Industry Observation and Analysis of the Aptos Public Chain Since entering the space in 2017, I have witnessed the rise and fall of many public chains. Back then, EOS claimed to have a million TPS, but what happened? Solana's outages became a common occurrence, and Avalanche once had its moment of glory. But Aptos is different; it has shown me something truly unique. I remember the first time I learned about Aptos was because of its founding team's background—from the Meta Diem project. To be honest, I had some doubts at the time, especially since the Diem project ultimately failed. However, upon deeper investigation, I found that this became Aptos's advantage. 1. Aptos's Technical and Regulatory Advantages "Dimensionality Reduction" in Technology The Block-STM parallel execution technology is indeed a breakthrough. I previously conducted a simple test: during network congestion, Ethereum transfers took several minutes, and the fees were exorbitant. In contrast, on Aptos, the same operation was completed in 0.1 seconds, with a fee of only 0.00011 APT (about $0.0005). This experience gap is not a gradual improvement; it is a qualitative leap. No wonder projects like Polygon, Monad, and Sei are "borrowing" Aptos's technical architecture. Simply put, Aptos got it right, and others are following suit. First-Mover Advantage in Regulation In June of this year, Aptos CEO Avery Ching testified before the U.S. Congress, which sparked significant discussion in the community. I carefully reviewed the testimony, and the three points he mentioned were crucial: Aptos is a U.S.-based company. Wall Street giants like BlackRock and Franklin Templeton have already deployed funds on Aptos. He called for clear regulatory policies for tokens. This is not just simple lobbying; it is about participating in rule-making. Think about it: when regulatory measures are implemented, which projects can quickly comply? The answer is clear. 2. Institutional Funds, Stablecoins, and Ecological Development "Voting with Their Feet" by Institutional Funds Data speaks volumes: BlackRock manages over $500 million in funds on Aptos. Franklin Templeton has invested over $400 million in money market funds. Apollo has moved private credit products to Aptos. The PACT protocol has issued over $1 billion in assets. These are all institutions strictly regulated by the SEC, and their choices are not arbitrary. Institutional funds are always cautious; any project they bet on must have solid technology and compliance capabilities. Natural Advantages in the Stablecoin Sector This year, the market value of stablecoins on Aptos grew by 85.9%, reaching $1.2 billion. The native deployment of USDT and USDC, along with the launch of USDe, has made Aptos a hub for stablecoins. More importantly, the GENIUS Act proposed in the U.S. sets requirements for stablecoins—freezing/burning functions, fast transfers, and clear audit trails—conditions that Aptos naturally meets. This means that once stablecoin regulations are clarified, issuers on Aptos can operate in compliance directly. Rapid Growth of Ecological Data Monthly active users have increased from 2.5 million last year to over 10 million in the first half of this year, the number of developers has grown by 96%, and ecological projects have increased from 250 to over 330. Behind these numbers are real user demand and developer confidence. Especially the success of the EXPO2025 digital wallet, with 500,000 new accounts and 4.37 million transactions, proves Aptos's performance in large-scale practical applications. This is not lab data; it is validation from the real world. 3. Summary and Personal Judgment My Judgment Having gone through so many bull and bear cycles, I have learned one principle: truly valuable projects are not built on marketing and hype but on solving real problems. Aptos currently faces the challenge of TVL still chasing other public chains, but I believe this is precisely the opportunity. With leading technology, regulatory compliance, and institutional recognition, these infrastructures are already in place; it’s just a matter of time. Of course, investing carries risks; I am not recommending buying or selling. However, from the perspective of technological development and industry trends, Aptos indeed represents an important direction for blockchain technology. In this uncertain industry, finding a project with solid technology and a clear path is quite rare. As Aptos's research director said: "We have built great technology, and now the entire industry is building based on it." This may sound a bit arrogant, but looking at the list of projects "borrowing" Aptos's technology, you will find that this is not bragging; it is a fact.

Dive deeper into Aptos

Throughout 2022, the Layer 1 protocol landscape witnessed significant advancements. Ethereum's shift to Proof of Stake (PoS) and the NFT boom shed light on blockchain limitations under heightened demand. Amidst the increasing adoption of cryptocurrencies, ensuring resilient data protection and security infrastructure has become imperative, particularly given the surge in online vulnerabilities. 

