Read about Movemaker's latest Grantee project in one article
The Aptos ecosystem is at a critical inflection point. With the technical advantages of sub-second transaction confirmation, one-thousandth of a dollar gas cost, and the continuous breakthrough of the Move language in security and development efficiency, Aptos is making the leap from a "high-performance public chain" to a "full-scenario infrastructure". In the past few months, the Aptos ecosystem has accelerated its expansion: the total lock-up volume of DeFi has exceeded $1 billion, and the average daily settlement volume of the native stablecoin has increased by 300%. Behind this series of data is a qualitative change in the logic of ecological construction from "single application stacking" to "deep integration of technology stacks".
In this process, Movemaker, as the core accelerator of the Aptos ecosystem, has demonstrated a precise strategic vision through the Grantee program. Different from the traditional funding model that chases short-term hot spots, Movemaker pays more attention to the two-way empowerment of "technical infrastructure completion" and "user behavior remodeling". The 11 Grantee projects we screened include not only underlying protocols such as TeeNet to improve on-chain security, Yeap Finance to optimize capital efficiency, but also circle-breaking traffic entrances such as XWorld and Move to Learn, forming a complete value closed loop from infrastructure to application layer, developers to end users.
This layout directly echoes the annual proposition of the Aptos ecosystem: how to translate technical performance into real-world adoption scenarios. Movemaker's answer with the Grantee project is technology middleware for building a "frictionless" experience. Whether it's Tokimonster's social coin issuance, AITOS's natural language DeFi operation, or AllScale's global payment solution, all of them turn Aptos' technical features into perceived product benefits while lowering the threshold for user awareness and operation. This kind of "invisible infrastructure upgrade" is quietly reshaping the rules of the game for public chain competition. Here's a quick start for the 11 Grantee projects:
Tokimonster: The Social Meme Publishing Revolution
With the core concept of "social as Launchpad", Tokimonster redefines the logic of meme token issuance. By integrating the AI screening mechanism and on-chain transparent operation, it solves the three major pain points of traditional meme issuance: high threshold, uneven content quality, and proliferation of insider trading. Users only need to post their ideas on Twitter to generate tokens with zero code and zero gas fees, and filter the value of content through AI to eliminate low-quality projects.
AITOS: Become an Aptos Degen with One Click
Based on the Wonderland asynchronous framework, AITOS has built the first Aptos native AI Agent system, simplifying complex DeFi operations into natural language instructions. Users select the target plan through the strategy blueprint library, and AI automatically coordinates cross-protocol transactions, automating the whole process of asset allocation, dynamic rebalancing, and risk management. By lowering the barrier to entry for professional strategies, the product significantly improves the capital efficiency and user engagement of Aptos DeFi. Its innovation lies in the integration of AI Agent into blockchain applications to solve the problem of information asymmetry through data mining and model inference. Its security architecture ensures that the private key is always in the user's hands, adding trust to on-chain operations. As the "intelligent hub" of Aptos DeFi, AITOS is accelerating the transition of the ecosystem from basic services to high-end financial instruments.
AllScale: AllScale, a global payment infrastructure rebuilder,
relies on the high performance and low cost of Aptos to build a global settlement network with two-way circulation of stablecoins and fiat currencies. AllScale solves the problem of high cost and slow speed of traditional cross-border payments, and streamlines the invoicing, payroll, and settlement process through blockchain and stablecoins. Its "dual-engine" architecture supports distributed teams to complete cross-border payroll, e-commerce settlement and other scenarios with one click. By deeply integrating with Aptos' native stablecoin, AllScale compresses settlement times to minutes while maintaining compliance. The platform not only expands enterprise-level payment use cases for Aptos, but also serves as a key hub connecting Web2 and Web3 business ecosystems, driving the seamless integration of the digital economy.
APRO: Building a bridge of trust between the agent and the real world at the data
layerAPRO, as the first multi-agent data infrastructure, provides verifiable and tamper-proof data services for the AI agent ecosystem through zero-knowledge proof and TEE hardware security technology. APRO solves the security and real-time shortcomings of traditional oracles by improving the performance of oracles with AI Agent technology. Its two-tier security architecture has been adopted by dozens of public chain projects and has become the underlying standard in the AI meme wave. In the Aptos ecosystem, APRO's services are accelerating the intelligent transformation of DeFi, GameFi, and other scenarios, providing developers with reliable off-chain data access solutions. The success of this project verifies the technical adaptability of Aptos as an AI+blockchain testing ground.
Yeap Finance: Amplifying the capital of modular lendingYeap
Finance redefines lending protocols through modular design, providing innovative tools such as flash loans and leveraged LPs. Its customizable vault supports diversified income strategies and significantly improves the utilization rate of users' funds. Of particular note is the leveraged liquidity mining feature, which allows users to amplify the incentive earnings of DEXs such as Hyperion. Yeap Finance emphasizes security and transparency, low fees, and fast settlement, and uses Aptos' high TPS feature to improve lending efficiency. As an important component of Aptos DeFi, Yeap is building a complete financial stack from basic lending to complex derivatives, attracting institutional and retail funds to the ecosystem.
TeeNet: The ultimate solution for decentralized
custodyTeeNet combines TEE hardware and MPC algorithm to provide a trustless key management and execution environment for the Aptos ecosystem, secure wallet services and cross-chain bridge functions for DApps, and effectively prevent asset tampering. Its technological breakthrough enables cross-chain assets to achieve fully decentralized custody on Aptos, solving the centralized risk of traditional cross-chain solutions. This infrastructure not only enhances ecological security, but also opens up new channels for the introduction of external assets, helping Aptos become an asset hub in the multi-chain era.
ZKOM: The Cornerstone of AI Computing
PowerZKOM builds a decentralized AI computing platform and uses zk-STARK zero-knowledge technology to ensure the trustworthiness and tamper-proofing of computing results. It launched the POCI protocol to provide verifiable proof of integrity for distributed AI computing. By auditing the computing power process on-chain, the protocol solves the transparency problem of AI training and inference. With the support of Aptos high-performance chain, ZKOM is building a one-stop AI development platform covering data, models, and interfaces, lowering the barrier to entry for Web2 developers, providing trusted computing services for smart contracts and AI services, and accelerating the integration and innovation of AI and blockchain.
