Aptos just set a new Burned Fee Allocation record

In the first week of August, $289.3K in fees were burned, the highest in the past year, and 3x the previous record!

What’s wild? Network activity and transaction counts didn’t spike, so this record likely comes from:

:one: More compute-heavy transactions than storage
:two: APT price swings boosting the USD value
:three: Failed transactions still consuming gas
:four: Dashboard reporting quirks or timing slices

:light_bulb: Key takeaway: Even without new activity, the burn reduces APT supply, strengthening the token’s scarcity and long-term value potential. It’s a subtle but powerful signal for the ecosystem​:rocket::fire:
