Inside the blockchain
🌐What happened: The Aptos network is seeing increased user activity with over 19.8 million daily transactions during the past week, nearing almost 2 billion total transactions, according to Flipside data. The network also has 3.2 million active accounts, up about 19% month-over-month, Aptos explorer shows.
🌐Why does it matter: Aptos has announced a number of partnerships recently with organizations like NBC, KYD Labs, and Tether.
Additionally, Tapos Cat launched its new tap-to-earn game on Aptos last month, which contributed to the network’s record-breaking 48.5 million daily transactions.
This year, Aptos has seen steady growth across the network in terms of daily active users and daily transactions. This sustained increase is arguably fueled by new partnerships and innovations, as well as teams ramping up development on top of the protocol.
The network has seen $1.9 million in volume this past week, according to Flipside data. In general, as more developers and users explore opportunities to build or engage across the broader crypto ecosystem, strong metrics like these can entice new users and bring more growth to Aptos.
🌐The big picture: Historically, developers and users move to where the activity and growth is.
If Aptos continues to sustain its current transaction volume, which it historically has been able to, it can be one of the go-to networks for existing developers and new entrants into the ecosystem alike.
