The blockchain platform Aptos, created by ex-Facebook staff, has reached a new milestone in blockchain transactions. On May 25, it set a new record by processing 115.4 million transactions in a single day, surpassing Solana's 31.7 million transactions.

This surge in transaction volume not only broke the previous record held by Sui Network but also exceeded it by more than 50%. Aptoscan reported that the platform's transactions per second (TPS) hit an all-time high of 32,000 on the same day, indicating a significant rise in blockchain activity and showcasing the industry's increasing adoption and momentum.

The recent spike in transactional activity on Aptos is credited to the launch of Tapos Cat, a new game that allows users to earn $HEART tokens by interacting with a virtual cat. Within its first day, the game processed an impressive 10 million transactions, contributing substantially to the platform's increased activity.

Tapos Cat's gameplay encourages multiple transactions and offers a gas-fee-free experience for the initial 72 hours, enticing players to engage without additional costs. Despite the high transaction volume, Aptos has maintained stable gas fees and success rates, thanks to its Aggregator feature that efficiently processes multiple transactions simultaneously, ensuring a smooth user experience.

The CEO of Helius Labs has raised concerns about Tapos Cat's sustainability and practicality, questioning its focus on click-and-buy interactions to boost metrics artificially rather than genuinely meeting user needs. While some may question Tapos Cat's purpose, Aptos supporters argue that it serves as a crucial project showcasing the Aptos network's strength and scalability, setting the stage for future advancements.

Aptos Labs remains dedicated to its goal of enabling billions to access decentralized assets. Recently, the team introduced new global advisors, including David Lawee, Google's former VP of corporate development. In collaboration with Atomrigs Lab, Aptos Labs announced plans in November 2023 to launch a Web3 wallet service, T wallet, in partnership with South Korean telecom giant SK Telecom (SKT).
