Earlier this year, we announced that we have partnered with Aptos to provide our leading onchain analytics and data to their ecosystem. Today unlocks the first major milestone of this partnership with the launch of Aptos’ Growth Dashboard. This dashboard provides deep ecosystem insights that highlight the growth of the Aptos ecosystem!
Let’s dive deeper into this dashboard to learn more about the Aptos ecosystem.
What Are Ecosystem Growth Dashboards?
When we integrate a new chain within Nansen, one of the first steps of this partnership would be the launch of their ecosystem dashboard. This dashboard is free for anyone to view insights about the network: active addresses, daily transactions, the leading entities, and much more!
The Growth Dashboard provides users and developers with deep insights into the ecosystem, highlighting network growth and fostering a more informed and engaged community as anyone can see the trending dapps and what to do on the network.
Overview
Diving into Aptos’ Growth Dashboard, the first dashboards we see are Active Addresses, Transactions, Daily Deployments, and the Top 5 Entities.
- Active Addresses: this shows the number of addresses that have made a transaction over a given time period
- Transactions: the number of transactions and gas used over a given time period
- Daily Deployments: the number of contracts or tokens deployed on Aptos over a given time period
- Top 5 Entities: who are the leading entities by either users or transactions over a given time period
You can adjust these dashboards for different timeframes to give you the insights you need.

Over the past 6 months, what we see is that the number of addresses has more than doubled from 77,382 to 186,685 between 16th January to 8th July. Growth is also seen in the number of transactions made. While the number of contracts deployed on the network has been steady, showing a dedicated developer base building on the network.
Who Are The Leading Entities On Aptos?
The other section within Aptos’ Growth Dashboard focuses on the entities on the network. This is a great place to see what’s happening onchain and what dapps to explore based on your interests. To do this, you can simply apply a filter, like “Finance,” to see all the DeFi-related activity on the network.

What we discover is that over the past 30 days, at the time of writing, is that Echelon Market and Topaz have seen a surge in new users, while other dapps have had a slight decline, likely due to market conditions. We can also see that despite a slight drop in users, Amnis Finance has seen an increase in transactions implying that there’s an increase in product market first.
Therefore, if you’re interested in DeFi on Aptos, you may want to use our Growth Dashboard to uncover what dapps to use. If they have a low amount of users, you may leverage this to be “early adopters”, or you may want to look for the market leaders to get started with the sector.
When we look at all the top entities by transactions in the Aptos ecosystem over the past 7 days, we see a mix of community, infrastructure, and finance, showing how diverse the network is.
