$APT Breakdown: Where the money comes from, where it goes, and what gives it value

【Issuance mechanism】Launched in 2022 (by the former Meta Diem team); no hard cap, with annual inflation of about 7% (declining year by year).

【Revenue / sources of value】A Move-language L1 with high throughput and parallel execution (Block-STM); value = Move ecosystem + institutional appeal.

【Burn mechanism】Some transaction fees are burned.

【Essence of the model】A PoS public blockchain led by Aptos Labs—a relaunched blockchain with Meta DNA.

In a nutshell: A relaunched blockchain with Meta DNA; bullish = Move’s security model + institutional adoption, bearish = selling pressure from token unlocks + an early-stage ecosystem.
