Aptos's Deep Involvement in Vietnam Blockchain Week
When talking about @Aptos at this year's GM Vietnam 2025, I can't help but think of the heat wave in Hanoi and the vibrant atmosphere of Crypto. As an enthusiast who has been keeping an eye on the Southeast Asian crypto ecosystem, I feel that this event is not just a gathering, but a crucial step for Aptos to deepen its presence in the Vietnamese market. Vietnam is a place with a young population and a rapidly growing digital economy, and it is indeed a wise choice for Aptos to focus its efforts here.
Aptos's level of participation is extremely high; they are not just sponsors, but core players. The most eye-catching event is definitely the Vietnam Aptos Hackathon 2025, which started online registration in early July, with the finals taking place live at GM. The prize pool exceeds 400,000 USD, including foundation grants and incubation opportunities. I heard that over 450 developers participated, with projects ranging from DeFi to AI-driven games. Bloggers reported that the atmosphere on the finals day was like watching a movie, tense and exciting. For example, there was a project called MoneyFiHub that took first place, focusing on building financial centers, and another standout, HedosFinance, which worked on DeFi liquidity optimization. The student group TruePass focused on identity verification, which feels very relevant and can address local digital identity pain points in Vietnam. Personally, I think Aptos's Move language shines here; it is secure and efficient, suitable for newcomers to get started, unlike some chains with prohibitively high development barriers. Bloggers mentioned that these award-winning teams might receive more resources in the future, and the Aptos Foundation is generous, which is more than many other chains.
Next time you have the chance, go experience it in person, you will definitely gain something!
