Recently, the ecosystem of @Aptos has become increasingly exciting. Whether you are a developer or an ordinary player, you can feel its rapid pace. The Aptos Foundation has just launched the Payments Grant program, which offers up to $150,000 in funding for individual projects, focusing on supporting the implementation of stablecoin payments. At the same time, the global hackathon Ctrl+Move is about to start, with a $100,000 prize pool waiting for you to compete.

At the application level, South Korea's Lotte Group has chosen to collaborate with Aptos to move millions of vouchers onto the blockchain. This means that the massive user base of Web2 is accelerating its migration to Web3. In terms of experience, Aptos's on-chain transaction gas fees are extremely low, and the confirmation speed is very fast. I personally found it to be particularly smooth, truly different from operations on other chains in the past.

It is worth mentioning that the Shelby project, which has a strong voice in the ecosystem, is collaborating with Jump Crypto to create a decentralized hot storage protocol specifically optimized for blockchain gaming scenarios, perfectly leveraging Aptos's high throughput and low latency advantages. Personally, I am also looking forward to its implementation, as the storage performance is definitely key for the explosion of blockchain games. Overall, the Aptos ecosystem is no longer just a potential stock; it is gradually turning dreams into reality.
