If you've been keeping an eye on the crypto market, you may have heard about Aptos (APT), a promising Layer 1 blockchain developed by a team of former Diem developers. Aptos aims to overcome the challenges of reliability, safety, and usability that have hindered the widespread adoption of blockchain technology. And now, with the opportunity to purchase Aptos tokens below their initial ICO price ($7.2), it's time to ask: Is Aptos sexy again?
One of Aptos' key strengths lies in its scalability. Using the low latency Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) engine and the Move programming language, Aptos can achieve sub-second finality and handle high transactional throughput. In fact, while still in its testnet stage, the network has already demonstrated support for up to 160,000 transactions per second (TPS) in controlled environments. This makes Aptos an ideal solution for Web3, decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), and non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and potentially positions Aptos as an alternative to Solana (SOL).
Moreover, the Aptos team has received significant backing, securing $350 million in funding from huge crypto investors like a16z and Jump Crypto.
It's worth mentioning that the initial performance of Aptos has shown negative returns on investment compared to USD, Bitcoin, and Ethereum. Aptos price plummeted after FTX collapse less than a month after its ICO.
Furthermore, as rumors of a potential second airdrop are circulating, Aptos price may experience an upward trend once again.
In conclusion, Aptos may have regained its allure as an investment opportunity. However, it is still risky as the market remains bearish and there are other blockchains playing in the same field, like Sui Network for instance.
