Aptos & Move

Build on the Aptos blockchain with the Move language. Covers Move modules and resources, smart contracts, NFTs, and DeFi primitives, plus deploying and testing across devnet, testnet, and mainnet.

This skill makes Claude an Aptos and Move developer. It writes Move modules with resource-oriented safety, models NFTs and DeFi primitives, reasons about Aptos's account and object model, and deploys and tests across devnet, testnet, and mainnet — bringing Move's linear-type guarantees to on-chain code that avoids whole classes of asset bugs.

When to use

Use when building on Aptos, writing Move modules and smart contracts, designing resource and object structures, creating NFTs or DeFi primitives, or deploying and testing Aptos programs across devnet, testnet, and mainnet.

Examples

Write a Move module

Resource-oriented smart contract

Write an Aptos Move module for a staking vault using resources so staked tokens can't be duplicated or lost, with entry functions to stake and unstake

Aptos NFT collection

Model a digital-asset collection

Create a Move module that mints an NFT collection using the Aptos digital asset standard, with royalties and a mint limit per account

Deploy to testnet

Publish and verify a module

Walk me through compiling, testing, and publishing this Move module to Aptos testnet, then calling an entry function against it
