"For as long as I can remember, I have been passionate about building systems that empower people, systems that are more just and open. Since 2016, I have been deeply involved in the world of blockchain, both exploring and contributing to its transformative social and economic potential.

Three years ago, Avery and I co-founded Aptos Labs with a simple but ambitious goal: to create a resilient and scalable foundation that can build equitable and efficient products for the future. Today, I am incredibly proud of how far we have come. Aptos is one of the most robust ecosystems, trusted by over a thousand builders and innovators around the world. The ecosystem has thrived through cycles, each time becoming stronger and more vibrant.

Today, I am leaving Aptos Labs to start a new chapter. One of my true passions is building companies from the ground up and we have done just that at Aptos Labs by building a world-class team. I leave Aptos Labs with the utmost confidence in the team and am confident that the talent and drive at Aptos Labs will bring our collective vision to life in the near future. Avery will take over as CEO of Aptos Lab to lead the company into its next phase of growth.

The Aptos ecosystem continues to shine, driven by the incredible work of early builders turned friends like Merkle Trade, Thala Labs, Kyd Labs, Econia, MyCo and Aave. This growth is further amplified by the support of partners like BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, Mastercard, Google, Microsoft, NBCU, BCG and leading companies in South Korea, Japan and beyond. The convergence of Web3 and Web2 is happening rapidly, and Aptos is at the forefront, driving innovation and scalability...suite..
