Alt L1s like Sei, Sui, and Aptos are mounting a comeback, with double-digit weekly gains and rising on-chain activity. Sei launched parallel orderbooks for DeFi, Sui launched zk-login for native wallets, and Aptos rolled out gasless transactions for partner apps. These features solve real UX problems. TVLs are still modest—but growing fast. The key signal? GitHub repo count and developer grant allocation. Capital is following talent. If ETH gas spikes post-EIP4844 or Solana slows down, these L1s could steal flow. Short-term risk: sudden VC unlocks.
