Aptos Blockchain Sets New Transaction Record
Aptos, a layer-1 blockchain platform developed by former Facebook employees, has recently achieved a remarkable milestone in blockchain transactions. On May 25, Aptos surpassed Solana by recording an impressive 115.4 million transactions in a single day, far exceeding Solana’s 31.7 million, as reported by Aptoscan.
Record-Breaking Transaction Volume
The surge in transaction volume on Aptos not only shattered previous records but also surpassed the L1 record of over 65 million held by Sui Network by an impressive margin of over 50%. This exponential growth in transactional activity highlights the platform’s increasing adoption and the industry’s overall momentum.
Scalability and User Activity
According to data from Aptoscan, the blockchain’s user TPS (transactions per second) reached an all-time high of 32,000 on the same day, showcasing the platform’s scalability and robustness. This significant increase in activity within the blockchain ecosystem signifies the growing interest in Aptos.
Tapos Cat Game Impact
The recent surge in transactional activity on Aptos can be attributed to the launch of Tapos Cat, an innovative tap-to-earn game that has rapidly gained popularity. Within its first day on the mainnet, Tapos Cat processed a staggering 10 million transactions, contributing significantly to the increased activity on the platform.
- Tapos Cat offers users the opportunity to earn $HEART tokens by engaging in ‘tickling’ a virtual cat, encouraging multiple transactions within the game.
- The game provides a gas-fee-free experience for the first 72 hours, incentivizing players to participate without incurring additional costs.
Debates on Tapos Cat’s Viability
While some critics question Tapos Cat’s long-term viability and practical utility, proponents of Aptos argue that the game serves as a crucial engineering project, showcasing the network’s scalability and robustness.
Aptos’s Ongoing Developments
In a strategic move, the Aptos Labs team has introduced a group of global advisers, including David Lawee, former vice president of corporate development at Google. Additionally, collaborations with Atomrigs Lab and plans for the launch of T wallet, a Web3 wallet service in partnership with SK Telecom (SKT), demonstrate Aptos’s commitment to innovation and growth.
Solana’s Impressive Transaction Speed
Solana, known for being one of the fastest large blockchains, processed a remarkable 91 million transactions in a single day. On April 6, Solana achieved a record-breaking daily average of 1,504 transactions per second (TPS) during the memecoin frenzy, showcasing its speed and efficiency.
Comparison with Other Blockchains
Solana’s processing speed surpasses Ethereum by 46 times and Polygon by over 5 times, making it a standout performer in the blockchain space. Despite its speed, Solana has only reached 1.6% of its theoretical maximum speed of 65,000 TPS.
It is important to note that Ethereum scaling solutions and layer 2 solutions have yet to surpass other layer 1 blockchains in terms of real processing speed, potentially due to lower on-chain transactions leading to slower realized TPS for these blockchains.
