While many crypto ecosystems are dedicated to decentralization as the main tenet of the web3, Aptos see success with hybrid platforms that mix web2 and web3 technologies, commonly referred to as “web2.5.”
In an interview at the event of token2049 in Dubai, the head of the Aptos ecosystem, Ash Pamati, told the cointelegraph that web2.5 platforms earned “ton of income” within the aptos. He noted that consumer -focused applications, in particular, have evolved the network.
Web2.5 is a term used to describe platforms or applications that blend centralized web2 experiences with decentralized web3 elements.
These applications will prevent full decentralization, often drawing criticism for not fully embrace The Web3 vision.
Web2.5 -focused platforms generate income in aptos
Pamtiti told Cointelegraph that one of the trends he sees inside the Aptos ecosystem is that the founders want to develop “great consumer experiences.”
He said the APTOS network was built to support projects with almost a web2 -like scale. Due to the origins of its meta, Aptos has a developer stack dedicated to abstracting friction far from the web3.
Pampong described it as more than a web2 user experience “without sacrificing the web3 principles.” He said the platforms that followed such models found success within the ecosystem:
“We see many good consumer web 2.5 consumer platforms emerging. Thus, those who focus on the distribution and those who focus on the fan’s loyalty also make up tons of revenues because they create great products.”
Pamtiti said the trend was primarily influenced by their developer stack and what the Aptos platform offers, focusing on extensive consumer applications.

The challenge of attracting the next million users
While web2.5 applications discuss some of the problems with the user experience for crypto and web3, Pamtiti said one of the challenges in space remains onboarding non -crypto indigenous people in the industry.
“I think the biggest challenge is trying to predict the next catalyst to pull the next million, 10 million Crypto users. I think there is a lot of tendency to go and revise old wars,” Pamtiti told Cointelegraph, adding that founders often returned to concepts such as Memecoins and invisible tokens (NFT).
However, he said, finding the next catalyst to spur a broader mainstream adoption will require the creation of a new one.
Pampati added that the cooperation and motivation of the founders “see through the corners and not just try to recreate what was created before” remains a challenge. He said the founders should be prepared for the next catalyst.
