Inside the blockchain
🌐What happened: Aptos hit 4.1 million weekly active addresses and $1.25 billion in TVL on Dec. 4, according to data on Artemis and DefiLlama
🌐Why does it matter: This marks the second consecutive week that the network hit all-time highs for its weekly active addresses. The network saw 3.9 million weekly active addresses on Nov. 27, marking its prior all-time high. However, this metric was pushed higher by 200,000 addresses this week. This points toward the notion that users are consistently returning – and entering – the network for their onchain decentralized finance (DeFi) needs.
Furthermore, Aptos saw an increase in its TVL, hitting a new high of $1.25 billion. This also aligns with the network’s current trend ofconsistently hitting new all-time highs this year. Since mid-October, when its TVL was $622 million, the metric has nearly doubled. This growth is arguably fueled by Aptos’ expanding presence in the DeFi sector and its partnerships with Tether, Bitwise, Blackrock and more.
Additionally, consistent weekly active address and TVL metrics can be attractive metrics for new developers and users when considering what blockchain to decide to use.
🌐The big picture: Across the ecosystem, a lot of blockchains are far from its peak in terms of weekly active addresses and TVL. However, if the Aptos network is able to consistently reach new milestones, it can signal a healthy level of adoption from DeFi developers and users alike.
If more value is brought in by DeFi projects, then the Aptos ecosystem can anticipate even more increase in users and potential developers. As market data and the trend shows, Aptos has maintained and captured market share as users interact with the network by consistently returning and adding liquidity to it.
