate uptrend. Nonetheless, the MACD presents a bullish advantage, indicating the potential for a turnaround in the market.
