Aptos Accelerates

Blockworks Research

The Aptos ecosystem is accelerating, with both the network and core projects gaining notable volume, transactional activity, and deposits. Aptos’ TVL has grown significantly, rising 263% year-to-date from $116M at the start of the year to over $425M today. Adoption of Aptos technology such as Block-STM by teams such as Sei, Polygon, Monad, and Thala validates its technical design choices and demonstrates real-world performance stress-testing. Ondo Finance’s tokenized US treasuries product, USDY, has surpassed $15 million, bringing RWAs to Aptos and highlighting the realities of new innovative financial products that bridge tradfi and decentralized platforms. While onboarding more diverse assets will enhance utility and drive further growth, the acceleration in key network metrics year over year suggests legitimate traction and promising growth ahead for Aptos.

The L1 Convergence

Blockworks Research

Recent discussions within the Ethereum community highlight this broader trend in crypto: L1s are converging on leaderless consensus designs to deliver higher performance and hardened censorship-resistance. magicdhz illustrates the L1 convergence, discusses the two prevailing leaderless consensus designs (multiple concurrent proposers and directed acyclic graph based protocols), and argues refreshing one's perspective on the L1 landscape is an advantageous position for evaluating adoption and the potential investment value of L1s and their applications.
