Why I put @Aptos in the Crab category:
- Strong tech and high TPS
Aptos uses the Move VM and parallel execution, giving it a theoretical throughput of over 100k TPS; it has reached a max TPS of 12,993 already. Infrastructure-wise, it’s top-tier.
- Small ecosystem
Despite the tech, developer, and user activity is lagging. It has a TVL of just ~$1b, and low DEX volume, few transactions, and a conservative stablecoin supply.
- No killer app
Aptos lacks a flagship application, nothing equivalent to a GMX, Uniswap, Pumpfun, Zora, etc. Without a product market fit that retains users daily or defines the chain, it remains a “build-first, hope later” environment.
