All month long, we saw more community. More innovation. More performance and growth-driving wins across the ecosystem.
From the Gaming Developer Conference to Bucharest Hack and Interop Summit to an Aptos-powered Web3 game for NBC Universal’s Renfield, we’re continuing to showcase our value, diversifying use cases and bringing Web3 to all.
Here's a recap of what happened in the Aptos ecosystem this month.
Aptos x NBC Studios: FREE RENFIELD
March was exciting for Web3 innovation, with Aptos Labs and NBCUniversal joining forces to pull fans deeper into Nicolas Cage’s Dracula universe. Web3 comes to Hollywood with FREE RENFIELD—a Renfield-inspired game with Aptos-powered digital collectibles and major prizes.
Cinema magic meets Web3 innovation, brought to life by Aptos! We’re excited to be a part of this exciting project and share it with all of you.
Next Level Gaming at GDC
METAPIXEL and Aptos took gaming to the next level at this year’s Gaming Developer Conference in San Francisco. More than 250+ attendees came to game with us and checked out GRAN SAGA, the first game from their Web3 gaming universe, powered by Aptos!
Not only was the event a great success for the Web3 gaming ecosystem, but Aptos hosted a Happy Hour that brought together the industry and our community. Thanks to everyone who came out to meet us and celebrate.
Aptos Tech Heats Up
In the last few weeks, there have been so many great next-level tech innovations from Aptos, our community, and our partnerships— it’s no wonder gaming on Aptos was fired up all month!
From the Unity Verified SDK to powerhouse metaverse projects like METAPIXEL, Aptos is emerging as the home of the Web3 gaming revolution.
Interoperability with Wormhole NFT Bridge
Cross-chain interoperability saw huge gains with Wormhole’s new Aptos NFT Bridge, making it possible to transfer NFTs between Aptos and other supported chains.
This lets NFT lovers, creators, and collectors interact with other ecosystems using Wormhole as a bridge to and from Aptos on Portal.
NFTs on Aptos saw major wins this month with interoperability and now community governance possibilities through OrderDAO, the first NFT-focused governance platform.
OrderDAO offers NFT projects on Aptos, a no-code solution that empowers communities to influence the future direction of their project. Aptos has demonstrated its commitment to strategic, meaningful investments with moves like this.
Lava Powers Decentralized APIs on Aptos
Lava teams up with Aptos to provide fast, reliable, and private APIs, building the open standard for blockchain APIs while powering decentralized access to Aptos data.
This gives developers access to Aptos Mainnet APIs without hosting their own infrastructure, relying on public endpoints or centralized providers. Decentralization helps achieve maximum performance, reliability, and accuracy for Aptos users.
