Aptos, the most scalable and efficient Layer-1 blockchain, is powering the EXPO2025 DIGITAL WALLET. The wallet had massive user adoption after its migration to Aptos and network on January, 2025. This integration is a testament to Aptos’ ability to power the most demanding applications and showcases Aptos’ growing dominance in the blockchain ecosystem.
Aptos sets itself apart from other quickly-growing Layer-1 blockchains, backed by the Move programming language. Its architecture is built with a focus on scalability and efficiency that is meant to drive the next wave of financial systems. The blockchain’s Total Value Locked (TVL) remained around USD 1 billion since November 2024, conveying robust market confidence. Aptos does have some serious investors behind it, like a16z and Katie Haun. Other influential backers include Apollo Global Management, Binance Labs, Dragonfly, PayPal Ventures and Franklin Templeton Investments.
Within 48 hours of migrating to Aptos, the EXPO2025 DIGITAL WALLET was handling over 18,000 transactions per second. In the process, it generated 2,600 new accounts. As of April 21, the wallet has processed more than 558,000 transactions. It has gained over 133,000 new accounts since the migration. These numbers show the power of the blockchain to manage massive transaction volume and still perform.
"We are thrilled to witness such enthusiastic response from users following the WALLET's migration to Aptos." - Avery Ching, Co-Founder and CEO of Aptos Labs.
To complement this, the EXPO2025 DIGITAL WALLET has been produced as a diversified payment service friendly for use both in and outside the Expo site. As part of Expo 2023, it provides a digital platform for attendees to produce and gather Expo-exclusive NFTs. The wallet features proprietary MYAKU-MYAKU Rewards Program. This loyalty program incentivizes users with status, keeping users invested in their digital wallet and encouraging increased use.
Aptos’ cutting-edge technology enables extremely high throughput with low latency, making Aptos well-suited for the most robust applications that need fast and reliable transaction processing. With its easily-scalable infrastructure, it’s already seen by billions of users. This makes it uniquely qualified to be at the center of the next evolution of blockchain technology.
"This strong engagement demonstrates the confidence that users and partners have in us and the vast potential of the EXPO2025 DIGITAL WALLET, as well as the Aptos ecosystem. By collaborating with local enterprises and communities, the EXPO2025 DIGITAL WALLET is positioned at the forefront of blockchain innovation, serving as a bridge to Web3 for millions. We look forward to fostering innovation and growth continuously in both the Japanese and global markets." - Avery Ching, Co-Founder and CEO of Aptos Labs.
