Introducing the New and Improved Aptos Build
Building in crypto often feels like building a plane while flying it. But it doesn’t have to.
That’s why we created Aptos Build: to give teams the tools they need to build, deploy, and scale with confidence from day one.
Now, Build is getting even better with new upgrades designed to make the development experience faster, simpler, and more predictable.
What’s new:
- No-code indexing for click‑and‑deploy custom indexers.
- Transparent pricing and predictable budgets through near real‑time, usage‑metered billing processed by Stripe.
- Organizational‑level workspaces and a brand new UI.
No‑Code Indexing
Custom indexers are essential for most dApps — but writing and maintaining them has always been a chore. Now, it’s just one click away.
With Build’s No‑Code Indexing, there’s no code to write and no heavy infrastructure to maintain.
Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Click “Create”.
Step 2: Build spins up a Postgres‑compatible database, a fully managed processor, and a GraphQL/REST API.
Step 3: The pipeline goes live in under five minutes, and you can start querying fresh data.
Pay‑As‑You‑Go Billing
With Aptos Build, you only pay for what you use. No bundles. No hidden multipliers. Just clear usage-based pricing.
Payment processing is powered by Stripe. Every compute unit, API query, and gigabyte of storage is timestamped, tagged to your organization, and shown in near real-time on your billing dashboard.
Here’s how it works:
- Each organization starts the month with an allowance of free credits.
- Add a payment method to unlock a higher tier of free credits.
- Company admins can define monthly budgets.
System limits run in parallel to prevent runaway workloads. Resource limits scale higher once your org becomes chargeable, but they stay within your set budget. Finance teams can export usage reports on demand.
Developers see the same numbers live as they build. What you see is what you pay.
Upgraded Workspaces
Aptos Build now supports Organizations — a unified view for your team. Instead of juggling separate accounts, your team shares a single, unified dashboard with all your projects in one place.
A brand new UI brings:
- Consistent layout across projects
- Cleaner navigation and better context
- Intuitive controls that scale with your team
Collaboration remains smooth and everyone works from the same place.