Addressing these concerns, Aptos emerges as a promising contender. Leveraging its scalable, secure, and dependable network, Aptos has garnered considerable attention from industry developers.

What is Aptos

Aptos stands as a robust Layer 1 Proof of Stake (PoS) blockchain solution, emphasizing security, dependability, and user-friendliness. Built using the Move programming language, Aptos boasts an array of advanced features, with its mainnet, "Aptos Autumn," making its debut on October 17, 2022. 

Aptos operates through three fundamental components: the Move language (a smart contract programming tool), the Aptos Move data model, and the Move module, all collaboratively enabling a transaction processing capacity of up to 160,000 transactions per second (TPS)

Additionally, Aptos prioritizes security, employing robust measures to safeguard user assets and information. Currently, the Aptos ecosystem accommodates over 19 decentralized finance (DeFi) initiatives, spanning liquid staking platforms, decentralized exchanges (DEX), lending protocols, and more.

The Aptos team

Aptos has its origins in the Meta (formerly Facebook) Web3 initiative known as "Diem." The team, including its CEO Mo Shaikh and CTO Avery Ching, was initially part of Diem's development. Despite Meta discontinuing Diem in January 2022, the committed team decided to persist, leading to the establishment of Aptos. This dedicated group now operates under the name "Aptos Labs".

How does Aptos work

Aptos utilizes advanced technologies and components to establish a fast, scalable, and secure system. The Move programming language, developed specifically by the Diem team and adopted by Aptos developers, plays a crucial role in the blockchain's functionality. It enables easier auditing and analysis of blockchain data, enhancing security and transparency. Additionally, Move has a virtual machine, a compiler, and a verifier called Mover Prover, designed for smart contracts.

Aptos employs the Move Virtual Machine (MVM) as its state machine, similar to the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). The MVM converts Move modules into bytecodes that the Aptos blockchain can interpret. 

Aptos’ mainnet currently operates on the latest version of AptosBFT (version 4). AptosBFT, short for Aptos Byzantine Fault Tolerance, is a consensus technique known for optimizing network processes. This protocol mitigates the effects of failed validators on the system's throughput and latency. 

On October 19, 2022, Aptos launched the Aptos Bridge. This feature enables the seamless transfer of Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), and Ethereum (ETH), between the Aptos network and various decentralized systems such as Avalanche, Ethereum, Polygon, and Binance Smart Chain (BSC). Users can withdraw their cryptocurrencies from the Aptos network with the Aptos Bridge. However, a three-day transfer window is endorsed for such withdrawals to ensure network stability.

Aptos’s native token: APT

APT is the native utility token of the Aptos blockchain. It is the foundation for decentralized governance of the Aptos network, granting APT holders the right to vote on decisions that influence the future of the platform.

APT tokenomics

Aptos has a total supply of 1,034,718,849 APT tokens with no maximum supply. By September 2032, the total supply of Aptos will hit 1.5 billion APT. Aptos has a burn mechanism which reduces the circulating supply by destroying APT tokens from fees and reward blocks.

The token can also be used across the entire Aptos ecosystem. APT uses a standard implementation which improves its interoperability and compatibility across the Aptos ecosystem. 

APT use cases

APT functions as the utility and governance token of the Aptos network. It serves as payment for gas fees for transactions on the Aptos blockchain. It is also used to incentivize community contributions and security services of validators on the network. 

Distribution of APT

Aptos launched in October 2022 with an initial supply of 1 billion APT tokens distributed as follows:

  • 51.02 percent was airdropped to community members.
  • 19 percent was issued to Aptos core contributors.
  • 16.5 percent was reserved for the Aptos Foundation.
  • 13.48 percent was allocated to investors.

The road ahead for Aptos

The Aptos team has announced that the fifth and latest version of AptosBFT is under development and will be released in a future upgrade to increase the scalability of the network to support the development of more decentralized applications (dApp). In addition, Aptos is now working with Mastercard to build a decentralized infrastructure for on-chain identity and payments.
