Aptos launched its mainnet in October 2022, raised over $350 million in funding and has a current market cap of almost $3 billion. In this episode, we speak to Avery Ching, the CTO and co-founder of Aptos Labs about his vision of building Aptos as a general-purpose blockchain for the next billion users, its integration with AI, the oncoming wave of blockchain modularity, and the deeper challenges surrounding regulation.
We discuss:
- The real vision of web3 being interoperable
- Integrating blockchain into the ‘new internet’ and the role of modularity
- How do we move end users from speculating on crypto to actually interacting with web3 tech?
- Regulation and leadership in a decentralized world – whose say goes?
- The convergence of blockchain and AI through Aptos and Microsoft Copilot
- The role of Asia in Aptos’ international growth
