What It's Like to Be Part of the Aptos Collective

Applications for the summer wave of the Aptos Collective are closing soon (last day is May 5!). As a member, you’ll gain access to exclusive perks, professional development, and a supportive network of like-minded builders—all while championing a technology you love.

But don’t take our word for it—hear directly from the members themselves. Their stories reflect the creativity, connection, and impact that define the Aptos Collective experience.

“Building a Better Tomorrow on Aptos”

Aptos Collective feels like a Web3 family to me—one we've been building from the very beginning. It’s more than just a group; it’s a close-knit community rooted in real friendships and a shared passion for growing the Aptos ecosystem. Being part of this journey fills me with optimism. That’s why I live by the motto: “building a better tomorrow on Aptos.” It’s not just a slogan—it’s a mindset that drives me every day.

I’m deeply committed to supporting new builders and community members. I actively help onboard newcomers, offering guidance and translating complex technical concepts into clear, accessible language so that everyone, regardless of background, can find their place and thrive here. Aptos isn’t just a project to me—it’s my home, and in this home, I truly feel like I belong. —@DrAlcista

"More Than Just a Chain"

A journey of more than two years—witnessing Aptos grow from obscurity to a thriving ecosystem. Aptos is more than just a chain; it’s a long-term endeavor of belief, persistence, and collective building. Thank you to every builder and every community member. It’s your contributions that give this chain its warmth and its future. We have never been absent, and we never will be. —@TonyJia21693453

"An Epic of Web3"

I still vividly remember that Genesis Night of mainnet launch, anxiously waiting for ‘proposals_count’ to show ‘1’ after typing ‘join-validator-set’ in the command line! Now, with on-chain TVL surpassing $1B, this journey with Aptos has become an epic of Web3. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is a blockchain—it’s built from countless small moments of listening and trust resonating on-chain. The stars of Aptos are growing from the palms of our hands. —@FunsMove

"Shape and Build the Future of Aptos"

Aptos stands for “the people”—and that has been the highlight of my experience. I joined the Aptos Collective a year ago. It has been an incredible experience working with extremely talented and passionate individuals. The Collective has unlocked key potential for me to connect with giga-brain founders, community managers, and fellow members to shape and build the future of Aptos.

"A Sense of Belonging Within the Community"

Joining the Aptos Collective has been a transformative experience for me. This group, dedicated to shaping the Aptos blockchain and onboarding individuals to the ecosystem, has not only deepened my understanding of blockchain technology but has also significantly boosted my confidence. The collective’s supportive environment has motivated me to contribute more meaningfully to the ecosystem, and I feel empowered to take on new challenges.

While I recognize that not every member is equally active, my personal commitment to the Aptos ecosystem remains unwavering. Even if I were not part of the collective, I would continue to contribute because I truly believe in the potential of Aptos. That said, being part of this group has amplified my confidence and given me a sense of belonging within the community.

I believe the Aptos Collective has immense potential to achieve even greater things. With a bit more structure and engagement from all members, we could unlock even more opportunities for growth and innovation. I’m excited to continue my journey with the collective and contribute to shaping the future of Aptos. —@Tinyjamj

"Incredible Individuals and Experiences"

The Aptos Collective, an ambassador program by the Aptos Foundation, is a powerful initiative uniting passionate community members to drive the ecosystem forward. While individual benefits vary based on engagement, the opportunities it provides have been truly invaluable to me. 

Being part of the Collective has accelerated my Web3 journey, offering hands on experience, mentorship, and early access to product launches within the ecosystem. I've had incredible opportunities to learn from some of the most knowledgeable and inspiring members, helping me grow both personally and professionally.

The Aptos Collective has given me direct access to industry leaders and the broader Aptos community, significantly enhancing my network. I’ve met so many amazing people through this program, forging connections that have enriched my experience in Web3.

The Collective has been instrumental in helping me connect with Aptos projects, expanding my reach and visibility. Through its support, I’ve gained exposure, collaboration opportunities, and a platform to showcase my work benefiting not just me, but also the communities I serve.

My weekly Twitter Spaces, "Let’s Taco Bout It Tuesday" and "Not So Thirsty Thursday," have likely seen greater participation thanks to the Aptos Collective. It has brought more people into our conversations, fostering engagement and spreading the positive energy we aim to create.

Beyond networking and growth opportunities, the Collective offers exclusive rewards, unique Discord roles, and other special perks that make being a member even more exciting.

For over two years, I’ve been deeply involved in the Aptos ecosystem building community, hosting Twitter Spaces, and supporting countless projects. The Aptos Collective has made this journey truly unforgettable, connecting me with incredible individuals and experiences that have positively impacted my life. —@ApersonLyeque
