Aptos became the first non-EVM chain to receive Sushi’s support.
Among the blockchain’s strengths, DEX representatives highlighted the Move programming language. On its basis, the platform will launch an automated market maker.
In addition, the exchange will configure the cross-chain-swaps service, SushiXswap.
According to Token Terminal, the number of Aptos developers has fallen by 35% over the past year. The project currently involves 67 people.
According to CoinGecko, over the past week Aptos’ market capitalization declined by almost $100 million to $1.15 billion. Meanwhile, total value locked in the protocol amounts to $45.7 million, and 24-hour trading volume reached $434,000.
The integration has not significantly affected the token prices of both projects. At the time of writing, SUSHI trades at $0.565, and APT at $5.
Earlier in August, Aptos developers announced the launch of Aptos Digital Asset standard tokens, which offer “unparalleled flexibility, composability and scalability”.
Earlier the blockchain launched the delegated staking feature, which makes the process “more accessible and user-friendly”.
