ONE GAME CAUSES APTOS TRANSACTIONS TO SURGE 1,466% IN THREE DAYS

- The 7-day moving average of user transactions on Aptos skyrocketed to 47 million at the end of May, up from under 1 million at the start of the month, driven by the game "Tapos."

- "Tapos," a clicker game where each click executes a transaction, led to a surge in transactions, with un-averaged numbers reaching 156 million. Players earn HEART tokens by clicking, despite paying a minimal gas fee.

- Active addresses on @Aptos saw a significant increase, climbing from 61,000 in early May to over 150,000 by month's end, correlating with the game's launch.

- Launched in October 2022 from Facebook’s Libra initiative, Aptos is marketed as an easy-to-build-on alternative to @Solana and is the 17th largest network by total value locked, boasting collaborations with major partners like Microsoft and Google Cloud.

- The "Tapos" campaign ended on May 26, resulting in over 323 million transactions and 63,000 users in a few days. Post-campaign, transaction averages started to decline, highlighting the temporary nature of the game's impact on Aptos's transaction volume.
