🔥A brief history of Aptos🔥
The Aptos blockchain was launched on October 17, 2022, with the mainnet called "Aptos Autumn." The blockchain has raised millions of dollars from investors and is generating a lot of hype because of its intriguing past. Aptos is based on the Diem blockchain initiative (from Meta) that was recently abandoned. It uses the programming language originally created for Diem, with a focus on creating a scalable, fast blockchain and additional features that make the crypto more accessible to average users.
The team behind Aptos is called Aptos Labs, led by co-founders Mo Shaikh and Avery Ching. Shaikh specializes in scaling products and has experience in the private equity and venture capital markets, while Ching was one of the principal software engineers at Meta and has led many exciting and innovative development projects in the past. Aptos Labs' mission is "Building a Layer 1 for everyone," and the company is dedicated to creating the safest, most reliable network possible. Aptos Labs has managed to raise over $350 million in funding, launched its developer testnet, and successfully handled millions of transactions and thousands of nodes in two financing rounds.
