This chart shows the percentage of the Aptos’ high-value users among all users performing a specific behavior.
A higher percentage indicates a strong correlation between the behavior and high user value.
Here are the critical behaviors that drive high value user development:
The Top Value-Creating Behaviors 
DeFi diversification (34% high-value rate: Users engaging in “Other DeFi activities” beyond basic swapping (lending, borrowing, staking) show the strongest correlation with high value.
NFT trading (31% high value rate): Active NFT tarders are highly likely to become valuable users.
Liquidity Provision (27% HVR): LP providers represent 95% of all high-value users.
Governance Participation (22% HVR): Though smaller in absolute numbers, governance voters show strong value correlation.
Intensity of Key Behaviors: High-value vs. All Users (Median)
Comparing the median activity levels for key metrics between high-value users and the overall user base highlighting the increased engagement of high-value users.
The High-Value Users Profile
High-value users(score 10+) average:
- 1,521 transactions vs. 16 for typical users(97x more active)
- 17.4 unique contracts vs. 1.2 for typical users(14x more diverse)
- 85.6 swaps vs. 2.4 for typical users(36x more trading)
- 16.3 LP additions vs. 0 for typical users
- 17.1 other DeFi activities vs. 0 for typical users
The Path to High-Value 
Key thresholds fpr progression:
Contract diversity: High-value users interact with 3x more contracts(median 3 vs. 1)
Transaction volume: 2.3x more transactions (9 vs. 4)
DeFi engagement: Any LP provision or advanced DeFi activity is a strong predictor.
Strategic Implications
The data shows that DeFi sophistication beats transaction volume as a predictor. Users doing complex DeFi activities(lending, borrowing, advanced staking) more valuable than high-frequency traders.
What matters most:
Ecosystem depth over breadth, using divers protocols
Capital commitment through LP provision
Advanced DeFi engagement beyond basic swapping
Community participation through governance
