We are thrilled to announce Aptos as a Diamond Sponsor of GM Vietnam 2025, marking a major collaboration between one of the industry’s most advanced Layer 1 blockchains and Southeast Asia’s largest Web3 gathering.
Aptos is more than just a fast and scalable blockchain — it represents a bold vision for Web3: one that is secure, modular, developer-friendly, and purpose-built for real-world adoption.
From its origins at Meta’s Diem project to its public emergence as a standalone chain, Aptos continues to push the boundaries of performance, safety, and decentralization.
Redefining Layer 1 Performance and Safety
Aptos is designed with one goal in mind: to bring billions of people into Web3 without compromising performance or security.
Powered by the Move programming language and the groundbreaking Block-STM parallel execution engine, Aptos is capable of processing up to 160,000 transactions per second while ensuring atomicity, low latency, and cost efficiency.
At the heart of Aptos is a commitment to:
- Parallel transaction processing using Block-STM.
- Safety-first development via Move Prover and modular design.
- Flexible data models and account management for enhanced user privacy.
- BFT consensus for high reliability in decentralized settings.
- Transparent pre-signing and transaction previews to prevent wallet-based exploits.
These innovations empower Aptos to support everything from NFTs and DeFi to social networks and gaming, all while maintaining seamless user and developer experiences.
Bridging Web2 and Web3 with Modular Innovation
Aptos Labs is the team behind the chain. While originally co-led by Diem alumni Mo Shaikh and Avery Ching, a leadership transition took place in May 2025, with Avery Ching stepping in as CEO following Mo Shaikh’s departure after over three years of dedicated contribution to the project.
As the new CEO, Ching aims to focus on deepening technological innovation, accelerating product development, and expanding developer communities in key markets such as India, Vietnam, South Korea, Japan, and China — all while staying true to the original vision: making decentralization accessible to everyone.
Beyond infrastructure, Aptos Labs builds tools to close the usability gap:
- Aptos Connect: No-install Web3 access
- .apt domains: Easy wallet naming
- Aptos Assistant: OpenAI-powered AI chatbot for education and onboarding
- FindOut: AI-integrated Q&A hub for exploring AI x Web3
This full-stack approach helps both users and developers adopt blockchain without the learning curve, aligning with the broader vision of frictionless onboarding into decentralized ecosystems.
Real Use Cases: AI, Gaming, and Digital Ownership
Aptos isn’t just a high-performance chain — it’s powering real-world applications:
- AI x Web3: Chatbots, content discovery, and trading agents running on-chain
- Gaming: GameFi studios and AAA experiences leverage Move’s custom resource model and low-latency execution
- NFTs: Secure, non-replicable digital assets on Aptos support creativity and identity
- Social Networks: Platforms like Chingari enable creators to control their data and monetization channels
With dozens of partners, including Microsoft, Alibaba Cloud, and SK Telecom, Aptos is already a key driver of Web3 convergence.
