Blockchain has always promised the potential to unlock new use cases, but Tapos has truly showcased its potential in gaming.

Building on the legacy of CryptoKitties, Tapos is the next chapter in fully on-chain gaming, making it easier than ever for developers to create immersive experiences. Making this all possible is Aptos, which provides Tapos with unparalleled capabilities like social login and on-chain randomness.

A Historic Launch

Tapos made waves with its initial game launch on May 23, in which users could “tickle” a cat. Each tickle resulted in a transaction on the Aptos network (one tickle = one transaction). This led to a record-breaking weekend with Aptos recording ~325 million transactions over four days, sustaining over 2,200 transactions per second (TPS) for more than 24 hours and peaking at 5,000 TPS—all with an average gas cost of just 0.000008 APT.

TaposCat 2: A New Chapter

Building on its success, Tapos introduced its second game in August complete with new features such as Super Cat mode, Mystery Boxes, reward chests and social tasks to further enhance player engagement. Each step the cat takes counts as a transaction, and players can now complete Cat Missions, adding more depth to the gameplay. Tapos’ second game continued to push boundaries, resulting in 533 million transactions over just three days, onboarding over 20,000 blockchain accounts and the network sustaining a peak TPS of 12,000 with an average gas price of 0.00008 APT. At the game’s peak, the Aptos network recorded over 326 million transactions over a 24-hour period—all while maintaining an average TPS of 5K, further showcasing Aptos' scalability.

Why Tapos Chose Aptos

Tapos has found a natural home on Aptos—not only because of its cutting-edge technology—but also due to the vibrant community that has embraced it. The strong support from Aptos Labs, which has been instrumental in providing technical support to projects within the ecosystem, was a significant factor in Tapos' decision to deploy on Aptos. As Tapos noted, the Aptos Labs team "know their job and have done fantastic work so far," making it an ideal platform for their on-chain gaming revolution.

The Future of On-Chain Gaming

Tapos isn't just another blockchain game; it's the first fully on-chain game of its kind. With its advanced capabilities, Aptos has enabled Tapos to seamlessly handle millions of transactions and onboard tens of thousands of users, proving that blockchain technology can meet the ambitions first seen with games like CryptoKitties.

As the first fully on-chain game, Tapos embodies a new era of blockchain gaming with efficiency and scalability. Tapos’ two-time success is a testament to Aptos' readiness to onboard billions of users, making it the go-to blockchain for the future of gaming. With record-breaking transactions and TPS in just three days, Tapos is setting the stage for what's possible in blockchain gaming.
