Aptos Ecosystem Skill

Overview

Comprehensive Aptos blockchain ecosystem intelligence derived from DefiLlama adapter analysis, GitHub activity monitoring, and core protocol changes. Use for protocol survival analysis, opportunity detection, and ecosystem evolution tracking.

Discovery Methodology

How We Got Here

1. Cloned DefiLlama/DefiLlama-Adapters (depth 100 for recency)
2. Grepped for

   aptos:

   exports in module.exports patterns
3. Extracted contract addresses from

   getResources()

   calls
4. Cross-referenced with aptos-core releases for capability evolution

Why GitHub Recency Matters

• Adapter freshness = protocol liveness signal
• Commit velocity = team activity/funding health
• Breaking changes in aptos-core = adaptation requirement (protocols that don't adapt die)
• New primitives = opportunity windows for first-movers

Aptos CLI v7.13.0 Impact Analysis

Breaking Changes & New Primitives

Release: 2026/01/06 (3 days ago)
Language: v2.3 (default)
Bytecode: v9 (default)

🔴 Critical Changes - Protocol Must Adapt

🟡 Opportunity Windows - First Mover Advantage

🟢 Infrastructure Improvements

Evolution Predictions

🪦 Likely to Die (6-12 months)

• Small DEXs without differentiators - Liquidity consolidation inevitable
• Protocols not updating to bytecode v9 - Will break
• MEV-dependent strategies - Encrypted mempool kills them
• Single-chain-only protocols - Movement/Initia fork drain

🌱 Likely to Survive & Thrive

• Thalaswap - First-mover AMM, continuous iteration (v1→v2→v3)
• Echelon - Multi-chain from day 1 (Aptos + Movement + Initia)
• Aries Markets - Solid lending fundamentals
• Liquidswap - Pontem ecosystem backing

🚀 New Protocol Opportunities (Enabled by v7.13.0)

Address Patterns

Resource Query Pattern

// Account → Resources → Filter by module type → Extract data
const res = await getResources(ACCOUNT_ADDRESS)
const data = res.find(i => i.type === 'MODULE::struct::Type').data.field
api.add(TOKEN_ADDRESS, data.value)

Cross-chain Price Mapping

// Map Aptos TVL to ETH token for CoinGecko pricing
api.add('ethereum:0x7712c34205737192402172409a8f7ccef8aa2aec', supply, { skipChain: true })

Monitoring Commands

# Clone with recency
git clone --depth 100 https://github.com/DefiLlama/DefiLlama-Adapters.git

# Count Aptos protocols
grep -rl "aptos" projects --include="*.js" | xargs grep -l "aptos:\s*{" | wc -l

# Find all Aptos contract addresses
grep -r "0x[a-f0-9]\{64\}" projects --include="*.js" | grep aptos

# Watch aptos-core releases
gh release list -R aptos-labs/aptos-core --limit 5

Thread Context

When discussing Aptos protocols in threads:

1. Always check adapter recency - Last commit date indicates liveness
2. Cross-reference aptos-core - New CLI = new capabilities = opportunity
3. Track Movement/Initia forks - Same Move code, different chains
4. Watch for encrypted mempool adoption - MEV landscape shift

Query Patterns by Protocol Type

DEX TVL Pattern

const pools = await getResources(ACCOUNT)
pools.filter(i => i.type.includes('LiquidityPool'))
  .forEach(pool => {
    api.add(token0, pool.data.coin_x_reserve.value)
    api.add(token1, pool.data.coin_y_reserve.value)
  })

Lending TVL Pattern

const market = await getResource(MARKET_ADDR, `${MODULE}::lending::Market`)
api.add(coin, market.total_cash)
// borrowed = market.total_liability

Liquid Staking Pattern

const supply = await function_view({
  functionStr: `${LSD_MODULE}::staked_token::total_supply`
})
return { aptos: supply / 1e8 }

RWA Cross-chain Pattern

const supply = res.find(i => i.type.includes('TokenData')).data.total_issued
api.add('ethereum:' + ETH_TOKEN_ADDR, supply, { skipChain: true })
