🔢Onchain Analysis
Aptos Fundamentals Quietly Strengthen
Protocols like Sui and Sei have received lots attention lately as their TVLs and overall usage grow.
In the last month, Aptos saw similar growth without the same appreciation in token price as Sui, for example. TVL is up nearly 20% in the last month.
A good way to measure true TVL growth is to denominate TVL in a chain’s gas token, in this case APT. Given the increase in TVL in dollar terms and a decrease in the APT token price, we can see a much clearer growth picture when we denominate the chart in APT.
Year-to-date, monthly active addresses on Aptos doubled, with 3 months of consecutive growth.
