Aptos Daily Transactions Hit 115 Million as Tap-to-Earn Game Drove 1.8 Million Wallets in 24 Hours
Aptos just printed a crazy throughput day and it was not spam, it was a game. Daily transactions hit 115 million this week after a tap-to-earn game drove 1.8 million new wallets in 24 hours, with peak 32k TPS sustained for 6 hours. Median fee stayed $0.0009, so $1 funded 1,100 taps. Active addresses hit 2.4 million daily, a record for any Move chain.
How it worked is simple. The game, Tapos 2, pays 1 token per tap, with proof posted every block. Each tap is 8 bytes of data via a tiny state update, so Aptos block of 2 seconds holds up to 64k taps. Users tap via Telegram mini app with Aptos keyless login, so no seed. Data shows 72% of users tapped over 100 times, 18% over 1k times, and one wallet hit 42k taps. The game spent $180k on gas for 115 million txs, or $0.0015 per 1k taps.
On-chain spill shows users stayed. DEX volume on Aptos rose to $280 million daily, with 42% from new wallets swapping game tokens to APT and USDC. Stablecoin supply rose $42 million in a week to $420 million, with USDT 68% of that. NFT mints tied to game skins hit $1.2 million daily. TVL rose $120 million as new users staked APT for 7.2% yield via liquid staking.
For traders, throughput proved chain can handle mass taps without halt, so risk discount fell. APT price added 4.8% week over week versus SOL up 2.1%. Perp open interest on APT rose $180 million, funding near 0.01% per 8h, so spot led. Short liquidations above $12 total $68 million.
Risk is still token math. Tap games inflate fast, and token fell 62% in 48 hours after TGE as 1.8 million sellers hit 12k buyers. Also, 115 million txs were low value, so sequencer profit was only $28k for the day despite record load. State growth rose 42 GB in a day, so node cost rose.
When a chain does 115 million txs in a day at $0.0009 and still finalizes in 2 seconds, infra has scale. That is why Aptos throughput story drew bids even as game token fell.
