Aptos Surpasses Transaction Records with Tapos Cat Launch

Aptos, a layer-1 blockchain platform, recently set a new record in transactional activity, surpassing Solana with 115.4 million transactions in a single day on May 25th. This milestone represents a significant increase compared to Solana's 31.7 million transactions. The surge in activity is attributed to the launch of Tapos Cat, a tap-to-earn game that quickly gained popularity within the blockchain community. Tapos Cat, which allows users to earn $HEART tokens by interacting with a virtual cat, processed an impressive 10 million transactions on its first day on the mainnet. Despite concerns raised by some industry experts regarding the game's long-term utility, supporters argue that it showcases Aptos' scalability and sets the stage for future innovations on the platform. Additionally, Aptos Labs recently announced new global advisors, including David Lawee, a former executive at Google, demonstrating its commitment to expanding access to decentralised assets.
