The platform’s features allow gamers to immerse themselves in a multifaceted experience, from supporting their eSports players through non-fungible token (NFT) purchases to gaining exclusive access to games, meet-and-greets, and interviews with gaming idols. This Web 2.5 approach creates an inclusive environment where game enthusiasts can interact and connect with their characters.
Amid news of the partnership, Aptos’s native token (APT) has risen 2.7% over the past 24 hours, reaching a price of $9.38. Trading volumes of tokens also increased by 7.4% to $164.9 million at the time of writing.

In addition to cooperation with STAN, in November 2023, the decentralized exchange Sushi announced the integration of the Aptos blockchain for scalability, security, and improved user experience.
