Layer-1 blockchain ecosystem Aptos is gearing up for a new collaboration with nft marketplace Rarible as the network sees a surge in daily transactions.
Aptos (APT), a layer-1 blockchain network based on the proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, is set to collaborate with Rarible, a non-fungible token marketplace, to achieve what the blockchain describes as a “game-changer” for both platforms.
In a forum post On August 22, an Aptos Foundation global community manager under the alias “Angel” hinted that Rarible could soon add support for the network, which would provide the potential for “new nft use cases leveraging Aptos technology.”
“Whether it’s a full market launch or another form of collaboration, this announced partnership between Rarible and Aptos is definitely something worth keeping an eye on!”

Rarible, which already supports networks like ethereum, Base, and Celo, has not yet integrated Aptos, according to its FAQ page. However, the marketplace x.com/rarible/status/1826296516832612760″ target=”_blank” rel=””>He has also hinted in a possible collaboration with Aptos on their social media, although the details remain unclear.
The news of the potential partnership coincides with an unprecedented surge in activity on the Aptos network. On August 14, daily transactions on the blockchain nearly hit 144 million, according to data from Aptoscan. While the reason for this increase is still unclear, it marks a significant uptick in on-chain activity.
The surge in activity came just days before Tether announced that its U.S. dollar-pegged (USDT) stablecoin would soon be available on the Aptos network. While the exact launch date remains undisclosed, Tether highlighted Aptos’ “strong developer community” and “extremely low gas fees” as the main reasons for the move.
Tether highlighted that Aptos’ low transaction costs make it “economically viable for a broader range of use cases, from microtransactions to large-scale enterprise operations.”
