Inside the blockchain
🌐What happened: There’s around 300 weekly active contracts on Aptos.
🌐Why does it matter: This milestone hasn’t been touched since the initial weeks after Aptos’ launch, according to flipside data analyst Cristinatinto. There’s over 2,420 total contracts across the Aptos ecosystem, signaling that “momentum is building fast,” she added.
🌐The big picture: The total number of Aptos contracts is on a steady increase since launching, showing the ecosystem is on a fairly linear growth track. The Aptos tech stack was designed for 5 billion users, the chain’s co-founder and CEO Mo Shaikh said earlier this week. In the past week, there were over 131,300 new users on Aptos, according to flipside data. So there’s room and potential for greater user adoption, scale and utility as more projects and developers alike deploy contracts on Aptos.
