Aptos exec sees Web 2.5 platforms earning ‘tons’ of revenue
Aptos is successfully integrating Web2 and Web3 technologies through hybrid platforms known as "Web2.5." This approach allows consumer-focused applications to thrive and generate significant revenue within the Aptos ecosystem. Web2.5 combines centralized Web2 experiences with decentralized Web3 elements, though it faces criticism for not fully embracing decentralization. Aptos aims to provide a user experience similar to Web2 while adhering to Web3 principles, focusing on broad consumer applications. A key challenge remains attracting non-crypto natives to the industry, with the need for innovative catalysts to drive mainstream adoption. Founders are encouraged to move beyond existing concepts like memecoins and NFTs to create new opportunities for growth.
