Aptos Launches Movemaker to Boost Chinese Web3 Presence
Aptos, a leading blockchain platform, has launched Movemaker, its official community organization, to boost its presence in the Chinese-speaking region. Co-initiated by Ankaa and BlockBooster, Movemaker aims to accelerate the adoption and prosperity of Aptos in this key market by integrating resources, empowering communities, and providing technical support.
Movemaker has secured multi-million-dollar funding and resource support from the Aptos Foundation, enabling it to operate autonomously and efficiently address the needs of developers and ecosystem builders in the Chinese-speaking region. Avery Ching, CEO and cofounder of Aptos Labs, and Ash Pampati, Head of Ecosystem at Aptos, expressed their excitement about the launch of Movemaker and its commitment to fostering innovation and growth in the Chinese-speaking Web3 community.
Movemaker's strategic expansion within the Chinese-speaking region will focus on two key areas: establishing an ecosystem grant program and strengthening Aptos' community presence. The ecosystem grant program will support project incubation and growth by allocating a dedicated fund to drive sustainable development. This fund will prioritize innovative projects in areas such as DeFi, AI and blockchain integration, innovative payment solutions, and stablecoins and real-world assets.
To strengthen Aptos' community presence, Movemaker will set up an Aptos Space in Hong Kong, host hackathons, hacker houses, technical workshops, and community meet-ups, and collaborate with government agencies, industry associations, and business organizations. Additionally, Movemaker will work with mainstream media and industry community leaders to expand Aptos' brand recognition and influence among users and developers in the Chinese-speaking region.
In its first year of operations, Movemaker aims to onboard 1 million new users, increase on-chain activity by five times, and expand community influence by five times. Looking ahead, Movemaker will prioritize building partnerships with investment institutions, user and developer communities, industry community leaders and media, and infrastructure partners to create a robust ecosystem network and drive Aptos' regional and global expansion.
