New parking space for your stablecoins on @Aptos ~30% APR via @ThalaLabs and @EchelonMarket (also couple of bucks 💸💸 from airdrop)

@alex_aptos staking - ok. hard cap - calculate when we will reach this point at 2% :):):) locked tokens - it still won't cover the damage to the stupid treasury gas - now it will burn not 10 apt but 100? it makes no sense without the success of DB (now doubtful)

This is one of the most important structural updates Aptos has made. We’re moving from bootstrap inflation to performance driven supply mechanics Staking rewards cut nearly in half. 2.1B hard cap. 210M permanently locked. Higher gas → higher burn. High throughput apps like Decibel scaling onchain activity. If usage grows, burns grow. If burns exceed emissions, supply shrinks. Do your math.

@SolomonTesfaye_ @Aptos damn…

@Aptos Tokenomics Update → emissions cut, burns rising, supply capped The Aptos Foundation announced a comprehensive plan to better align token supply with real onchain network activity. The Aptos token is front & center.

@desyobs @jp_etraud labs and foundation have chosen who to kill

@jp_etraud And on top of that, 7 validators shut down over the last quarter ;)

By the way, there’s this theory that $APT price was deliberately nuked to catastrophic lows to force all the non‑friendly validators to shut down Validators shutting down = the network gets more centralized, and it also adds extra sell pressure on the #Aptos token.

@EchelonMarket hope binance alpha we need one more ticker for farming points

The @EchelonMarket Road to TGE begins now. Over the next 4 days, we’ll be revealing ecosystem partners joining the campaign, leading into Echelon’s upcoming TGE. The first partner reveal goes live tomorrow. Any guesses who’s first? 👀

@aptAlix yep, 10 != 9

How I feel explaining we can’t be ‘the fastest L1’ if our decision-making has 9 validators

@EchelonMarket finally Elon on binance alpha

Snapshot TAKEN. The next phase of Echelon is coming. Stay tuned

@cashintern where info about 77m?

Sui paid $77M for their Grayscale ETF in Feb 2025, Aptos gets it for free in Feb 2026😂🔥

@AveryChing @Justin_Bons Aptos still can't get all 5 yet 5 - ✅ but 3-4 - ❌

@Justin_Bons @Justin_Bons - APT has been up for well over 2 years straight - amid many many significant upgrades. Enterprise grade.

Despite that, most claim they are the best in all categories; that is clearly false. The key difference is that we are not cherry-picking an evaluation methodology. We are instead applying a consistent, but simple standard & to all cryptocurrencies fairly. Let me explain, before you unfollow me out of sheer rage: Scalability: Any chain that exceeds 2k TPS of "theoretical max capacity" gets a check mark. This is calculated by taking the smallest basic TX type & dividing that by the current capacity (block size/gas limit), making it a fair & objective measurement. I also deducted any "fake" TX's, such as consensus messaging. However, I did not count parachains/subchains or L2's. I am strictly measuring the capacity of the L1 here, as I remain sceptical of all modern modular designs. Scaling matters, both to maximize decentralization, security & scarcity through fees. But also because the empowering world-changing aspects of crypto can only be achieved by bringing it to the masses. Governance: Any chain that has fully implemented on-chain governance (direct stakeholder voting/token voting) gets a check mark; plans & half-implemented systems do not count! This matters, as the only alternative to on-chain governance is centralized control (off-chain governance), a concept totally antithetical to crypto & even worse: Leads to bad & often corrupt decision making Decentralization: This is far too complex to measure so simply, so we went with the lowest possible bar: Permissionlessness, in every possible aspect, when it comes to the L1. This gives us a binary for every blockchain. Though this is definitely still a gross undersimplification, which I can acknowledge here, it does mean that some of the chains we define as "decentralised" here are often far from that in practice. So, to help alleviate that situation, we will add another criterion: validator count! Requiring a minimum of 150 validators (block producers) is reasonable. Though this is sufficient for a simplistic analysis, a more granular approach would consider far more decentralisation metrics. Decentralization is not the goal; it is a means to an end. That end includes freedom, censorship resistance, privacy, immutability, financial sovereignty & far more. Decentralization is the key innovation that has allowed us to achieve these goals. That is why decentralization matters Economics: This category might be the most contentious. As there are many competing theories over what good token economics looks like. So, I acknowledge that I might be in the minority on this one, making it a contrarian view: Specifically, a good token economic design has to include a LOW long-term tail inflation (below 2%) combined with a fee burn. This ensures long-term sustainability & maximum scarcity depending on economic conditions, as the supply is now determined algorithmically. Where it reacts to market conditions, making it more scarce during good times & giving it a low inflation rate during bad times. It is beyond the scope of this thread to defend this theory more here, but I am absolutely convinced that this is the best economic design. This means all chains with supply caps get a cross; as such, a limit is far too risky for long-term security & sustainability from my perspective. Economic design matters because these cryptocurrencies are not only platforms & forms of money but also Stores of Value. My crypto economic theory demands that an L1 combine all three into a single asset, for competitive reasons. Because we can, that is why scarcity & concepts of sound money are still tantamount to all blockchain design. Reliability: Another simple metric: If a chain has not gone down in the last two years, it will get a check mark! This has to be a complete downtime period during which ZERO users were able to use the blockchain at all. We should expect absolute uptime for all blockchains; it is one of the big competitive advantages of decentralization. However, growing pains are to be expected & are the norm. That is why I set the time period to 2 years, as otherwise the vast majority of chains would have failed this check. Fortunately, events such as BTC's 2010 inflation bug have become ancient history, forgotten by most. What matters is the reliability of the chain right now. Nothing is perfect: As you can see from this list, nothing is perfect or unique. Not a single chain passed all the checks or stood on its own within a single category. This is the main point I wanted to drive home, counteracting some of the irrational thinking we often see in the crypto industry. It is human nature to think your tribe is special, set above everyone else. However, this is more often just another psychological trap within our human nature. This definitely makes some of the quasi-religious tribalism in the space all the more ridiculous & insane. That is why we must always take a pluralist approach by never exclusively aligning ourselves with a single blockchain ecosystem. That way, we are better able to maintain our objectivity & steer away from biases. As you will undoubtedly see in the comments, this will upset many people. But as I hope some of the more reasonable people can also see, I am setting up objective measures & comparing these blockchains fairly according to those objective measures. If your favourite chain does not get a checkmark, it is not my fault; blame the chain, not the science or the messenger! Conclusion: The number of checks or crosses a project gets on this list does not necessarily reflect my support, so please do not take this as financial advice; there is far more to consider than these five metrics. It is simply an interesting exercise for the sake of comparative analysis. I certainly cringed at how few or how many checks some of these got. That is because this is not a subjective popularity contest; it is not about how you "feel" about a chain. Good fundamentals can be measured, cutting through our preconceived biases. It is tempting to write these differences off as trade-offs. However, that is not the case. The feature sets I measured in this thread are not mutually exclusive in any way. We can have our cake & eat it, too, so to speak. My ideal blockchain does not exist yet, as nothing checks all of the boxes, even though theoretically, something could. Please also understand that this list is far from complete; at @cybercapital, we use over a hundred fundamental parameters within our own internal price target models. Demonstrating how this type of thinking can be scaled to operational extremes, requiring the coordination of large teams of researchers over many years. Something Cyber Capital has specialized in for over a decade. I hope this was informative & insightful. Let's aim to have all chains pass these checks one day, to create a sea of green: For your sake, for freedom, justice, civilisation, cypherpunk & humanity! 🔥

