Inside the blockchain
🌐What happened: The Aptos network achieved 2 billion total transactions earlier this week, according to onchain data. The network also saw 1.1 million daily active addresses, up about 28% month-over-month, Artemis data shows.
🌐Why does it matter: In 2024, Aptos announced a number of integrations with NBC Universal, Tether, BlackRock, Bitwise and Stripe, to name a few. In addition, the network saw an emergence of web3 games, most notably Tapos Cat contributed to Aptos’ record-breaking 326 million daily transactions - the most of any L1.
Daily active addresses and total transactions are important metrics to look out for as we start the new year because it shows that the network has been able to sustain relevance throughout its tenure. In addition, partnerships and integrations from globally recognized brands can help an ecosystem onboard new users. In turn, this spreads awareness for how blockchain technology is useful even in everyday activities.
Two billion total transactions is a noteworthy milestone for any network. For Aptos, it can signal a healthy level of adoption from DeFi developers and users alike.
🌐The big picture: Heading into 2025, the Aptos ecosystem looks to increase its users and potential developers by providing as many resources it can to ecosystem projects, Aptos Labs’ Ecosystem Success Manager Alix Musset outlined in a recent interview.
If Aptos continues to reach new onchain milestones and secure more valuable partnerships, the network could expand its reach in mainstream adoption for digital finance.
