Abstract

• In terms of TPS data, Sui’s theoretical performance is higher. However, Aptos generally has lower transaction fees, while Sui’s Gas fees can be relatively higher in certain transaction scenarios.
• By the end of 2024, Sui’s monthly active users reached 8.3 million, while Aptos reached 10 million, with Aptos’ daily active users continuously growing, demonstrating higher user stickiness.

• Sui’s TVL peaked at $2.3 billion in 2024, while Aptos reached a peak of $1.3 billion in December 2024.
• Sui reached a daily transaction peak of 58.4 million transactions in 2024, while Aptos set a single-day transaction record of 326 million transactions in August 2024.
• Sui set a daily Gas fee income record of $160,000, while Aptos’ highest record was $100,000. Additionally, Aptos’ daily average Gas fee income in 2024 was consistently at a lower level.

• By January 10, 2025, Sui’s net capital inflows in the past year reached $1.16 billion, while Aptos experienced a net outflow of $3.5 million.

• In 2024, SUI’s price performance was strong, with a full-year increase of 500%, repeatedly breaking historical highs. In contrast, APT’s price growth was more moderate, with the price even retreating at the end of the year and failing to set new historical highs.
• Aptos’ ecosystem projects (187) significantly outnumbered Sui’s (86). Sui’s users are mainly concentrated in areas like social and gaming, and it briefly attracted some capital through Meme coins, but the enthusiasm did not last. Aptos, on the other hand, focused on RWA and BTCFi, attempting to expand its ecosystem by introducing more assets.
