Aptos Ecosystem and the Innovations and Challenges of the Perp Track 1️⃣ Current Status and Technical Advantages of the Aptos Ecosystem To be honest, Aptos's performance this year has indeed been impressive. From 250 projects at the beginning of the year to over 330 now, developer activity has increased by 96% year-on-year, ranking second in the entire industry. But what impresses me the most is not these numbers, but Aptos's relentless spirit in product innovation. Let's talk about the Perp track. Hyperliquid has indeed ignited this track, but I think many people may overlook a key point: Aptos's underlying technical advantages in the perpetual contract scenario are actually a dimensionality reduction strike. Let's do some calculations. Although Hyperliquid offers a good experience, it is essentially based on a traditional serial processing architecture. In contrast, Aptos's Block-STM parallel execution engine can theoretically handle multiple transactions simultaneously, which can significantly amplify latency differences in high-frequency trading and large-scale clearing scenarios. More critically, there's the cost issue. I've recently been testing several Perp products, and the gas fees on Ethereum can easily reach dozens of dollars, while Arbitrum is slightly better but still costs several dollars. On Aptos, transaction fees are generally kept below $0.0005. This difference is a matter of life and death for high-frequency traders. 2️⃣ Challenges in Technology and Product Implementation However! Technical advantages do not equate to product success, and I have deeply experienced this. I remember when Aptos first launched the Keyless wallet last year, I was particularly excited, thinking this innovation could completely change the user experience. What happened? After promoting it for half a year, ordinary users still didn't buy it because the educational cost was too high. So back to the DecibelTrade project, I believe that having technical advantages alone is not enough. What do users want? They want to make money, simplicity, and security. From a profitability perspective, the competition in the Perp market has already become fierce: Lighter directly waives fees for retail investors StandX offers contracts with its stablecoin and provides a 4% annualized return EdgeX is developing institutional-level strategy vaults Each of them is using real money to attract users. If DecibelTrade only claims "we are fast and have low fees," that would be too naive. 3️⃣ Differentiated Innovation and Future Outlook for Aptos I believe Aptos's real opportunity lies in differentiated innovation. For example: Using parallel processing for complex strategies: Traditional Perp platforms find it difficult to execute multiple complex risk management strategies simultaneously due to serial processing limitations. However, Aptos allows users to run multiple hedging strategies at the same time, which is a necessity for professional traders. Native integration of the DeFi ecosystem: Aptos currently has high-quality DeFi protocols like Amnis Finance (TVL $390 million) and Echo (TVL $250 million). If users can automatically participate in DeFi mining with idle funds while trading contracts, this experience is something other chains cannot replicate. Security advantages of the Move language: Although users do not care about underlying technology, they do care about the safety of their funds. The Move language inherently prevents reentrancy attacks, integer overflow, and other issues, which is the biggest selling point in high-risk scenarios like contract trading. However, at the end of the day, whether a product succeeds or not still depends on execution. I have seen too many technically strong projects that ultimately failed, as well as projects with average technology but excellent operations that thrived. For DecibelTrade, the most important thing now is not to prove how advanced the technology is, but to answer a simple question: why should users switch from Hyperliquid or CEX to you? If this question is not answered well, no matter how good the technology is, it will just be self-indulgence. But I remain optimistic about Aptos's prospects in the Perp track. After all, this chain has already proven its execution capability: record daily trading volume (326 million transactions), minting 1 million NFTs in 4 hours, rapid growth of the developer ecosystem... The key is to convert these technical advantages into user value, rather than just staying on a PowerPoint presentation. As a long-term believer in Aptos, I hope to see more projects like DecibelTrade truly unleash the potential of this chain, rather than simply replicating successful models from other chains. After all, Aptos's slogan is "The World's Most Production-Ready Blockchain," and now it's time to prove that this is not just an empty statement.
