# Blocks

Aptos Network, compared to other networks, does not have an explicit notion of a block. Aptos is a per-transaction versioned database

When transactions are executed, the resulting state of each transaction is stored separately and thus allows for more granular data access. This is different from other blockchains where only the resulting state of a block (a group of transactions) is stored. It only use blocks to batch and execute transactions.

The page details the list of all the current blocks and could be used for in-depth analysis for further information.

* **Block**: block number
* **Age**: when it was published on the public blockchain

* **first version**: the position of the first txn in the block
* **last version**: the position of the last txxn in the block&#x20;
