This is just the beginning of our push for a more modern, expressive developer experience on Aptos. Stay tuned — we have a lot more coming! 🚀

Together, these tools make writing, testing, and shipping Move contracts a breeze — and with network forking, you can deploy to production with confidence.

We’re not stopping there — a TypeScript-based integration testing framework is also being built on top of these sessions. If you’ve used Hardhat or Foundry, it’ll feel familiar — but designed natively for Move and Aptos. More details later this year.

With network forking, you can test against real on-chain data before deploying — no local node setup, no testnet hassles, and no surprises in production.

This gives you an easy local simulation environment, with support for network forking, one of the most requested features from our developer community.

I’ve always believed Aptos developers deserve powerful, modern tools — something I’ve been personally passionate about for a long time. That’s why we built Transaction Simulation Sessions — our first step toward making Move contract testing safe and effortless.

Function values provide major new powers to builders, arguably the most essential since Move 1.0 was created at Meta (and you only find them in Move on Aptos). https://t.co/s2IOoe6kZG

Developers move easier than ever on Aptos! Aptos Labs’ Move on Aptos Extension is now live for VS  Code, Cursor, and every VS  Code‑based editor. Fast, modern, and officially supported for the best builder experience. The extension is in public beta and ready to Move. 🧵

The future vision for Aptos Workspace remains clear: become a 𝗼𝗻𝗲-𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 for the entire smart contract lifecycle → 𝗱𝗲𝘃, 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁, 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆, 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲. We’re just getting started. 🔥 Stay tuned!

This is an 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗹𝗽𝗵𝗮 ⚠️ Thank you to the Aptos devs helping us smooth out the rough edges and deliver a workspace that works for you!
