Контролируемая инфляция согласуется со стратегией постепенного распределения токенов Aptos среди различных заинтересованных сторон.

Over the past year, Aptos has seen substantial growth in key metrics, including a 260% year-to-date increase in total value locked (TVL), which now exceeds $425 million. The platform's decentralized exchanges (DEXs) have also processed over $1 billion in monthly aggregate volume.

Aptos' unique architecture, designed for high performance and scalability, has contributed to its growing popularity among developers and users alike. The network is built on three main components: AptosBFT v4, Quorum Store, and Block-STM, which enables parallel processing of transactions and improves workload efficiency.

In July 2024, the Aptos team introduced Aptos Connect, a self-custodial crypto wallet that allows users to access and manage their assets using familiar social logins, eliminating the need for complex private key management.

The Aptos ecosystem has seen the launch of several key projects across various sectors. Thala Labs offers a range of products, including a decentralized exchange (ThalaSwap), APT liquid staking (thAPT), and a collateralized debt position (CDP)-backed stablecoin (Move Dollar, MOD). All three product verticals have shown strong growth in 2024.

Consumer applications on Aptos have also gained significant traction. KYD Labs, an onchain ticketing platform, has onboarded over 50,000 users and processed more than $1 million in cumulative ticket sales. In the gaming sector, Supervillain Labs' game “Wanted,” which launched on July 30th, has already crossed 100,000 downloads.

Beyond its core tech stack, Aptos is also making inroads in institutional finance with Aptos Ascend, a platform that aims to connect traditional financial services with an end-to-end financial suite. Launched in April 2024, Aptos Ascend is built in collaboration with Brevan Howard, Boston Consulting Group, Microsoft Azure, and SK Telecom, and leverages zero-knowledge proof cryptography and offers customizable multi-signature requirements for institutional needs.
