Overview
Aptos Labs is the primary developer behind the Aptos blockchain, a Layer 1 network built on the Move programming language originally developed for Meta's abandoned Diem project. The Palo Alto-based company was founded in 2021 by former Meta engineers Mo Shaikh and Avery Ching.
The Aptos mainnet launched in October 2022, and the network has since positioned itself around high transaction throughput, low fees, and institutional-grade trading infrastructure, including an April 2026 mainnet launch of an opt-in privacy feature called Confidential APT.
Private securities are speculative, illiquid, and involve risk of complete loss of principal. You should be prepared to hold private securities for an extended period; there is no assurance of a secondary market, an IPO, or other liquidity event. You are fully responsible for conducting your own due diligence. Pricing is indicative — nothing here is an offer of securities.
