Aptos sets new revenue record: daily fee income exceeds one million USD, and ecosystem real activity continues to rise

【Blockchain Rhythm】Aptos’s recent performance has attracted much attention. According to DeFiLlama data, this public chain has consecutively broken its on-chain application revenue records for two weeks. Specifically, from December 22 to 28, Aptos generated approximately $1.65 million in revenue, and in the following week (December 29 to January 4, 2026), this number further jumped to $1.75 million. More impressively, on December 31, Aptos’s single-day fee revenue reached $1.07 million, setting a new historical high.

These fees mainly come from three sources: transaction fees, protocol fees, and other application-level monetization. This set of indicators is often regarded as an important window to measure the real usage and economic activity of a blockchain. Behind the continuously rising revenue data, it reflects a noteworthy shift — Aptos’s network activity is gradually evolving from an early reliance on short-term incentives to a new stage based on actual application utility and sustainable commercial monetization. In other words, various applications within the ecosystem are no longer solely maintained by subsidies to keep the heat, but are attracting users by providing real value, and the intrinsic quality of ecosystem development is steadily improving.
