25ms block times on mainnet. And getting faster.
Archon will bring @Aptos toward 10ms block times โ closing the gap between decentralized infrastructure and centralized exchanges.
The full stack for markets and machines, built for the speed they demand.
The great project of crypto is building an everything exchange.
The point at which crypto ceases to be a category unto itself and declares victory is when there is a single permissionless venue for global access to all assets with portfolio margin and best execution
I think this is the next big thing in crypto. If you talk to any S&P 500 company and ask them, "Are you planning to use blockchain technology to manage inventory, provide logistics, contract management, et cetera, et cetera?" They all say yes. So I think the next big thing in crypto is which of these chains is going to get at least one company in all 11 sectors of the S&P. Because the minute that occurs, you wanna go long that token. That's going to be a game changer, and I've got a whole team working on that. So far, I haven't found it yet.
Protecting users from MEV is one of the most important benefits of decentralization. Yet, historically itโs been controversial.
Centralized regulated infrastructure goes the other way and in fact supports MEV and payment for order flow. Most other blockchains followed with MEV protocols.
I believe global trading needs this change.
Traditional finance can't eliminate information leakageโintermediaries always see the order flow.
Encrypted Mempool can. Opt in per transaction. Public once validated. Only possible in decentralized systems.
@AptosLabs' Co-Founder and CEO, @AveryChing, for @FractionAI_xyz.
Aptos Labs joined @BlockchainAssn, @fund_defi, @Aave, @Uniswap, and others in DC for a congressional staff briefing on DeFi.
This is exactly the kind of industry-wide collaboration that moves the needle on policy, and Aptos Labs is glad to be a part of it.
Constructive DeFi policy starts with direct engagement.
Our legal and policy team joined @BlockchainAssn, @fund_defi, @Aave, @Uniswap, and others in Washington, DC, for a briefing with congressional staff on DeFi market structure and infrastructure.
As more financial activity moves onchain, clear policy and technical understanding matter.
Decibel is committed to building transparent, verifiable markets that can support the next era of DeFi.
Trillions in securities are moving to 24/7 blockchain rails. The question isn't ifโit's which infrastructure handles it at institutional scale.
The answer is Aptos. The full stack for markets and machines.
Move-powered security. Native confidentiality. Post-quantum ready.
Decentralization as ideology is the wrong argument.
An asset trading platform that is globally accessible, composable, trusted by many parties, online 24/7, and secure for the worldโs economic value is a society changing innovation.
Decentralization is not the goal.
It is the mechanism that makes this possible.
If I'm being honest I don't really care about decentralization
If you ask 99 out of 100 people on the streets they'll agree as well
People care about better products. If decentralization happens to make the product better great, but if not, delete it
Stop moving your capital to trade.
DLP as collateral is now live on Decibel.
The same balance earning yield can now back your perp positions.
No more choosing between earning and trading.
The Aptos Labs research team just unveiled a major breakthrough in consensus design.
TL;DR
โ Formal guarantees that your transaction wonโt be censored
โ Trade fairness and performance that even Wall Street infrastructure cannot match
