Aptos Co-founder: Aptos network technology has achieved a leap forward and is developing new products that integrate centralized and blockchain features.

BlockBeats News, October 15 — Aptos CEO and co-founder Avery Ching spoke at the Aptos Experience 2025 event, stating:

“Today marks the moment since we set sail from Libra seven years ago that I am most confident in the outlook of our ecosystem—we made a vow at the very beginning: either build the financial infrastructure for the world, or perish trying.

We are not here to reinvent another public chain, but to lay the foundation for a unified economic network supporting millions of users worldwide. Now, we are at a historic turning point: cryptocurrency has entered the mainstream stage, with the new U.S. government and financial markets embracing crypto assets in an unprecedented manner. Regulatory frameworks have made significant progress. We have now joined the CFTC Digital Assets Subcommittee, dedicated to advancing DeFi and real-world technology regulation. This year, we have further elevated our global financial strategy to a ‘global trading engine’—blockchain is undoubtedly the best venue for trading global assets.

Aptos is building a new generation of products that combine the experience of centralized trading platforms with the fairness of blockchain. Our trading technology has made a leap forward: current block times of 85 milliseconds are already the fastest in the world, 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, finality speed will be 800 times faster than Near, and single transaction efficiency will be 20-1200 times higher than Solana. This is not just a performance breakthrough; we have also built a full-stack defense system from the virtual machine to the application layer to resist MEV attacks and enable capital market-level arbitrage trading. Aptos VM is the only virtual machine designed for trading and composability.”
