Intro & Aptos 101
Aptos means “the people”. Aptos team is building an L1 & trying to get adoption for it. The network has been live & Aptos team is now focused on getting the developer tools out there & on-boarding developers to build on Aptos.
Aptos Labs was formally announced in February this year but they’ve been planning about Aptos since 2018 (back when they worked at Meta). Today, more than 30 projects are live on Aptos & many are on path to launch once their audits, etc. get finished.
