-Great! But Why Aptos 🤔?  Well, when you have a layer 1 protocol that is backed by almost 400 million dollars in funds and one that has a market cap of nearly 4 billion dollars, with the daily average transactions hitting 500K,  It's no surprise we're launching this course now so that Developers like you can master the protocol, build on it, and even tap into the millions of dollars in grants Aptos offers to exciting projects within the ecosystem. Power to the People 💪 Indeed!

 A solid origin story can tell you so much about a project. It reveals the vision behind the initiative, the problems it aims to solve, the people involved, and their motivations for driving the project forward.
 
-So, as we embark on this epic quest to learn and master the Aptos blockchain, we think it would be fantastic to start with the story of Aptos and how it evolved into one of the most prominent blockchain protocols in the space.

 ## A Facebook Project
 
-So, not so long ago, in 2019, Meta, formerly Facebook, officially announced that They were planning to launch a blockchain-based global payment system called Libra, with its own stablecoin.

-The idea was to make sending money across borders as cheap and easy as possible. You can imagine the buzz—it had people both super excited and pretty skeptical.

-But the scepticism wasn't just from everyday folks; governments and regulators were on high alert, too. They started raising concerns right away. Could this huge project disrupt national currencies? What about the risks of money laundering? These concerns quickly turned into a massive storm of opposition for the project.

-In an effort to calm things down, Facebook made some significant changes. They rebranded Libra as Diem, shifted their focus to single-currency stablecoins, and overhauled the project’s governance. But, even with these changes, the headwinds continued. Key partners started to back out, and Facebook, feeling the heat, began to waver.

-By January 2022, it was basically over. The Diem Association sold its assets, officially putting an end to the project. But our story actually doesn't end there.

 ## A Bold Move
 
-You see, many of the engineers and developers who spent years on the Diem project weren't about to just give up on the whole thing. Key among them were Mo Shaikh and Avery Ching, who played pivotal roles in the development of the Diem project, particularly it's crypto wallet tagged Novi Wallet.

-Move's focus on safety wasn't just theoretical. It was born from real-world experience building Diem, where security flaws could have dire consequences in a financial context. Additionally, Move's design aimed to make it easier for developers to formally verify their smart contracts, adding another layer of protection and reliability to the applications built upon it.

-Motivated by a desire to see their hard work realized, Shaikh, Ching, and others from the original Diem team founded Aptos Labs. This wasn't another rebranding exercise. It signified a focused evolution, building upon the core strengths of Diem while addressing the regulatory concerns and challenges that ultimately hampered its success.

 The core motivations behind building the protocol can be distilled into these key points:
 
-- **Scalability:** Aptos aims to handle significantly more transactions per second than older blockchains, positioning itself as a solution for large-scale adoption.
-- **Developer Experience:** With Move and a focus on tooling, Aptos wants to make building decentralized applications a seamless and secure process.
-- **User Focus:** Recognizing that usability is key to mainstream blockchain usage, Aptos is prioritizing intuitive user interfaces and simplifying the complexities of the technology.

-## Funding the vision
+## **Funding the Vision**
 
 Now, with great ideas comes greater funding. And if those ideas are carried by an experienced team, you might just raise a few hundred million dollars – even *before* launching your major product. Such was the case with Aptos. Even before their mainnet launch, Aptos Labs raised a massive $200 million in March 2022, followed by another $150 million in July of the same year. Investors like Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), FTX Ventures, and Coinbase Ventures backed Aptos early on. This kind of funding demonstrates the confidence investors had in the project and its potential to make a real impact in the blockchain space.
