Aptos Fee Surge: Who’s Driving the Chain?
In the past 24 hours, Aptos fee paid soared past $300K, hitting a peak of $323,012 — one of the highest single-day figures in recent weeks. 
But who’s fueling this momentum? Let’s break it down:
KGeN_IO leads the pack, generating a massive $170,400 in fees — a dominant 52% of total daily gas. That’s not just activity — that’s demand-based conviction.
Following KGeN, here’s how other top platforms ranked by gas fees in the last 24 hours:
Hyperion_xyz— $32,800 in fees, reflecting solid user engagement around prediction markets.
PancakeSwap (Aptos)— $31,600, showing DeFi swaps are still very much alive.
EchelonMarket— $28,000 from NFT trades and listings.
AriesMarkets— $22,000, driven by lending/borrowing activity.
These fee stats reflect more than just transactions — they signal user engagement, real liquidity flows, and demand for blockspace.
Aptos isn’t just moving blocks — it’s monetizing them at scale. When fees rise organically, it’s not noise — it’s signal.
Keep your eyes on platforms with real traction — that’s where value will consolidate.
