Aptos Co-Founders: Aptos Network technology has experienced significant growth and is now developing a new product that combines centralized and blockchain features
BlockBeats News, October 15, Aptos CEO and Co-founder Avery Ching spoke at the Aptos Experience 2025 event:
「Today marks the moment of greatest confidence in the ecosystem's prospects since we set sail from Libra seven years ago. We originally made a vow: either build the financial infrastructure for the world or perish in the attempt.
We are not here to build another public chain but to lay the foundation for a unified economic network supporting hundreds of millions of users worldwide. Today, we are at a historic turning point: cryptocurrency has taken center stage, the new U.S. government and the financial markets are embracing crypto assets in unprecedented ways. Regulatory frameworks have made significant progress, and we have now joined the CFTC Digital Asset Subcommittee, committed to advancing DeFi and real-world technology regulation. This year, we have elevated our global financial strategy to a 'Global Transaction Engine'—undoubtedly, blockchain is the best place to transact global assets.
Aptos is building a next-generation product that combines the user experience of a centralized trading platform with the fairness of blockchain. Our trading technology has seen a breakthrough: the current block time of 85 milliseconds is already the fastest globally, and after this month's Velociraptor upgrade, it will reach 60 milliseconds, four times faster than Solana. The final throughput will exceed Sui by 14 times, the final confirmation speed will be 800 times faster than Near, and single transaction efficiency will outperform Solana by 20-1200 times. This is not just a performance breakthrough; we have also built a full-stack defense system from the virtual machine to the application layer, defending against MEV attacks and achieving capital market-level arbitrage trading. The Aptos VM is the only virtual machine designed for transactions and composability.」
