Aptos Labs (@AptosLabs): On @Aptos, an address isn't a public key.

Estimated coin impact

Scores are not price-change percentages. High impact means a score of +70 or more, or -70 or less.

On @Aptos, an address isn't a public key. Every account's address comes from an authentication key: a hash of the public key and signature scheme. The public key isn't revealed onchain until the account first signs a transaction. That authentication key can be rotated. Swap in a new key without changing the address or moving assets, so an exposed key can be retired in place.
