Aptos

Aptos Foundation successfully hosted The Aptos Experience, a multi-day event held on September 5 and 6, 2024 in Seoul, South Korea to celebrate the ecosystem contributions shaping the future of Web3 on the Aptos blockchain.This flagship event attracted more than 700 pass holders from Web2 giants like Universal Pictures, Google Cloud, Franklin Templeton, Visa, and SK Telecom; leaders of Web3-native projects like Aave Labs, Ondo Finance, and Supervillain Labs; and ecosystem members and aspiring builders from around the globe. Attendees were immersed in an “un-conference” environment, filled with technical workshops from Move developers, an immersive Web3 exhibition hall, and dynamic discussions designed to shape the future of Web3. Builders also took part in networking and nightly curated events.Over 60 speakers shared perspectives that set the tone for discussions on the evolution of the creator economy, digital ownership, and the critical steps needed to onboard the next billion users to Web3. Experts including Arthur Hayes, Meltem Demirors, and Santiago R. Santos offered deep dives into the future of finance, gaming, art, culture, and technology.While specific topics varied, the common theme was clear: the future on-chain is bright, and the Aptos ecosystem is making it real.NBC Universal shared insights from the company’s ongoing Web3 journey, while representatives from Visa, PayPal, Arculus, and IDA discussed the future of on-chain transactions for mobile, wallets, and stablecoins. SK Telecom, Xangle, and Lotte Group outlined the use cases and benefits of the enterprise adoption of Web3 in South Korea. Leaders from Deutsche Motors spoke about how Web3 is transforming the used car market with enhanced security and transparency.Aptos Labs announced plans for an enhanced version of the Petra wallet that will include new features: earn, which simplifies access to stablecoin DeFi lending pools for non-US users; features for peer-to-peer payments; access to exclusive content like videos and digital collectibles based on interests; groups designed to create digital communities for shared interests; and peer-to-peer “nudges” to interact with friends. Aptos Build, a suite of tools for builders to create dApps regardless of blockchain or Move skill level with integrated solutions, was also revealed and launched. Arculus debuted the highly secure and user-friendly Aptos Card – a hardware wallet that can make global value transfers as simple as tapping to pay.Throughout the Experience, cryptographers and engineers discussed multiple innovative proposals that could drive the future of finance – and Web3 – on Aptos. There will be a governance proposal, including one for Raptr, the ultimate BFT protocol, that has the potential to unlock high throughput while preserving optimal latency and maintaining performance on Aptos very soon. A new and improved Move programming language will feature greater code, vector, and storage control for builders.“It was incredible to have such a diverse group of people in one room, their enthusiasm about Web3 being their common denominator. It’s emblematic of the Aptos Network’s reach,” said Bashar Lazaar, Head of Grants and Ecosystem at Aptos Foundation. “From DeFi to gaming to the used car market, each segment brought a Web3 use case being proven out on Aptos to light. In addition to showcasing real-world innovation translating to decentralized value for the masses, it showed just how boundless an on-chain future can be.”“Aptos Experience provided a comprehensive look at the massive opportunity decentralization offers not only builders, institutions, and household brands, but communities around the world,” said Alix Musset, Ecosystem Manager at Aptos Labs, a key contributor to the Aptos ecosystem. “The Aptos ecosystem is full of gigabrains actively advancing Web3 into a scalable, secure, and accessible next chapter of the global internet. Together, we’re bringing the world closer to mass adoption, thanks to the infrastructure, innovations, and features only available on Aptos.”“This event took things to the next level,” said Joseph Lee, CEO of Supervillain Labs, a project building on Aptos “The opportunity to meet with peers and experts, all in the name of building the best Web3 experiences possible, was unlike anything we’ve seen before. It was a nice reminder that we’re all working together towards something greater – and the Aptos tech stack provides a stellar platform for true innovation and interoperability.”Presentations made onstage in Seoul made it clear that Aptos is the home for high-performance DeFi. In collaboration with ecosystem members and partner organizations, the Aptos Foundation will continue supporting projects that bridge the Web2-Web3 gap and bring the world closer to mass adoption.
