Aptos’ technologies are making real-world inroads, evident in its role powering the digital wallet for World Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan. Just one week after the Expo opened on April 13th, the Aptos-based wallet saw impressive user engagement: over 558,000 on-chain transactions and more than 133,000 new accounts created, showcasing its ability to perform at scale.

Aptos-powered wallet is designed with no prior blockchain knowledge needed, making it easy for visitors to collect unique NFT “soulbound” passport stamps as digital souvenirs from different pavilions, with simple onboarding. Early feedback from visitors highlights this user-friendliness, even for those new to Web3.

This Expo integration provides Aptos with crucial real-world validation on a global stage. As founders in the Aptos Horizon accelerator noted, the sheer scale of the Expo, with large national pavilions that will attract millions, makes it an ideal setting to powerfully demonstrate Aptos’s capabilities.

Aptos is also making a broad presence felt across Osaka. A joint ad campaign with partner HashPort is running at the city’s main train station for high visibility. Concurrently, the Aptos Horizon accelerator launched at Osaka Innovation Hub (OIH), backed by partners like NTT West, with ten projects building Expo-related blockchain tools.

Aptos’ activities in Japan extend beyond the Expo grounds. A joint advertisement with partner HashPort is currently on exhibition at Osaka Main Station, marking one of the project’s most visible public placements.

The opening ceremony for the Aptos Horizon program took place at the Osaka Innovation Hub (OIH), supported by partners including NTT West, AngelHack, and OIH Osaka. Moreover, ten projects participating in the accelerator are expected to develop blockchain-based tools aligned with Expo goals.

The Expo is set to continue until the end of October 2025, providing ample time for Aptos to showcase the scalability and accessibility of its blockchain services.
