Next Steps: Upgrading AIT & Beyond

Before the launch of the Aptos network, AITs (Aptos Incentivized Testnets) was the way to select node operators for Mainnet, stress test the blockchain, and engage with the Aptos community to get people excited about the network.

After a successful Mainnet launch in October 2022, Aptos wanted to transition the community program goals towards increasing ecosystem engagement, and usage of the Aptos blockchain. The Aptos Collective is one component of our renewed community engagement program, designed with the non-technical community in mind. 

Aptos recognizes that Aptos also has an entire community of builders and developers eager to make a bigger impact. To support these teams and individuals, the team has introduced a bug bounty program for Aptos Core. Look out for many other new initiatives on the way, including new Aptos World Tour stops, online hackathons, community meet-up grants, quizzes, contests, and much more.
