Aptos, an L1 blockchain protocol created by former employees of Facebook and Google, processed 115.4 million transactions on May 25. This marked a new high, doubling the previous record set by Sui Network in August 2023.

Data from Aptoscan indicates that the platform’s transaction rate surpassed 32,000 transactions per second (TPS). Despite the significant load, the blockchain network sustained a high success rate and minimal gas fees. This efficiency was facilitated by the Aggregator feature, which enables the simultaneous processing of multiple transactions, ensuring the network operates effectively.

The introduction of the Tapos Cat Web3 game, which allows users to earn HEART tokens, served as a trigger for heightened user engagement on the network. To encourage active participation in the game, developers waived network fees during the initial 72 hours following the game’s launch. Consequently, on the first day post-launch, Tapos Cat users generated over 10 million transactions.

The mechanics of Tapos Cat and the developers’ strategy for user acquisition raised concerns among certain members of the crypto community. Mert Mumtaz, CEO of Helius Labs, accused the Tapos Cat developers of artificially inflating metrics, labeling the game’s mechanics as “earn a shitcoin.” However, supporters of Aptos contend that Tapos Cat represents a significant engineering endeavor that showcases the robustness and of the Aptos network.

Research from CoinGecko indicates that Solana is the fastest L1 network, with a theoretical maximum speed of 65,000 TPS. In contrast, Solana’s recorded peak was 1,504 transactions per second (TPS).

Recently, marketers from the blockchain network Algorand released a promotional video highlighting the primary weaknesses of the largest L1 protocols: high fees, frequent outages, and slow transaction processing speeds.
