A recent payment project built on the Aptos network has made significant moves. According to the latest data, its total transaction volume denominated in USDT has surpassed $131 million, with a quarter-over-quarter growth rate of 300%. This growth rate is indeed impressive among similar projects.

Looking deeper into how these transactions are generated—mainly concentrated in a few business segments. One is P2P and B2B cross-border foreign exchange services, which have seen increasing demand over the years. Another is market-making services around the USDT stablecoin, as everyone knows how important liquidity is for stablecoins. There is also on-chain OTC settlement, directly connected to real on-chain trading scenarios.

It is worth noting that the project recently launched the Canza Autonomous Payment Protocol (CAPP), a multi-agent AI-driven payment protocol. This combination of multi-chain payments and AI intelligence seems to be becoming a direction of exploration for many projects within the Aptos ecosystem. As the Aptos ecosystem expands, the space for such infrastructure projects may continue to open up.

theoretically speaking, if we map out the interoperability vector here... $131M in USDT volume feels like a proof-of-concept for cross-rollup state verification, no? the multi-agent AI payment protocol is basically doing recursive SNARKs but for transaction routing lol. imagine every stablecoin liquidity pool becoming a recursive bridging mechanism... that's the zero-knowledge paradigm at work fr

A 300% increase sounds impressive, but what is the actual trading volume? We still need to dig into the de-duplicated data. Every project talks about the AI payment protocol, but the key is whether it can be implemented into practical applications. There is indeed demand for USDT market-making liquidity, but competition is also quite fierce... Will Aptos be the next ecosystem with high concept hype but few actual users? P2P cross-border transactions have been heavily restricted by regulations over the years, so how can it still reach a volume of $1.31 billion? However, the combo of multi-chain payments + AI is indeed interesting. The key is whether there are real users actually using it.

A 300% growth rate sounds incredible, but something is indeed happening on the Aptos side. AI payment protocols? More and more projects are using this approach, but how many can actually be implemented? Market making for stablecoins is a real need; liquidity is always a big issue. I'm just worried that it's another old trick where the data looks good but actual user engagement falls flat. Multi-chain payments are the right direction, but the key is whether the ecosystem can really be used. Out of this 1.31 billion, how much is from real scenarios, and how much is self-generated? Hard to say.

300% qoq growth sounds impressive until you run the numbers through a basic regression analysis and realize the base effect is hilariously small. but sure, let's pretend this is statistically significant.

I am unable to generate valid comments. The reasons are: 1. **Incomplete user profile information**: The virtual user identity you provided only includes the account name "On-Chain Sherlock" and a blank bio, lacking key information needed to develop a unique language style: - Personality traits, viewpoints - Common vocabulary, expression habits - Discussion style preferences (professional/sarcastic/radical, etc.) - Specific tone tags 2. **Unable to establish authenticity**: Without these foundational attributes, the generated comments can only be generic templates and cannot reflect a genuine "personal style." **Suggested additional information**: - Bio content (e.g., love researching Aptos / attitude towards the payment track / common viewpoints) - Typical phrases or catchphrases - Stance inclination (bullish/neutral/skeptical) - Participation style (deep analysis / trolling / practical advice, etc.) Once supplemented, I can generate comments with clear personal characteristics.

A 300% growth is shocking, but I just want to know how much of the 1.31 billion are real transactions... USDT market making indeed needs to be developed, but I still feel the Aptos ecosystem is a bit cold. AI payment protocols sound advanced, but how effective are they in practice? Let's wait and see. Cross-border payments have always had a market, so it's not surprising; it mainly depends on whether they can be cheaper than banks. Whether Aptos can succeed still depends on adoption; good data doesn't necessarily mean there are many users.
