Aptos Labs CEO Mo Shaikh Quits; Avery Ching to Take His Place
"The Aptos co-founder is sticking around as a strategic adviser, though.
Mo Shaikh, co-founder of Aptos Labs, announced that he's stepping down as CEO of the company.

Aptos is a layer-1 blockchain that claims to offer enhanced scalability, security and transaction speeds. The platform leverages a unique blockchain programming language called Move, which was originally created for Facebook’s shuttered "Diem" project.

In a lengthy post on X, Shaikh, who co-founded Aptos with Avery Ching three years ago, expressed pride in the progress made by the company, which included raising a mammoth $400 million in venture capital funding and building "one of the most robust ecosystems, trusted by over a thousand builders and innovators around the globe.""

Payments Giant Stripe Brings Crypto Services to Aptos as Circle's USDC Stablecoin Launch on the Network

"Payments firm Stripe is expanding its crypto products to layer-1 blockchain Aptos {{APT}} and stablecoin issuer Circle plans to bring its flagship stablecoin, USDC, to the network, ecosystem development organization Aptos Foundation told CoinDesk on Thursday.

Until now, USDC has been available on the network only in a bridged version. The stablecoin company will also add Aptos to its Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP), a tool that helps move USDC across different blockchains. This will help Aptos better connect with decentralized finance (DeFi) applications.

Stripe will provide crypto on-ramp services on Aptos, aiming to help merchants move money between traditional payment systems and blockchains. Users will be able to directly convert government-issued currencies into USDC through Aptos-enabled crypto wallets.

“Adding support for the Aptos blockchain inside our crypto products broadens consumer and merchant access to more efficient global fund flows with stablecoins, whether it be a retailer accepting payments from around the world, or a platform paying creators no matter where they are" John Egan, head of crypto at Stripe, said in a statement.

Stripe earlier this year acquired stablecoin payment firm Bridge for $1.1 billion to boost its blockchain capabilities for global payments."

"Aptos Labs penned fresh partnerships with Microsoft, Brevan Howard, SK Telecom and Boston Consulting Group to develop Aptos Ascend.
The institutional platform intends to spread decentralized finance to institutional capital via the Aptos network and globally grow tokenized asset liquidity, among other endeavors."

I don't like the tokenomics of the Aptos cosystem

New coins are released every month and this can affect the price in a negative way, although the project has not yet had large price pumps. I don't know what the funds will do. Data on the price of tokegn for funds is closed, but the funds are now making good profits.

APTOS is one of the new altcoins that I am investing in for the long term. Yes, I said APTOS is a new altcoin because compared to most other big altcoins, APTOS is relatively new. There are several things that made me interested in APTOS, including because APTOS is L1 which has sophisticated technology and has many large investors which has resulted in this project having very large funding raised.

Aptos implements passwordless passkey authentication for transactions
"Aptos Labs has introduced a passwordless passkey authentication method for signing transactions on its Layer 1 blockchain network.
Passkeys are more user-friendly and mirror the ease of use found in services like Apple Pay or Google Pay, said Aptos CTO Avery Ching."

Aptos And Top Players In November’s Token Release
Token unlocks are events where previously locked tokens become available for trading, often increasing a project’s circulating supply. These events are critical moments for projects, as they can signal maturation and a new phase of market dynamics.

Aptos, a Layer 1 blockchain created by former Meta executives, is expected to have the most significant token unlock by value, releasing 24.8 million APT tokens, currently representing about $165.6 million at today’s price.

Aptos’s upcoming unlock on November 12 is not just substantial in value but also notable for its distribution, with core contributors, investors, the community, and the Aptos Foundation all set to receive portions of the release.

Aptos Token Surges on Microsoft Partnership Ahead of APT Supply Unlock
"Some $33 million worth of the tokens are set to be unlocked and tradeable on the open market.

Just over 2% of the APT supply – worth $33 million at current prices – is set to be unlocked on August 12 at 05:30 am UTC, data shows. This is part of a planned move and will decrease locked tokens to 80% of the total supply."

I guess that you shall go back again to the bounty thread and actively report your bounty task.

What you have said above has no relationship with aptos WTF fewcha is? Did you mean this? https://www.linkedin.com/company/fewcha-wallet?trk=similar-pages

It seems impossible for Aptos to be able to offset or even kill Ethereum, Ethereum is the most promising Altcoin and has a very good future and it has been proven that all the achievements of ETH are able to become the number 1 Altcoin and very different from Aptos which is only a Shitcoin that appeared on a few months ago and just got hit by the hype so I was able to get a fairly high ATH price.
You should be able to conclude for yourself how ETH and Aptos will develop in the future and you can judge which one has a brighter future.

Everyone is tired of the so-called "Ethereum killers". From a marketing point of view, "solana killer" sounds very interesting, because solana is a large ecosystem and aptos has attracted a lot of attention. And the tokenomics of the project is similar to the tokenomics of Solana and it is interesting to see how much XX the price of the coin will increase this year.

seems unlikely. because if we compare Aptos with ethereum, it's like we used to compare Solana with ethereum and in the end the question as you said is not proven. I mean back when Solana first came out and became famous around crypto people were thinking and wondering if Solana was going to take over ethereum and kill ethereum, and in the end Solana dumped. just like this Aptos, when it first appeared and it's becoming a hype right now many people think Aptos will be an ethereum killer. and maybe it will never happen the way Solana did.
ethereum is the first altcoin that has been around for a long time and has trust, good reputation from investors and has a lot of community, not comparable to Aptos.
although right now I'm glancing at Aptos but I say Aptos will never shift ethereum.

How to use Ledger with Pontem wallet: a short guide
Pontem Wallet is now  the first wallet for Aptos with Ledger support!The app is still experimental, but you can already store APT on a Ledger Nano and send it to others. What’s more, you can easily swap crypto on the Liquidswap DEX using the smooth Ledger integration with Pontem Wallet.

https://dailyhodl.com/2022/12/28/founder-of-solana-killer-aptos-apt-reveals-plans-for-2023-says-leaps-in-innovation-coming/
In a new interview with crypto influencer Scott Melker, Aptos CEO and cofounder Mo Shaikh says that the blockchain will see significant development next year, especially catering to decentralized finance (DeFi).

“There’s some really cool DeFi stuff that’s going to be coming live soon that takes advantage of not only things like Move, but also parallel transaction processing. So, you know, central limit order books, AMMs (automated market makers), DEXes (decentralized exchanges) – all of these things will be really cool things to keep an eye on Aptos. That’ll be step changes in innovation relative to everything that we’ve seen in the previous generation of blockchain. So we’re looking forward to all of that.”

Mojito Markets is a large project in the Aptos ecosystem with good investments.

Project update — pausing protocol development; token remint on Ethereum coming soon
"The FTX/Alameda crash disproportionately affected Mojito Markets in many ways. We lost project funds that were under the custody of FTX, we lost our market maker, Alameda
Obtaining emergency funding has been tough in the context of a bear market, having serious implications on our ability to deliver on our project plan"

Well, I had participated in most of these project's testnets, but still didn't get some airdrop news, recently there was a project related to Aptos, named Aptos Yields which turned out a scam project, and deleted their Twitter and discord. So, the main point is that, after the airdrop distribution of Aptos, there may be more scam projects that will take benefit from the recent airdrop and bring scam projects. So, be aware as always.
