The two companies will also explore AI and DeFi innovations such as asset tokenization, payments, and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) in a bid to advance Web3 adoption from financial enterprises. According to the official blog post, Aptos Labs will host validator nodes, or servers, that help secure a blockchain and process transactions on Microsoft’s cloud computing platform, Azure.
Meanwhile, Github, which is another platform owned by the tech company, will also integrate Aptos’s programming language, Move, into Copilot, which happens to be an AI model that auto-completes code for developers. As part of the deal, Aptos Labs will receive the exposure of large financial institutions via Microsoft that are inclined towards building blockchain-powered applications on top of Azure.
“There is no denying that the foundation of tomorrow’s internet has been laid down today by Aptos. This integration of Microsoft’s leading AI technology is a significant step towards fundamentally changing how society uses the internet.”
