🔥Aptos is unlocking the next wave of unicorns! MoveMaker, as the official Aptos Asia-Pacific incubator, is proud to introduce the grand plan of Aptos to support ecosystem development this year. The @Aptos Foundation is committing $200M+ in new DeFi grants & investments to scale the most builder-friendly L1 to billions of users. Here's everything you need to know 🧵👇

Thanks so much to everyone who took the time to check out Movemaker at our event yesterday! We had a blast with the @Aptos team and were blessed to have speakers like @0xSamuelG and @JeffRenOKX attending. @AveryChing at MAKING MOVES: "I'm really excited in 2025, you can see the ecosystem take the forefront of what we're doing. We have institutions. We have the technology. It's time for us to build up our ecosystem of builders." "Now is really our chance to dive deep into the Chinese-speaking regions of the world, its communities and explore the potential and innovation that's possible with the amazing people here." 100% aligned with the Movemaker mission 🫡 PS: big shout out to our partners @OKX_Ventures, @0xBlockBooster and @AnkaaLabs 💖

👋 With Consensus and Movemaker’s inaugural event MAKING MOVES behind us, it’s time for some key takeaways and a look to the future! Plus: time for an aftermovie! KEY TAKEAWAYS 🌐 @Aptos is committed to expanding its user and developer base, and projects in Chinese-speaking regions, and more than ever seeks to explore the opportunities and talent that reside in the region. Its main initiative for achieving this: Movemaker. This was echoed multiple times by Aptos CEO @AveryChing . 🪙 Building. Community. Support. These three words are the value pillars of Movemaker. With multi-million dollar support and resources from Aptos Foundation, we’ll be able to provide grants to promising Aptos projects in the region, build up our own and our projects’ communities and provide support in the form of advice, funding, talent, brand awareness and other resources. 💸 “Money moves better on Aptos”. Aptos has two core ideals: speed and value transfer. Aptos CEO Avery at MAKING MOVES: “Our mission is to achieve transformation in society, to allow payments to flow directly from one person to another, to allow value to transfer at speeds that weren't thought possible.” 🧑‍🚀 According to @JeffRenOKX from @OKX_Ventures :, “A small step for Aptos represents a significant step for the crypto community.” From such a leading industry voice, this reconfirms that “Aptos is looking good here.” 🤝 Collaboration is imperative to success. It’s palpable during events when talking to people who are passionate about Web3 and its success. Not only connection and collaboration between ecosystems or projects, but also individual builders and communities lifting each other up. This is still core to crypto today. Movemaker would not be possible without the support of the Aptos core team, OKX Ventures, @0xBlockBooster, @AnkaaLabs and our growing community. WHAT'S AHEAD FOR MOVEMAKER 💰 Launch of the Movemaker grant program: onboarding and launching the first grant-supported projects under the Movemaker flag. More info soon! 🏙️ Opening of the Aptos Space in Hong Kong: a community- and builder-focused collaboration hub in the heart of Asia for projects and communities to work and meet from. This will also allow us to organize meet-ups, larger events and invite important connections to our HQ. Expected to open this quarter. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Growing the Movemaker community and creating an ambassador program for people who believe in the Aptos and Movemaker mission and want to carry the torch. Incentives loading. 🌉 Continue building connections in and out of crypto, with regional institutions, government bodies, media and key opinion leaders. This gives us the broadest possible platform to achieve our mission. 💻 Regular online events and AMAs to keep our community updated about the Aptos ecosystem and the developments of the projects on Movemaker. Be sure to tune in! 🛠️ Large-scale builder-centric event cooking - targeting Q2 2025. 🔥 We are extremely excited about what the coming months have in store for Movemaker, Aptos and Web3! In case you haven’t yet, join our Telegram community (link in bio) and tell your builder frens that Aptos and Movemaker is where it’s at!

Next week Wednesday, we'll be MAKING MOVES at our invite-only exec dinner in bustling LKF in Central HK! ✨ Expect key insights about what the future holds for Movemaker and @Aptos from CEO @AveryChing, plus great networking opportunities with other top tier attendees 👇

More nuggets of wisdom we took home from one of our speakers at MAKING MOVES - @JeffRenOKX: "As we know, @Aptos represents people. Every little step that Aptos makes in crypto, represents a big step forward for the crypto community. Aptos is characterized by performance, security, and professional application scenarios.” Couldn't agree more with this statement! We continue making moves on Aptos!

it’s not a bear market ❌ it’s a builder market ✅ While the industry faces a “winter”, @Aptos is emerging as an on-chain safe haven and the numbers back it up. 🤝 Even before the “Global Trading Engine” is fully online, Aptos stands out as one of the few L1s with positive monthly net inflows, with $23 million in new capital flowing into the ecosystem.
