Aptos Labs unveils Event Driven Transactions, enabling scheduled on-chain automation for DeFi, TradFi, and real-world use cases.
Author: Chirag Sharma
September 6, 2025, Aptos Labs announced the rollout of Event Driven Transactions (EDTs), a new feature on the Aptos blockchain that allows users to schedule on-chain transactions at specific times. With Aptos already processing more than 115 million daily transactions, EDTs aim to streamline automation across decentralized and traditional finance. Built on the Move programming language and leveraging the Block-STM parallel execution engine. EDTs will support applications such as subscriptions, recurring payments, and tokenized asset management.
EDTs enable programmable scheduling for blockchain activity, opening new use cases across DeFi and beyond. Developers can build automated yield farming, loan repayments, and time-based token distributions without depending on external oracles.
For consumers, Aptos Event Driven Transactions (EDTs) simplify many processes. These are on-chain subscriptions for services, recurring payments, or NFT marketplace memberships. Real-world applications include tokenized real estate dividends and subscription-based financial products, supporting Aptos’ broader partnerships such as Mastercard’s on-chain identity initiatives.
By extending interoperability via LayerZero and Wormhole, Aptos ensures EDTs can integrate seamlessly with Ethereum and Solana ecosystems, allowing for cross-chain subscriptions and multi-network applications.
Automation has been a weak point for blockchain infrastructure. Many systems rely on centralized schedulers or third-party oracles, creating vulnerabilities in reliability and security.
Aptos Event Driven Transactions (EDTs) resolve this by embedding scheduling directly into the AptosBFT consensus. It is ensuring sub-second finality and decentralized execution. This approach reduces single points of failure while maintaining low-latency performance.
With Aptos’ total value locked doubling to $500 million in 2024, the addition of EDTs comes at a pivotal moment for scaling DeFi. By supporting Web2-like user experiences without compromising decentralization, Aptos positions itself as a leading platform for the next phase of adoption.
