Over six months ago, the Aptos network began a shift toward performance-driven tokenomics, tying supply to network utilization. Now live: • 10x gas fees • 2.6% staking rewards • 2.1B APT hard cap Every transaction still burns $APT. Revisit the update:

Compute is increasingly dynamic - where it runs, what’s available, what it costs and what fits the workload. But changing compute often means another cycle of moving, copying, staging or synchronizing data. Shelby is built to change that - keeping data accessible as compute changes.

One Aptos integration opens the door to 100+ regulated assets. That's what @ArchaxEx brings to the network. And Archax isn't a crypto-native experiment. It's the first FCA-regulated digital securities exchange. The significance isn't another logo joining an ecosystem. It's what follows. One integration can carry regulated funds, equities, and debt instruments without rebuilding the rails for each product. That's how financial infrastructure scales. Integrate once, then expand what moves through it. One integration. 100+ assets that can move through it.

Keep the controls. Add the markets. Eligible @BitGo self-custody clients can now connect to Decibel through WalletConnect and trade onchain spot and perpetual markets without changing their existing approval workflows. Wallet controls by BitGo. Trading venue: Decibel. Settled on @Aptos.

Korea Blockchain Week runs Sept 29 to Oct 1 in Seoul, and the Aptos ecosystem is heading there together. @DecibelTrade is running a referral challenge through Sept 18: @kbwofficial tickets provided by @useTria, plus cash prizes. Details in their post. We'll see you there 🇰🇷

Conviction holds up under questions. The founders who stand out are calm, clear about what they're building, and focused on finding the best path there. @tbvxyz's @TobiasTBV and @Brent_Fulfer with Aptos Foundation's @aptAlix on evaluating founders.

Giftiel is only the starting point. 🏁 What we’ve learned from vouchers and coupons can help us explore how points, tickets, memberships, retail, and F&B experiences are managed with greater flexibility and trust—powered by @Aptos.

Your bank balance isn't public. Your onchain balance doesn't have to be either. Confidential APT is now available on the Petra browser extension. Addresses remain visible. Designed for compliant use cases. Opt-in by design. →

From scaling supercomputers to scaling Facebook to scaling Aptos. One thread runs through them: making distributed systems work at massive scale—the backbone of today's AI systems. @AptosLabs' @AveryChing with @theindexshow's @afkehaya

One major financial institution choosing Aptos is interesting. When it keeps happening, you should probably ask why. @BlackRock. @FranklnTempletn. @apolloglobal. @BHDigitalAssets. Different businesses. Different products. Different paths onchain. Some assets arrive through different tokenization platforms on Aptos, like @Securitize and @KAIO_xyz. What they share is a hard requirement. Financial infrastructure can't be "almost reliable." When you're dealing with regulated funds, tokenized treasuries, and institutional capital, transactions need to settle quickly, costs need to remain predictable, and the network needs to perform when demand arrives. These firms could deploy anywhere. A growing number have chosen Aptos. Eventually, the logos stop being announcements. They become a pattern.

We’ve been heads down hardening Shelby for Private Beta, and we’re beginning to onboard a select group of customers in stages. Over the next few weeks, we’ll share more about what testnet clarified, how those learnings shaped the product, and the problem Shelby is built to solve as compute becomes more distributed.

Native @USDC now lands on Aptos in seconds instead of minutes. @circle CCTP V2 is live on Aptos: the same burn-and-mint model, no wrapped assets, no fragmented liquidity. @TheStreet on how it works:

Testnet has processed over 10 billion transactions, and its storage footprint grows with them. Periodic resets keep it bounded. Full policy in AIP-147, introduced by @AptosLabs' @sherryxiao:

The first Testnet reset is scheduled for October 7. Testnet returns to a fresh genesis: deployed contracts, test accounts, balances, and history are cleared and need to be redeployed. No effect on Mainnet or Devnet.

The test of a thesis isn't whether it's right. It's whether you'll hold it before anyone agrees. No pivot, no refocus. Conviction usually arrives years before the market does. @gaib_ai's @konyk001 and Aptos Foundation's @aptAlix on mainstream adoption.

Experiment. Find room for growth. Iterate. Ask what's next. That's the loop at @Daya_HQ, where the team talks to users constantly and lets them reshape the product. The loop doesn't close. Ft. Daya's @alephile and Aptos Foundation's @aptAlix.
