Former Facebook employees have crafted a groundbreaking narrative in the world of blockchain with Aptos, a layer-1 platform that recently made waves by setting a new standard in transaction volumes.

On a remarkable day, May 25, Aptos outshone Solana by processing an astonishing 115.4 million transactions, leaving Solana's 31.7 million in the dust, as reported by Aptoscan.

This surge not only shattered previous benchmarks but also eclipsed Sui Network's L1 record by over 50%, showcasing Aptos' meteoric rise in adoption and the industry's momentum.

Aptoscan data revealed a peak of 32,000 transactions per second (TPS) on the same day, underscoring the platform's scalability and resilience in handling the burgeoning activity.

The recent surge in transactions can be attributed to the launch of Tapos Cat, a tap-to-earn game that swiftly captured the community's interest. Within a day, Tapos Cat processed a staggering 10 million transactions, fueling the platform's activity surge.

Critics have questioned Tapos Cat's long-term viability, citing concerns about its impact on metrics versus user value. However, proponents see it as a vital engineering feat, demonstrating Aptos' capabilities and setting the stage for future innovations.

In a strategic move, Aptos Labs welcomed global advisors, including David Lawee from Google, and announced a partnership with Atomrigs Lab for the T wallet launch in collaboration with SK Telecom.

While Solana boasts impressive speed, processing 91 million transactions in a day, Aptos' recent achievements signal a new era of innovation and growth in the blockchain landscape.
