Aptos Labs Partners with Microsoft to Drive Web3 Innovation

Aptos Labs has established a long-term partnership with Microsoft, aiming to simplify Web3 exploration and facilitate the development of the internet's future for creators. This collaboration is based on Aptos's unwavering pursuit of a decentralized, user-centered internet vision over the past five years. The partnership emphasizes developer-first design, providing them with a secure foundation to focus on user experience and consumer-facing innovation.

The cooperation includes deploying new products that combine artificial intelligence and blockchain technology using Microsoft's infrastructure. One of these is the Aptos Assistant chatbot, which will answer users' questions about the Aptos ecosystem and provide resources for developers creating smart contracts and decentralized applications. In addition, Aptos integrates its native programming language Move into the AI programming tools of a certain code hosting platform, supporting contract development, unit testing, formatting, and proof program specifications.

The CEO of Aptos Labs stated: "One important reason for the rapid integration of AI and blockchain technology is that they are both breakthroughs of a generation, having a profound impact on the evolution of the internet and the shaping of society."

Rashmi Misra, General Manager of AI and Emerging Technologies at Microsoft, stated: "By integrating Aptos Labs' technology with our AI service capabilities, our goal is to democratize blockchain usage, allowing users to seamlessly connect to Web3, and enabling innovators to use AI to develop new decentralized applications."

The two companies will also explore blockchain-based financial service products, including asset tokenization, payments, and central bank digital currencies, to expand the application scenarios of blockchain. Aptos will run validation nodes on the Microsoft cloud platform to enhance its network security.

Aptos is one of the blockchains on the current market with the lowest latency and highest throughput, with a completion time of less than one second, which is an important milestone in the industry. In July of this year, the weekly transaction volume of Aptos users reached 4.9 million and continues to grow. Since its autonomous online launch, with community support, Aptos has been upgrading its blockchain almost every month, setting new industry benchmarks while providing continuous support to developers worldwide.
