# Get Started

Aptos is the proof-of-stake Layer 1 blockchain utilizing key elements of Diem - the former Meta blockchain and Move, a Rust-based programming language developed by Meta. Aptos aims to build a safe, scalable, and upgradable foundation for Web3. NodeReal provides the Fastest API services and one-stop solution on Aptos and being one of the top Validators. Starting from now, the NodeReal user can create the first Aptos Mainnet/Testnet app and start using REST service on this chain.
