The price of Aptos (APT), the native token of the layer-1 Aptos blockchain that was built by ex-Facebook employees behind the social media platform’s failed Libra/Deim blockchain project, surged on Wednesday on the news that Aptos has partnered with Microsoft to work on new artificial intelligence (AI) blockchain products.
APT/USD was last trading with gains in the region of the 10% on the day in the $7.30s per token area, having hit highs earlier in the day of close to $8.0.
As per a press release on Wednesday, Aptos unveiled that is will be utilizing Microsoft’s Azure Open AI Service to create a new AI-power chatbot called Aptos Assistant.
The chatbot will answer questions about Aptos and will help developers build smart contracts and decentralized applications, helping to accelerate the expansion of the blockchain’s ecosystem and utility.
Aptos and Microsoft have also agreed to explore the creation of blockchain-based financial products that could expand the use case of blockchains, including in the realm of asset tokenization and central bank digital currencies.
Elsewhere, Aptos is set to integrate its native programming language Move into GitHub’s AI programming tool called Copilot, which the press release said will support “contract development, unit testing, formatting and prover specifications”.
Aptos price predictions have unsurprisingly become more bullish following the news that the blockchain is partnering with Microsoft, one of the leading big tech behemoths, to accelerate the pace at which its ecosystem develops using AI.
AI has been a hot topic in crypto since the launch of ChatGPT by OpenAI late last year, and many crypto investors might start piling into Aptos now in light of the crypto becoming an “AI coin”.
