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.
