Mohammad Shaikh, co-founder and CEO of Aptos Labs, has stepped down to "start a new chapter," with Avery Ching, co-founder and CTO, taking over as CEO. Shaikh, who helped launch Aptos in 2022 and secure $400 million in funding, expressed confidence in the company's future. Aptos Labs anticipates significant technical advancements by 2025 under Ching's leadership. The blockchain aims to expand its community in Asia and continues to focus on scalability and security. Despite Shaikh's departure, the Aptos (APT) token saw a minor 4% dip amid a broader market downturn.
