Aptos seemingly confirmed the outage with a post on X (formerly Twitter), stating: 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"> 
 “Your energy for Aptos One was so electric, you cut the lights!” 
</blockquote> 
The team also noted that they were “working diligently” to address the issue, which had a ripple effect on crypto exchanges Upbit and OKX.

Interestingly, the outage came just as Aptos Labs <a href="https://twitter.com/AptosLabs/status/1714678128726233231" target="_blank" rel="noopener">celebrated </a>its first anniversary. The venture capital-backed project, developed by former Meta employees who had worked on Facebook’s Diem blockchain, marked the occasion by launching a community drawing platform called Graffio.art. 
According to Mohammad Sheikh, co-founder and CEO of Aptos Labs, approximately <a href="https://twitter.com/moshaikhs/status/1714717322072781294" target="_blank" rel="noopener">4,000 users</a> actively participated on the platform before the network went down. 
Data from CoinMarketCap indicates that the value of APTOS, the blockchain’s native token, dipped by 2.2% following the outage but quickly rebounded to around $5.
