5 Facts About Aptos During its First 2 Months Since Launch



Aptos has had an exciting 2 months since the launch of its mainnet. Here are 5 facts about the new blockchain, inlcuding performance, top holders and NFTs.
Five Aptos Facts Since Launch
The much-hyped Aptos blockchain launched almost two months ago, earning praise from supporters and drawing criticisms from skeptics.
Aptos is the first blockchain-based on Facebook’s Move programming language and scrapped stablecoin project Diem.
Here, we give you five facts about the performance of Aptos since its launch, derived from the TraceMove blockchain explorer by NodeReal.
1. $APT is Down 65% Since Launch
On Oct. 19, Aptos’ native coin, $APT, first traded at $13.73. Currently, the value of $APT is $4.83. That’s a decline of 65%.
However, according to CoinMarketCap, $APT is up 34% from its all-time low reached on Nov. 9. Due to coin emissions, the current market cap of $APT ($628 million) is “only” down by 37% since launch.
2. Aptos is Approaching 50M Transactions at 8 TPS
Since the launch of mainnet, the Aptos chain has processed 46.7 million transactions, with daily transactions holding steady at just above 600,000 for the past two weeks.

According to TraceMove, Aptos has averaged 7.7 transactions per second (TPS), which is far below the promised maximum speed of 160,000 TPS. However, since the launch, Aptos developers have countered TPS criticism by saying that the actual TPS is so much lower than the maximum TPS because there isn’t enough activity on the network yet to test the chain’s limits.
3. Binance Holds 16M $APT
Centralized Exchange Binance is one of the largest holders of Aptos coin, with 16.4 million $APT in a wallet that TraceMove labels as “Binance.”
That’s nearly 13% of the total $APT in circulation.
By comparison, a wallet attributed to the “OKX” exchange holds 2.1 million $APT , less than 2% of the circulating supply.

4. There Are 2.6M Holders of $APT
More than 2.6 million addresses currently contain Aptos coins. Most of the other popular tokens on Aptos are either stablecoins or wrapped native coins from other blockchains, such as Ethereum and Solana.
However, Aptos-specific tokens like $MOJO and $APTOGE are also among the top tokens, according to number of holders, as well as liquid versions of $APT by staking platforms such as Tortuga and Ditto.
5. Top Aptos NFTs Include Monkeys, Bears, Punks
Aptos has seen plenty of Non-Fungible Token (NFT) activity, with TraceMove listing hundreds of NFT collections with a significant number of transactions.
The top NFT collections on TraceMove’s list are Aptos Monkeys, Bruh Bears, AptoPunks, Aptos Undead, Aptos Toad Overload, Aptos Land Genesis, Aptos Dragons, VORP Pass, Aptomingos and Aptos Rats.

#Chainlink Staking v0.2 is officially live on mainnet ⬡
— Chainlink (@chainlink) November 28, 2023
Starting today, existing v0.1 stakers have a nine-day window to migrate their staked LINK and accrued rewards to the 45M LINK v0.2 pool, with guaranteed access before Early Access begins.
🧵https://t.co/pcFAVXct3L
As of December 7 at 12PM ET, LINK token holders meeting predefined eligibility criteria gain exclusive access to staking during a four-day period before General Access. From December 11 at 12PM ET, the opportunity extends to all, provided the pool limit has not been reached.
Community Stakers can engage with a minimum stake of 1 LINK and a maximum of 15,000 LINK during both Early and General Access, though entry is not guaranteed due to the capped pool size. Node Operator Stakers, on the other hand, can stake between 1,000 LINK and a maximum of 75,000 LINK.
The capped 45,000,000 LINK pool at the launch of Staking v0.2 includes an allotment of 40,875,000 LINK for community members. The remaining allocation caters to Chainlink node operators currently serving Chainlink Data Feeds.
According to Chainlink's recent statement, the introduction of Staking v0.2 is in line with Chainlink Economics 2.0, emphasizing the cryptoeconomic security of the Chainlink Network and bringing new improvements and features.
Last December, Chainlink launched staking v0.1. In the first phase of Chainlink Staking, a staking pool was established to secure the ETH/USD Data Feed on the Ethereum mainnet. Its initial cap was 25 million $LINK, 2.5% of the total supply.
$LINK is trading at $14.7, up 4.37% in the last seven days, with a marketcap of $8.2 billion.
