BlockDAG Nears $200M as FINALCALL700 Bonus Fuels Surge – Updates on Aptos & Internet Computer

Since its launch in October 2022, Aptos has been a leading Layer 1 blockchain that uses the Move programming language to enhance scalability and security. Funded by prominent firms such as a16z and Binance Labs, Aptos raised over $350 million before launching its mainnet.

After launch, the network’s Total Value Locked (TVL) exceeded $1 billion by late 2024, which is a 1,900% rise from its annual launch. Thala and Aries Markets are some of the key DeFi projects, in addition to a nascent NFT ecosystem that has catapulted this growth. The APT token, sold for $1, reached an all-time high of over $19, before squaring off.
