Such growth is reflected by Aptos’ network activity which has so far seen:
20 million unique users on Aptos, with over 445,000 new sign-ups during the last week of July alone.
1 billion transactions processed on Aptos mainnet
Total value locked (TVL) has more than doubled since the start of 2024, driven by contributors to Aptos’ DeFi ecosystem such as Amnis Finance, Aries Markets, Cellana, Echelon and Thala.
From community-led initiatives and partnerships, the launch of Aptos’ first online global hackathon and the Aptos takeover headed to Seoul in less than 1 month, the ecosystem shows no signs of slowing down in H2. Here are highlights from Aptos in July in case you missed it!
