By Azuma
Entering 2023, the crypto market is finally picking up,BitcoinBreaking the $20,000 mark,EthereumIt also gradually stabilized at the $1500 level, leading to an overall rise in the crypto market.
Among the rising currencies, Aptos's recent performance was particularly impressive. The highest was once above $8.85, which is more than double the figure of $3.06 at the end of last year. This remarkable trend can be attributed not only to the positive trend in the market, but Aptos's own positive development trend cannot be ignored.
On January 16, at the New Year AMA event co-hosted by Aptos and Odaily Planet Daily, HC, head of Aptos Asia Pacific, said that the Aptos ecosystem has developed rapidly in the past year. Currently, more than 50 ecological projects have been launched on the main network, and there are more than 200 projects in the test network and audit stages. The total ecological locked in value (TVL) has exceeded 50 million US dollars.
Today, from infrastructure services such as wallets and oracles toDeFiFor functional applications such as NFTs, and games, Aptos has gradually developed an ecosystem with a clear structure, rich categories, and continuous evolution, which is worth sorting out again.
Next, we will once again briefly sort out the Aptos ecosystem in the order of wallets, cross-chain bridges, DeFi, NFTs, games, and infrastructure components, and take you once again to get to know today's Aptos ecosystem.

Summarize
In the previous article, we briefly sorted out the 85 projects currently being developed in the Aptos ecosystem in the order of wallets, cross-chain bridges, DeFi, NFTs, games, and infrastructure components. It is worth mentioning that there are far more than 85 projects currently working on Aptos, and this batch of projects in the article is only a representative selection based on statistics made by the Aptos Foundation.
Taken together, a relatively complete ecosystem has been built on the Aptos chain, and some competitive projects have sprung up on various sub-tracks.
Overall, however, the development of the Aptos ecosystem is still in its early stages, and the ecological pattern is still undecided. There are three reasons for this. First, the number of users and capital of the Aptos ecosystem has yet to “start”, and the TVL for the entire chain is currently only around 50 million US dollars; second, the core functions of most projects have not been perfected, and are even in the development testing stage for the time being (such as some DeFi derivatives projects); third, apart from some outbound projects, the vast majority of Aptos ecosystem native projects have yet to issue governance tokens, and the wealth effect has not yet been demonstrated. At a time when market sentiment is heating up, it may become a very important driving window for some time to come for project parties that are working on Aptos.
As the most high-profile project in the 2022 bear market (probably without adding “one”), Aptos, which has raised $200 million above its head, not only carries people's expectations for Layer 1 innovation, but is also viewed by many as one of the engines driving the next bull market.
However, since APT was launched in October last year, due to the impact of the market environment, APT's market performance did not “soar through the sky” as many people expected, which also brought in some not-so-good voices. With the recent strong rise in APT, it seems that the balance has begun to slide to the side of “fanaticism” and “greed” again. As Web3 practitioners, we want everyone to evaluate the development of the project with a rational attitude.
The growth of a project takes time, and this is especially true for low-level projects such as Layer 1, which “spurs the whole body”. Aptos, as the representative of the Move family, has drawn an amazing enough blueprint, so let's witness whether it can turn it into reality.
