Confidential APT is on @Aptos mainnet.
Validators check a zero-knowledge proof that a transfer is valid, not the amounts. Addresses stay public. Transaction amounts remain between the sender and the receiver.
Opt-in by design, built for compliant use.

Building an order book and matching engine fully onchain was the open question. It's answered.
Both run on @Aptos across perps and spot markets, where block times are sub-25ms. @DecibelTrade is past $7B in total volume.

A fully onchain trading engine asks a lot of the chain underneath it.
Order book, matching engine, and settlement for @DecibelTrade all run onchain in Move on Aptos, with perps and spot markets in one place.

Markets and machines are converging on the same infrastructure. That's the throughline of new @BlackRock research: intelligence that runs on machine-readable data, value that moves on machine-readable rails.
Both layers are being built on @Aptos: @shelbyserves as the AI data layer, @DecibelTrade as the fully onchain trading engine where every order is matched and settled onchain.
Machine-native money needs machine-native infrastructure.
Our latest research paper explores the growing connection between AI and digital assets and explains why broad AI adoption may drive new demand, utility and applications across the digital asset economy. blackrock.com/us/individual/…
Seeing real consumer scale on @Aptos never gets old.
Giftiel, from @Daehongofficial, handles 100K+ transactions a day. L.TICKET just launched, with ticket issuance records also headed for Aptos.
This is what the network was built to carry.
In Korea, some fans see the same production again and again.
@Daehongofficial, a Lotte Group affiliate, built L.TICKET for them: performances, exhibitions, and leisure, bookable in one place.
Ticket issuance records are headed to Aptos.
Tokenizing an asset is only half the work. The other half is a market where it can actually trade.
Aptos Labs' CBO @SolomonTesfaye_ joined @FINTECHTVglobal at the @NYSE earlier today on what comes next: commodities, public equities, and more fixed income moving onchain, and the connectivity institutions need to trade them once they're there.
Eligible @BitGo self-custody clients already reach onchain markets on @DecibelTrade, with every order settled onchain on @Aptos.

Testnet resets to a fresh genesis on October 7.
Deployed contracts, test accounts, balances, and history are cleared and must be redeployed. Node operators re-sync and reclaim storage.
No effect on Mainnet. Devnet keeps its current schedule.
Block times <25ms. Confidential APT live on mainnet. @DecibelTrade and @shelbyserves both considerably further along than a year ago.
That shape is hard to see one release at a time.
@TokenRelations' latest @Aptos Annual Report covers the full stretch, and their dedicated Aptos page keeps the record current:

Agent-to-agent commerce needs money moving in and out fast enough that neither side waits.
That's a payments problem before it's an AI problem, and it's the kind of speed @Aptos is built to support.

Agents can already work the web we have: sites, APIs, checkout flows.
Onchain, the range widens. @AptosLabs' @AveryChing explores agents renting out idle GPU capacity, negotiating terms, and settling in stablecoins - among future use cases Aptos can support.

A quantum computer could break the signature that proves an account is yours. Given the public key, it could recover the private key and sign as the owner.
AIP-137 would let accounts opt in to post-quantum signatures, once enabled via governance, without moving assets.
Where Aptos stands on post-quantum:
→ AIP-137 by @AptosLabs' @alinush: native, account-level post-quantum signatures, built on SLH-DSA (NIST FIPS 205)
→ To be enabled via governance
→ Reviewed by @Coinbase's Quantum Advisory Council
Ready for it. Recognized for it.
$7B+ has traded on @DecibelTrade. $1B+ of it through Builder Codes, which let any app route order flow into the same orderbook for a share of the fees.
An onchain orderbook is what makes that composable: one engine, many front ends.

The cluster section is the one that stands out for us.
Compute capacity only becomes useful when the rest of the system can keep up. That includes the data layer feeding the workload.
As compute becomes more distributed, keeping that data accessible across changing compute environments becomes a bigger part of the infrastructure problem.
We made an interactive explainer of the AI compute stack: from grid power and data centers to chips, racks, clusters, and workloads, plus the public companies at each layer.
Explore the infrastructure behind what @JensenHuang calls the five layer cake:

The controls an institution runs don't change.
Eligible @BitGo self-custody clients connect to @DecibelTrade over WalletConnect. Approvals stay in BitGo's MPC policy engine; settlement is onchain on @Aptos.
