# 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

| Change | Impact | Who Must Adapt |
|--------|--------|----------------|
| **Signed integers (sint)** | New numeric types in Move | All protocols using math |
| **Bytecode v9 default** | Recompilation required | Every deployed contract |
| **Encrypted mempool** | MEV protection infra | DEXs, arbitrage bots |

### 🟡 Opportunity Windows - First Mover Advantage

| New Primitive | Enables | Opportunity |
|---------------|---------|-------------|
| **PVSS (Publicly Verifiable Secret Sharing)** | Threshold signatures, DKG | New validator services, MPC wallets |
| **Batch encryption** | Private orderflow | Dark pools, RFQ systems |
| **Orderless transactions** | Gasless UX | Consumer apps, gaming |
| **SLH-DSA (post-quantum sigs)** | Quantum resistance | Long-term custody solutions |
| **Dead man's switch (orderbook)** | Auto-cancellation | Advanced trading protocols |
| **Historical data sync** | Full archive nodes | Analytics, indexers |

### 🟢 Infrastructure Improvements

| Change | Benefit |
|--------|---------|
| VM profiler | Better gas optimization |
| Layout caches enabled by default | 10-20% perf boost |
| Gas charging optimizations | Cheaper txns |
| Keyless/Federated keyless | Social login at scale |
| Multi-asset faucet | Testnet UX |

## 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)

| Opportunity | Enabled By | Not Yet Built |
|-------------|------------|---------------|
| **Threshold custody** | PVSS + DKG | MPC wallets native to Aptos |
| **Private DEX** | Batch encryption | Dark pool AMM |
| **Quantum-safe vaults** | SLH-DSA | Long-horizon treasury |
| **Conditional orders** | Dead man's switch | Stop-loss native |
| **Gasless games** | Orderless txns | Web2-feel gaming |
| **Intent-based trading** | Encrypted mempool | Solver networks |

## Address Patterns

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

## Monitoring Commands

```bash
# 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

## GF(3) Classification

| Trit | Protocols |
|------|-----------|
| **PLUS (+1)** | New primitives, PVSS, batch encryption |
| **ERGODIC (0)** | Stable DEXs, lending, established LSDs |
| **MINUS (-1)** | Dying protocols, bytecode-incompatible |

## Detailed Evolution Analysis

### 🪦 Death Watch

| Protocol | Reason | Timeline |
|----------|--------|----------|
| **Tsunami Fi** | Already has `hallmarks: [[1704994608, "Tsunami Aptos sunsetting"]]` | DEAD |
| **Small AMMs** (Houston, Mosaic, Yuzu) | <$1M TVL, no differentiation | 6-12 months |
| **Non-v9 protocols** | Bytecode incompatibility | Immediate on upgrade |

### 🌱 Survival Indicators

| Signal | Good | Bad |
|--------|------|-----|
| **Multi-chain** | Echelon, Joule, Liquidswap | Single-chain only |
| **Move network support** | ✓ Movement, Initia | Aptos-only |
| **API key usage** | Cellana (rate limiting) | Open abuse |
| **function_view calls** | Modern Move patterns | Legacy aQuery |

### 🚀 v7.13.0 Opportunity Matrix

| New Capability | First Mover Opportunity | Incumbent Threat |
|----------------|------------------------|------------------|
| **Signed integers** | Fixed-point finance, PnL tracking | All lending (must update) |
| **PVSS/DKG** | MPC custody, threshold validators | Centralized custody |
| **Encrypted mempool** | Private RFQ, dark pools | DEX aggregators, MEV |
| **Orderless txns** | Gasless UX apps | High-gas protocols |
| **Dead man's switch** | Conditional orders native | CEX-style trading |
| **SLH-DSA** | Quantum-safe vaults | Long-term custody |

### Movement/Initia Fork Impact

Protocols with Movement support (will survive fork drain):
- **Echelon** - `0x6a01d5761d43a5b5a0ccbfc42edf2d02c0611464aae99a2ea0e0d4819f0550b5` (Movement)
- **Joule** - `0x6a164188af7bb6a8268339343a5afe0242292713709af8801dafba3a054dc2f2` (Movement)
- **Liquidswap** - `0x3851f155e7fc5ec98ce9dbcaf04b2cb0521c562463bd128f9d1331b38c497cf3` (Movement v0.5)

## Query Patterns by Protocol Type

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

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

### RWA Cross-chain Pattern
```javascript
const supply = res.find(i => i.type.includes('TokenData')).data.total_issued
api.add('ethereum:' + ETH_TOKEN_ADDR, supply, { skipChain: true })
```
