World Chain Niu Bit (niubite.com) shares that on-chain data provides valuable insights when investing in crypto assets, allowing us to observe trends in user and capital flows. By deeply analyzing this data, we can identify potential value gaps earlier.

Taking Aptos as an example, recent on-chain data shows that TVL has achieved significant growth in the past month, which is undoubtedly a positive signal.

Whether in the past month or the past week, the TVL data is significantly higher than that of other public chains.

For example, in the past month, Aptos TVL grew by 131%, while Solana TVL grew by 71%, and SUI public chain TVL grew by 29%. Currently, Aptos TVL has reached $590 million, setting a new historical high.

According to data from the tokenterminal platform, the active users and transaction volume growth data of the Aptos public chain also outperform most other public chains.

The significant growth in TVL and active users undoubtedly indicates that users and funds are converging towards the Aptos public chain. This trend not only reflects the attractiveness of the Aptos ecosystem but also foreshadows its enormous potential in the future.

Therefore, based on the continuously rapid growth of on-chain data, we can strategically position ourselves in the Aptos ecosystem in advance to quickly capture and seize more profits when it explodes.

Additionally, Aptos will have frequent activities in 2024, with a series of favorable announcements.

For example, at the 2024 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival Conference hosted by Wanxiang Blockchain (April 6-9), Aptos Labs co-founder and CTO Avery Ching has been invited to give a keynote speech. It is said that Aptos will make significant announcements in April, making the Aptos ecosystem worthy of our close attention.

Before exploring potential high-quality projects, let's first understand the background of the Aptos public chain.

Aptos is a secure and scalable Layer 1 blockchain, with most core team members coming from Facebook. The star team's pedigree has brought significant market attention to the Aptos public chain.

Moreover, Aptos is also a relatively wealthy team, having completed a $200 million seed round financing in March 2022, followed by $150 million in Series A financing in July of the same year, raising a total of $350 million. The investment teams mainly come from top industry players, such as a16z, Coinbase Ventures, Paypal, Binance Labs, Jump Crypto, and others.

It is worth mentioning that well-known investment institutions in the industry, a16z and Multicoin, not only participated in the seed round financing but also continued to invest in the subsequent Series A financing, injecting strong capital momentum into the growth of the Aptos public chain.

So, what high-quality projects in the Aptos ecosystem are worth paying attention to?
