Aptos is a Layer 1 blockchain project founded by the original creators of Diem, focusing on safety and scalability. It utilizes the Move programming language and the Move VM for application development.

The project operates on a proof-of-stake consensus model and aims to provide a high-performance blockchain suitable for various use cases. Aptos raised $200 million from investors, including a16z, Multicoin, and Binance. It launched its Devnet in March and an incentivized testnet in May, with plans to launch the mainnet in the third quarter.

Risk Report

Cryptocurrency carries risk. Every project listed on this site, regardless of its score, operates in a volatile and largely unregulated market. Tokens can lose most or all of their value. A high score reflects lower structural risk based on the data we can measure. It does not mean a project is safe, that the price will hold, or that losses are unlikely. Always research independently and never commit money you cannot afford to lose.

Track record score 57 out of 100.
Aptos has been operational for 4.3 years, showcasing a solid live history. There have been no regulatory actions taken against it, contributing positively to its standing. However, it has recorded two historical incidents and has several additional concerns raised by research, highlighting areas that need closer scrutiny.

Economic design score 80 out of 100.
Aptos has a well-defined hard supply cap of 2.1 billion tokens, which is a strong point for its economic structure. Additionally, 67% of the total supply is currently circulating, suggesting a relatively stable distribution. This solid economic design can positively influence investor perception moving forward.

Developer health score 0 out of 100.
Aptos shows concerning indications in its developer health, earning a score of zero. There have been no GitHub stars or forks, and importantly, there have been no recent commits over the last month. This lack of developer activity raises questions about the ongoing commitment to improving and maintaining the project.

Network security score 53 out of 100.
With a market cap of approximately $807 million, Aptos faces challenges in its economic security, contributing to a score of 41 in this area. While the project has been active for over four years, it has recorded two incidents, which could raise concerns about its overall security framework. These elements warrant attention from potential users and investors.

Social behavioral score 41 out of 100.
Aptos's social metrics reveal a moderate level of engagement, particularly on Telegram with around 90,091 members, while the audience on Twitter is verified but lacks follower count data. Sentiment analysis indicates strong positive feelings at 100% up and no downs. However, there are multiple allegations and red flags that could hinder confidence in the project's social standing.

Adoption liquidity score 57 out of 100.
Aptos demonstrates decent liquidity with a daily trading volume of around $164 million. It enjoys a wide presence in the market with 65 centralized exchange listings, of which 33 are considered trustworthy. However, its market capitalization tier indicates it is still building its foothold in the larger market.

Inherent risks exist in cryptocurrency investments, including potential market volatility, regulatory changes, and security vulnerabilities, all amplified by Aptos's historical incidents and lack of developer activity. Investors should conduct thorough research before making decisions.