@SashaSpiegelman are u aware that Aptos also had a downtime?

The first full privacy L1. All transactions are private now

@AptosLabs Revenue > Chain revenue But not when it’s fake

Revenue >>> RWAptos

@neilhar aptos coded

the non profit foundation theatre of crypto held back the industry by YEARS the Zcash foundation is only the latest example but ask anyone that’s worked at a labs vs foundation and they can tell you how inefficient and misaligned it can be

@movementfdn don't repeat @Aptos mistakes

50M $MOVE tokens will be transferred from the Movement Strategic Reserve to the Movement Network Ecosystem wallet. These tokens will be used for ecosystem incentives, grants, and liquidity initiatives. We are excited to continue support for builders and growth on Movement.

@Stoicsui @SuiInsiders @SuiNetwork I’d be curious to hear what @AveryChing and @sherryxiao have to say about everything that’s going on but they don’t have freedom of speech)) or maybe they’re aligned with the foundation anyway…

@eugene_I_V @SuiInsiders @SuiNetwork Well by removing your stake they at least gave you your freedom of speech back😁

What comes first? 🚀 $SUI → $10 $SOL → $1,000

@obsrvgmi @monad @SeiNetwork @Aptos @SuiNetwork I mean the foundation is so bad that they will lead to the death of these ideas too and the mere presence of “gud tek” is not enough

@eugene_I_V @monad @SeiNetwork @Aptos @SuiNetwork what do you mean by FNDs Hand Reach it?

[🔥] Hot take: Speed alone won’t make Move chains win. Right now the fastest parallel EVM L1s are @monad with 400ms Blocktime & @SeiNetwork 520ms. But they’re still slow compared to Move chains 👇 — @Aptos :~50ms (targeting 10ms) — @SuiNetwork :~80ms So yes, Move chains are objectively faster. What do you think Move chains should do to actually pull users from EVM?

@NoworriesDev shalom, u r wrong

Price ranks change every cycle. Infrastructure doesn’t. Aptos is building for scale, institutions, and real assets. Short-term screenshots don’t change long-term outcomes. Shalom!

they simply removed vals with 1m stake and 10% commission, and it doesn't matter that these are the conditions they put us in the goal was redistribution the stake and make others profitable fnd will hide behind empty words like this: “focusing on overall contributions to the Aptos ecosystem and progress in growing stake across delegation pools.” btw seems all this stake now collected in validator with 23m and 12% - @ArtifactStaking incredible, @sherryxiao

@eugene_I_V @FunsMove @StarryDeserts @nobipinkboop I mean a ton of people have left Labs and fndn off late no? Maybe some fired some left but same difference in the end. Why did you stop validating despite being a large validator, even the high staking APR ain't sufficient? Genuinely curious.

🎉🎉 恭喜 Sui 打脸成功！ APT looking good here！

@Stoicsui @FunsMove @StarryDeserts @nobipinkboop and at the same time, CEO and Labs, at best, have no power over them

@eugene_I_V @FunsMove @StarryDeserts @nobipinkboop Elaborate?

@Stoicsui @FunsMove @StarryDeserts @nobipinkboop I’m saying foundation is responsible for aptos death

@FunsMove @StarryDeserts What's this Aptos validator saying @nobipinkboop ?
