Aptos ’Community Takeover’ Sparks Dev Frenzy—Proof That Decentralization Actually Works (Sometimes)
Aptos developers are flooding back to the network after its grassroots ’Community Takeover’—turns out people like building where they have a say. Who knew?
From Ghost Chain to Growth Chain

Core protocol commits up 170%. Daily active wallets doubled. Even the token price—usually as lively as a SEC commissioner at a Bitcoin conference—popped 40%. All because devs finally got to vote on treasury spends without a 12-month ’governance workshop.’
