Ching, Shaikh stated, will assume the function of CEO and lead the corporate into its subsequent section of development.

In his X submit, Shaikh acknowledged the work of Aptos’ companions and buyers, together with companies like BlackRock, Google, Mastercard and PayPal.

I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Dragonfly, Blocktower, Haun Ventures, Hashed, IRONGREY, a16z, Apollo, Coinbase, Parafi, Scribble, PayPal, Franklin Templeton, and the amazing angels who believed in our vision,” he wrote.

Shaikh stated he’ll stay with the corporate as a strategic adviser and plans to take time to replicate on the way forward for blockchain and monetary techniques. “I will always remain a champion of Aptos and its mission,” he wrote, including that he’ll “look forward to continuing to help Aptos maintain its role as the world’s leading blockchain.”
