Aptos Labs CEO Mo Shaikh Quits; Avery Ching to Take His Place
"The Aptos co-founder is sticking around as a strategic adviser, though.
Mo Shaikh, co-founder of Aptos Labs, announced that he's stepping down as CEO of the company.

Aptos is a layer-1 blockchain that claims to offer enhanced scalability, security and transaction speeds. The platform leverages a unique blockchain programming language called Move, which was originally created for Facebook’s shuttered "Diem" project.

In a lengthy post on X, Shaikh, who co-founded Aptos with Avery Ching three years ago, expressed pride in the progress made by the company, which included raising a mammoth $400 million in venture capital funding and building "one of the most robust ecosystems, trusted by over a thousand builders and innovators around the globe.""

Chainalysis and Aptos Foundation Partner to Increase Trust and Security

"We are excited to announce that Chainalysis is collaborating with Aptos Foundation to enhance on-chain intelligence by labelling addresses linked to actors with malicious intent. This data reported by Aptos Foundation will be integrated into Chainalysis KYT, improving monitoring and risk insights.

Aptos is one of the first networks to be part of a wider Chainalysis initiative to partner closely with blockchain foundations. By collaborating with Aptos Foundation and the broader ecosystem to identify and combat suspicious activity, Aptos Foundation and Chainalysis are raising the bar for blockchain ecosystem security and transparency.
