Aptos has achieved a significant milestone in blockchain transactions, outperforming Solana by processing 96.6 million transactions in a single day, surpassing Solana's 31.7 million transactions.

This notable increase in transaction volume sets a new record in the Layer 1 blockchain sector, exceeding the previous record set by Sui Network by over 50%.

Factors Driving Aptos' Transaction Surge

The rise in transaction activity on Aptos can be attributed to the launch of a new interactive game called Tapos Cat. This game has swiftly gained popularity, processing 10 million transactions on its debut day on the mainnet.

Tapos Cat allows users to earn $HEART tokens by engaging in activities like 'tickling' a virtual cat. The game structure encourages multiple transactions, with no gas fees charged during the initial 72 hours of gameplay.

Furthermore, Aptos has maintained stable gas fees and success rates despite the high transaction frequency. This stability is facilitated by the Aggregator feature on the Aptos platform, enabling simultaneous execution of multiple transactions.

This technical capability has played a crucial role in managing increased network load without compromising performance.

Evaluation and Defense of Novel Transaction Models

While the introduction of Tapos Cat has garnered mixed reactions, with some expressing skepticism about its long-term value, supporters of Aptos emphasize the importance of innovation and the expertise of the company's team. They argue that Tapos Cat, despite initial doubts about its utility, serves as a significant technical achievement that showcases the scalability and resilience of the Aptos network.

By achieving substantial transaction volumes without escalating gas fees or encountering transaction failures, the game demonstrates the network's capacity for large-scale operations.

In the midst of these developments, Aptos (APT) has experienced a bullish trend in the past 24 hours, with APT trading at $9.05, reflecting a 1.46% increase from the day's low. In contrast, Solana (SOL) has faced challenges, failing to surpass the $170 resistance level and trading at $167, down 0.96% from the intra-day peak at the time of reporting.
