Aptos Achieves All-Time High in User Transactions
Aptos, a layer 1 blockchain platform developed by former Facebook employees, has achieved a new milestone in blockchain transactions. On May 25, it recorded 115.4 million transactions in one day, exceeding Solana’s 31.7 million.
The surge in trading volume set a new benchmark and surpassed the previous L1 record of over 65 million held by Sui Network by a significant margin of more than 50%.
According to Aptoscan, blockchain user TPS (transactions per second) on this day also reached an all-time high of 32,000. This represents a significant increase in activity within the blockchain ecosystem, highlighting the growing adoption and momentum in the industry.
The recent surge in trading activity on Aptos can be attributed to the launch of Tapos Cat, a new tap-to-profit game that quickly gained popularity. The game processed an impressive 10 million transactions within the first day of its mainnet launch, contributing significantly to the increased activity on the platform.
In the Tapos Cat game, users can earn $HEART tokens by ‘tickling’ a virtual cat, and the game structure facilitates multiple transactions. Additionally, the game offers a gas fee-free experience for the first 72 hours, encouraging players to join and enjoy the game at no additional cost.
Despite high transaction volumes, Aptos has maintained consistent gas fees and success rates. This reliability is made possible through the Aptos platform’s Aggregator feature, which processes multiple transactions simultaneously, ensuring a smooth and efficient user experience.

Helius Labs’ CEO has questioned the staying power and practical usefulness of Tapos Cat, questioning the game’s emphasis on click-and-buy interactions as a means of artificially inflating metrics rather than actually meeting user needs. I did.
Tapos Cat may seem to lack a clear purpose at first glance, but Aptos supporters argue that it serves as an important engineering project that demonstrates the robustness and scalability of the Aptos network and paves the way for future developments.
Aptos Labs continues to work to expand its mission to make decentralized assets accessible to billions of people. On May 9, the Aptos Labs team introduced new global advisors, including David Lawee, former vice president of corporate development at Google.
In November 2023, Aptos Labs and Atomrix Labs announced plans to launch T Wallet, a web3 wallet service, in collaboration with Korean telecom operator SK Telecom (SKT).
