Aptos [APT], a layer 1 blockchain, has reached a significant milestone, recording 326 million daily transactions at press time—8.5 times more than Solana’s [SOL] daily transactions.

This achievement breaks Aptos' previous record of 156 million daily transactions set in May.

BREAKING: @AptosLabs records 326m+ daily transactions.

Breaks the previous record of 156m daily transactions.

Transactions are spiking due to @taposcat, a jump-to-earn game on Aptos. https://t.co/ePYIbEWzBO pic.twitter.com/GjoDdvYkwX

Reacting to the accomplishment, Avery Ching, co-founder and CTO of Aptos Labs, highlighted the significance of this milestone. Ching noted,

"This achievement more than doubles the previous record set…Web3 infrastructure is ready for the large-scale and novel use cases in the world."

The surge in network activity is attributed to Tapos Cat's new game, a popular click-to-earn game within the Telegram ecosystem. The second version of Tapos Cat alone contributed to over 500 million transactions in just three days, significantly boosting Aptos’ network activity.

Another record-breaking week for Aptos By the numbers:

12,492 peak TPS
326M+ user trxns
50M daily trxns
Processed 4.1K+ TPS on Aug. 15

Contributing to this was the launch of @taposcat's second game—which broke its record to surpass 500M transactions in just 3…

The team shared,

"Contributing to this was the launch of @taposcat’s second game—which broke its record to surpass 500M transactions in just 3 days."

The game had also driven the record transaction numbers in May, indicating that the Aptos DeFi ecosystem is poised for expansion and could potentially challenge Solana and Sui [SUI] chains.

For APT holders, the recent price action has seen the token retrace to a bullish order block and short-term support above $5.65 on the 12-hour chart. If market sentiment improves, APT could target a 14% gain, aiming for the $7 supply area.

The Stochastic RSI (Relative Strength Index) is currently in the oversold area, suggesting a potential price reversal. However, if short-sellers dominate, the $5 support level could become the next crucial target, as it is a key support on higher time-frame charts.
