We’ll explore the Aptos ecosystem and the various activities you can undertake within it. As you may know, Aptos has conducted only one airdrop at its launch, with 51% of its total token supply allocated for the community.
Currently, Aptos actively allocates tokens for ecosystem projects within the blockchain, and it’s quite possible that users will also receive some reward for their activity. Few people engage in these activities, as the story with second drops seems murky and unprofitable to many. Remember, the blockchain has $350M in investments, so there’s definitely enough money for development.
Let’s go through the activities:
- Register an ANS domain (https://www.aptosnames.com/) (Costs 1 $APT) – seems to be an official product of Aptos. It’s important not only to register but also to use it a bit (Remember the story with ENS).
- Use Liquidswap (https://liquidswap.com/#/) – DeFi with the largest investments in this blockchain ($10.5M (https://cryptorank.io/ico/pontem#funding-rounds)) a) Make swaps, increase volume b) Add liquidity (https://liquidswap.com/#/pools) c) Use the Bridge (https://bridge.liquidswap.com/) (Works through L0) d) Stake Aptos (https://liquidswap.com/#/aptos-staking), minimum 10 $APT. Note that this is not just activity on Liquidswap, but you are also delegating tokens to official validators.
- Stake Aptos in Amnis Finance’s liquid staking – minimum 0.1 $APT
- Trade on Merkle Trade – a decent perp on Aptos, trading here immediately earns you project tokens (Not points), you need $USDC for trading
- Use Lending (https://ariesmarkets.xyz/) – usually, I lend Aptos there and borrow USDC, just right for trading on Merkle. Just exchanging a lot of Aptos on Liquidswap for stablecoins will result in significant losses on commissions
- Buy and sell NFTs on Mercato (https://www.mercato.xyz/) or BlueMove (https://bluemove.net/)
It wouldn’t hurt to accumulate unique days, weeks, months, and you can check your account statistics here (https://wenser.vercel.app/check/aptos). Also, if possible, leave 1 $APT in your balance, although in reality, this is a silly criterion for a sweep since you don’t need that much Aptos because the chain’s commissions are free, but I’d rather be safe than sorry.
Overall, these are all the activities I’m engaged in here. If you have anything to share, welcome to the comments. The post turned out quite well, and personally, I decided to make quality accounts in many good blockchains (Since $DYM dropped tokens not only for EVM activity but also for Solana).
