Aptos

Aptos is a Layer 1 proof-of-stake blockchain designed to provide high throughput and safety for decentralized application development. It was built by the team that originally created Diem, Meta's abandoned blockchain project, and it targets developers and users who need a fast, scalable platform for smart contracts. The chain uses the Move programming language, which was purpose-built for blockchain use cases, to give developers a safer environment for writing on-chain logic.

Aptos reaches consensus through a proof-of-stake mechanism in which validators stake APT tokens to participate in block production and earn the right to validate transactions. The block time recorded in the data is effectively zero minutes, reflecting the chain's sub-second finality design. APT is used to pay transaction fees on the network and can be staked, with a nominal staking yield of 2.3561 percent at the current pool rate.

The network generated 5,103 USD in fees over the trailing 24 hours, 32,944 USD over the trailing 7 days, and 134,895 USD over the trailing 30 days, all paid by users submitting transactions. The take rate stands at 100 percent over the trailing 30 days, meaning the protocol retains all fee revenue and supply-side revenue to validators over that same period is recorded as zero — validators are compensated through token issuance rather than a share of fees. Annualizing from the trailing 30-day figure produces a revenue run rate of 1,641,222.50 USD, and trailing 12-month revenue was 755,902 USD.
