According to Foresight News, Aptos Labs co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Avery Ching delivered a keynote speech at the 2023 Shanghai Blockchain International Week, hosted by Wanxiang Blockchain Labs. Ching emphasized the need for the industry to accelerate blockchain adoption for all internet users, improve user experience, and expand blockchain applications in gaming, social, finance, media, and entertainment sectors.

Ching believes that gaming presents a significant opportunity in the Web3 domain, with the Asia-Pacific region being a crucial support area for the Web3 industry. He also noted that currently, early blockchain users account for less than 0.4% of total internet users. Ching stressed the importance of seamless, fast, and reliable user experiences for blockchain, similar to the internet. He added that blockchain infrastructure would require continuous large-scale innovation over the next decade, and that blockchain technology and applications will transform various industries.

Furthermore, Ching mentioned that Aptos undergoes version upgrades almost every month. In 2023, the company has already completed upgrades for versions 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6, with plans to upgrade to versions 1.7 and 1.8 later this year.
