Aptos Top Moments February 2023 poster artwork

February was short, but Aptos kept it jam-packed with community events and ecosystem-wide innovation that drove peak performance and growth.

With all these network wins, we’re sharing our first ever Aptos Wrapped, a new monthly blog and email newsletter series, to make sure you stay up to date with every Aptos win!

From product releases to global meet-ups, here’s a recap of this month's latest happenings in the Aptos ecosystem.

Improving the Network

Aptos is constantly evolving to create the ultimate experience for our community. This month we launched a successful v1.2 update to the network.

But even bigger changes are coming!

Our next network update will bring a 100x reduction in execution gas costs and the first iteration of Move objects. Stay tuned for all the details. We can’t wait to share v1.3, which is coming to Aptos Testnet soon.
