Top 5 projects on the Aptos blockchain

All sorts of decentralized exchanges, NFT marketplaces, wallets – applications on the blockchain, launched just six months ago, are more than enough. A number of them still do not have their own token, which leaves the prospect of receiving a retrodrop.

We have collected the 5 largest projects on Aptos in terms of activity and number of users.

Martian

The first wallet to be launched on the Aptos blockchain. There are more than 150,000 Discord users. Based on the wallet’s activities (for example, a free NFT mint, exchanges of test tokens, etc.) Aptos gave away 150-300 APT, depending on the number of transactions. Now it is the equivalent of $2250 – $5500.

Martian supports many decentralized exchanges, allowing NFTs to be listed for sale directly from the wallet. Due to the same language for writing smart contracts (Move), the Sui blockchain was also integrated into the Martian wallet.

Martian still does not have its own token, although the developers have hinted on Discord that it will be released in the future.

Pontem

The largest dApps incubator on the Aptos blockchain. The platform has its own wallet and Liquidswap with several large tokens and stablecoins, as well as liquidity farming. Pontem also offers users template packages for developing smart contracts on Aptos and creating their own applications.

Those who have the experience and desire can pursue a career with Pontem. Vacancies come in all colors of the rainbow – from a community manager on social media to a software developer.

Aptos Bridge

An official cross-chain bridge. It allows you to move assets between Aptos and EVM networks such as Ethereum, BSC, Optimism, Arbitrum, Avalanche, and Polygon.

The bridge was created with the support of the LayerZero project. Therefore, if you receive a retrodrop, you can expect a double reward after the release of the token.

Topaz

The largest NFT marketplace. Many wallets can be connected to the platform – Pontem, Martian, Rice, Petra, MSafe, and others. Users have the tools to create their own NFTs, publish large collections, trade tokens, or launch their own projects through the launchpad.

It is difficult to calculate the exact trading volume on the marketplace. As we can assume, based on some large NFT collections, the total traded volume is: Aptos Monkeys – 422,000 APT ($7.1 million), Pontem Space Pirates – 51,000 ($860,000), and Aptomingos – 160,000 ($2.7 million). In total, there are about 100 similar projects here. 

PancakeSwap

Seeing Pancake Swap as a decentralized exchange on the BSC in this ranking is rather strange. Right after the Mainnet Aptos launch, Pancake put forward a vote to their DAO on possible integration with the new network. 97% of Cake holders voted in favor and Aptos was added.

A number of functions are available on the new network, including token exchanges, liquidity additions, farming, cross-chain bridges, and staking the CAKE coin with an annual yield of 30-50% in the Aptos network. Pancake's developers promise to add IFO soon, so that future projects can be launched on its own DEX.
