BlockBeats news, October 4th, in response to the community rumor that "Aptos will shut down its blockchain within the next 6 months," Aptos Labs co-founder and CEO Avery Ching publicly responded, calling it a "stupid rumor."
The X account that initially posted the related message did not provide any Aptos official announcement, governance proposal, or other documents as evidence. When pressed for evidence, the account said the related content was only "heard" and reminded that it should be viewed with caution.
Aptos's current public governance records still show network upgrade proposals and executed mainnet feature updates, and no official plan to shut down the mainnet has been found at this time.
