Aptos & Nodit: A Deep Dive Interview on Our Exclusive Feature and Strategic Partnership in Asia

With blockchain applications becoming more complex, developers need faster, real-time access to on-chain data to build seamless user experiences. Nodit has taken a significant step in addressing this challenge with the launch of the Aptos Webhook API, the first and only webhook solution in the Aptos ecosystem. To explore the importance of this innovation, we sat down with David Wolinsky, head of engineering from Aptos Labs, who has been instrumental in the engineering and product efforts of the Aptos blockchain.

In this interview, we discussed Aptos' vision for 2025, key technical innovations, and how new solutions like Webhooks are transforming blockchain development.

Aptos in 2025: Faster, More Scalable, and Developer-Friendly

Aptos has rapidly grown into one of the leading Layer 1 blockchains, with its high throughput and scalability making it a preferred choice for developers. Looking ahead to 2025, David shared Aptos' renewed focus on ecosystem growth, aiming to enhance speed, usability, and accessibility across the network.

“We are focusing on making blockchain operations much faster, increasing throughput, and improving developer experience with better tooling and debugging support,” David explained.

Among Aptos’ key initiatives are:

• Improved On-Chain Data Access: Making blockchain data retrieval easier for developers through indexing and real-time updates.
• Sponsored Transactions & Gas Stations: Allowing users to interact with dApps without needing to manually bridge assets or pay gas fees upfront.
• Seamless Interoperability: Enabling users to bring assets from Ethereum, Solana, and other chains into the Aptos ecosystem.

These advancements are set to empower developers by eliminating infrastructure barriers and ensuring a smoother user experience for dApp users.

The Challenge: Accessing Real-Time Blockchain Data

One of the biggest hurdles for developers building on blockchain is retrieving and processing real-time on-chain data efficiently. Traditionally, developers have had to poll APIs continuously to check for updates—an inefficient process that increases latency and costs.

“There was no available push-type data system,” David noted. “Developers had to manually pull and process data, which was time-consuming and resource-intensive.”

Aptos had taken early steps to solve this issue by launching the Aptos Indexer, helping developers manage blockchain data more effectively. However, a real-time event streaming solution was still missing—until now.

The Solution: How Nodit Webhooks can Enhance the Development

To address these data challenges, Aptos has partnered with Nodit to bring Webhooks to the ecosystem—offering developers instant updates on blockchain events without polling APIs.

“With Nodit’s Webhooks, developers can now listen to all events and transactions impacting their dApp in a live stream,” David explained. “This means order books, trading platforms, and NFT marketplaces can receive seamless updates, reducing refresh times and improving user experience.”

The benefits of Webhooks include:

✅ Instant Blockchain Event Notifications – Get notified of transactions, smart contract changes, and wallet activities in real time with versatile filtering options. Customize filters to receive only the events you need, ensuring efficient and targeted real-time updates.

✅ Lower Latency & Reduced Costs – Eliminates the need for continuous polling, cutting down on infrastructure expenses.

✅ Seamless Integration for dApps – Ensures smooth, live updates for DeFi platforms, NFT marketplaces, and high-frequency trading applications.

This marks a significant shift in how developers interact with blockchain data, making Aptos one of the most developer-friendly blockchains.

Who Benefits the Most from Webhooks?

David highlighted several key use cases that would benefit the most from Aptos Webhooks:

• Trading Platforms & DeFi Protocols: Real-time order book updates ensure traders see accurate market data without needing manual refreshes.
• NFT Marketplaces: Buyers and sellers can track listings, bids, and ownership transfers instantly.
•  Gaming & Interactive dApps: Enables low-latency game mechanics that respond to on-chain actions in real time.

“I think trading platforms will see the biggest transformation,” David noted. “With Webhooks, they can provide a more engaging, seamless experience for users.”

By offering real-time updates, Webhooks are unlocking new possibilities for high-performance blockchain applications.

The Role of Nodit in Aptos' Ecosystem

As Aptos expands its developer tools, Nodit plays a key role in bringing low-latency, scalable blockchain infrastructure to Asia and beyond.

“Nodit has been absolutely critical for developers in Asia,” David shared. “By running Aptos indexers and node services, Nodit provides fast and reliable access to blockchain data in the region.”

Nodit’s contributions include:

• Enterprise-Grade Infrastructure: Ensuring high performance and uptime for developers.
• Strategic Indexing & Data Solutions: Running regional services that enhance data reliability.
• Localized Developer Support: Offering real-time assistance to teams building on Aptos.

By working closely with Aptos Labs, Nodit is helping to drive the adoption of Aptos across Web3 applications.

Looking Ahead: What’s Next for Aptos?

As Aptos continues its developer-first approach, the focus will be on:

• Expanding Web3 data infrastructure with faster, more scalable solutions.
• Bringing more developers into Aptos through partnerships, grants, and educational programs.
• Advancing DeFi & trading tools to make Aptos a top platform for on-chain finance.

David also hinted at future innovations, saying:

“We’re excited to push more real-time infrastructure, including Nodit’s gRPC Streams, for even faster data access.”

With Webhooks now live and more innovations on the horizon, Aptos is set to redefine how developers interact with blockchain data in 2025 and beyond.
