$1.95B in stablecoins, all-time high, up 91% in a year. $869.9M in RWAs across 21 tokenized products, including BlackRock and Ondo. Sub-30ms blocks. Confidential transactions live on mainnet. 2.95B txns processed. Most people still think of @Aptos as "the fast L1." It's becoming the settlement layer institutions actually use.

This #ufc is so freaking cool! Couldn't imagine the pride the fighters are feeling. #freedom250 #ufc250 #whitehouseufc

We got into the barriers of traditional payment systems, what paying in crypto would enable for global business and more. mastercard.com/us/en/news-an… > The Aptos Improvement Proposals that have passed for the hard cap of APT supply at 2.1 Billion (governance.aptosfoundation.o…), The reduction of staking reward rate from 5.19% -> 2.6% (governance.aptosfoundation.o…) which just passed today, and the 10x increase in gas fees which has almost three days left of voting (governance.aptosfoundation.o…). > We also discussed the upcoming X live video session on March 24th with Dr. @alinush, Head of Cryptography at @AptosLabs, all about Confidential Assets.

Aptos is proud to be a part of @Mastercard's Crypto Partner Program. Already at the forefront of token-based finance while supporting global money movement, Aptos is primed for the next phase of digital asset adoption alongside Mastercard. Learn more below 👇

Aptos tech is honestly impressive. They run ~120 validators distributed globally across 40 countries, yet still hit ~39 ms block time — even faster than @fogo, which has only 5 validators in a single location and still sits around a ~40 ms limit. Meanwhile, Ethereum L2s like @megaeth can claim ~10 ms by relying on centralized processing — but L2s can’t truly “finalize” faster than the underlying L1. In real congestion, completing a transaction end-to-end on L2 can still take minutes (or longer when things get messy). We’ve been watching @AptosLabs and @AveryChing build an L1 that’s genuinely next-level. If you know any L1 that’s faster than Aptos, drop it in the replies — I might have missed one. Even HyperCore had to evolve: from very high block times → ~200 ms → now ~70–80 ms, still meaningfully slower than Aptos. In the next 5–10 years, if FX and major traditional markets move onchain, we’ll need infrastructure that can actually handle that scale. HyperCore, Somnia, Solana, Aptos, Sui, Sei, Monad, Injective… all these “fast L1s” exist for one reason: mass adoption. What do you think?

Worth saying that @rocket100ltd hasn’t died like many were predicting based on the Aptos` emojicoin platform sunsetting. Sitting around at 80k MC, quietly building some AI bots, yield aggr platform, games, growing the community, and so on. We cannot compare it to @guiinuonaptos, since the history matters in this context. Still very impressive.

You can help me raise funds by donating or sharing: gogetfunding.com/?p=9499394 My painting was officially accepted through curation for an international physical exhibition in Paris, France. This is my first time being included in an international exhibit, and it’s a huge milestone in my artistic journey. I’m raising funds to cover the participation fee, which includes shipping, installation, promotional materials, exhibition catalogs, and other essential logistical costs. These expenses are the only thing standing between me and this incredible opportunity. Any support, whether through a donation or sharing this fundraiser, truly means so much to me. Thank you for helping me bring my art to Paris 🤍 I will gladly represent the organization who will have a big impact on achieving this goal ❤️

A new start to the week, a new @Aptos Collective chill session. We discussed the biggest news on Aptos, that being the change to tokenomics as written in the recent article "Aptos Tokenomics Update: Moving to Performance-Driven Supply Mechanisms". Make sure you check it out in full in the link below. Some of the main points of the changes: Tokenomics Direction • Aptos is transitioning from bootstrap inflation to performance-driven tokenomics • Supply dynamics now align with real network usage and activity • Objective: enable conditions where burns can exceed emissions Why This Update • Aptos has matured into a high-throughput production network • Strong uptime, fast blocks, expanding ecosystem & institutional adoption • Tokenomics evolving to reflect sustained economic activity Baseline Supply Context • Current circulating supply: ~1.196B APT (now 1.197B) • Major unlock cycle ends Oct 2026, reducing annualized supply unlocks by 60% • Grant emissions already trending downward Core Mechanism Changes Staking Rewards • Proposed reduction: 5.19% → 2.6% • Focus on long-term emission discipline & validator sustainability • Longer commitments may receive relatively higher rewards Gas Fees • Governance proposal for 10× gas fee increase • All gas fees are burned, strengthening deflationary pressure • Transactions remain extremely low cost even after adjustment @DecibelTrade Impact • Decibel executes 100% of trading activity onchain • High-frequency transactions → higher APT burn rates • More markets & TPS directly scale burn dynamics • Designed as a major long-term burn driver Hard Supply Cap • Proposed maximum supply: 2.1B APT • Introduces permanent supply certainty • Supports gradual transition toward fee-driven security Foundation Permanent Lock • 210M APT permanently locked & staked • Removes meaningful potential supply from circulation • Aligns Foundation incentives with network health Performance-Gated Issuance • Future grants tied to KPIs & milestones • Tokens vest upon performance, not upfront • Links ecosystem growth → emissions Buyback Exploration • Foundation exploring potential programmatic buyback mechanisms • Intended as complementary supply stabilizer Deflationary Framework • Emissions decreasing → lower staking rewards unlock reductions supply cap • Burns increasing → higher gas fees high-throughput applications → Enables potential state where APT burned exceeds APT issued Key Takeaways • Aptos tokenomics now anchored to network performance & usage • Growth increasingly supported by economic activity rather than inflation • Designed for a scaling, high-throughput financial network Aptos continues on its mission to onboard the next billion users to Web3.

Congratulations to Aptos Collective member @ssadkov and his project @yieldai_app for being one of the launch partners of @DecibelTrade on @Aptos ! The Aptos Community member > Aptos Collective member > Aptos builder pipeline is real !

3v3 to determine who wins Olympic gold is ridiculous

Why did Canada give up 2 in the 2nd end? (I know nothing about curling) #Olympics2026 #curling #Canada #GoldMedal

This needs to be said, as there has been unrelenting hate and poisonous propaganda in the West against anyone White, straight or male over the past decade or more! It went WAY too far. No more guilt trips. ENOUGH.

Gonna run this once again. $50 for TWO people who RT & is a NEW follower 👊🏽

On to the finals!
