Route 1 for multiple benefits
Route 2 for multiple benefits
Aptos public chain was built by some former members of Facebook’s blockchain team Diem, raising a total of 3.5 billion dollars. After a large airdrop on the testnet, the Aptos mainnet has been online for over a year and a half, and the ecology projects are becoming more mature, but most of them have not yet been issued.
How to layout for multiple benefits and maximize the interaction of Aptos ecology’s profits? This article takes stock of the major potential projects in the ecology, and provides detailed interactive paths.

Aries Markets
is the largest lending protocol on Aptos in terms of TVL, and it is also the largest protocol in all categories in terms of TVL.
It has qualified for incentive activities from the Aptos Foundation, and currently, borrowing zUSDT and zUSDC (USDT and USDC bridged by LayerZero) in the protocol can receive APT token subsidies, with considerable interest rates. In addition to receiving airdrops, it is also a good place for daily deposits and loans.
Aries Markets
has introduced a
point system
, where every dollar of assets deposited earns 1 point per day, and every dollar of assets borrowed earns 3 points per day. The participation method is simple and clear: to receive Aries airdrops, you need to first go to the
points page
to register, link your X (Twitter) account, and then participate in the protocol.
Registering with an invitation code provides a 10% bonus, after linking the account and setting it correctly, the page looks like this:
Since airdrops are point-based and enabling the point system requires linking the X account to filter out bots, it is recommended to use appropriate punctuation marks, and mass punctuation marks for low guarantees seem to be of little significance.
Amnis Finance
is a liquidity staking protocol on APT, where users can exchange APT 1:1 for amAPT that can be redeemed for an equivalent amount (after waiting for 1 month, or directly discounted by about 1% on a DEX), and further stake to receive staking rewards accumulating at the same time as wstETH.
Amnis Finance’s
retrospective airdrop event
is ongoing, with participation methods including:
Minting amAPT, staking stAPT
, each APT accumulates 1 point
Holding amAPT, stAPT in the wallet generates points hourly, with a total of 1 point per APT per month
Providing liquidity in amAPT-APT pairs on Pancake Swap or LiquidSwap, with amAPT in LP having a 3.5x multiplier compared to simply holding in the wallet (recommended LiquidSwap, not yet issued, tutorial to follow)
Lending stAPT to
Aries Markets
and other lending protocols, with a 1.2x points multiplier (Aries also offers point bonuses for stAPT)
Multiple ways to participate in Amnis Finance.
LiquidSwap is the first DEX on Aptos, and its project team Pontem Lumio has received financing of $10.5 million from well-known capital sources such as Mechanism, Lightspeed, Faction, and Aptos Foundation. It also developed Ethereum L2 Lumio and Aptos ecosystem wallet Pontem that supports the Move language. In other words, interacting with LiquidSwap airdrops may also receive airdrops from potential projects such as Lumio.
LiquidSwap has also launched an
airdrop registration page
, which requires registration to participate in airdrop events. In addition to the Aptos address, you can also connect EVM addresses and Solana addresses.
Its airdrop page emphasizes that trading activities on LiquidSwap will affect the specifications of the airdrop received. The official has set the following trading volume thresholds:
1-20$ – coke
20-50$ – socks
50-300$ – ledger
300 – 3000$ – Ticket to NBA
3000 – 6000$ – Vision pro
6000 – 30000$ – Vacation in the Bahamas
30000 – 100000$ – Cybertruck
100000 – 10000000$ – House
You can view your trading volume and tier level on the
Dashboard page
of LiquidSwap. The page also provides information on the amount of liquidity provided, total number of trades, whether you are an official NFT holder (expensive, not recommended to buy for airdrops), and the amount of MEME held.
After providing liquidity in the Pool on LiquidSwap, you can further stake in the Farm to receive incentives in APT and other tokens, with equally good returns.

Cellana is the largest Ve(3,3) model DEX on Aptos, having conducted token airdrops, but with expectations of further airdrops.
If you have played DeFi in the Aptos ecosystem before February 25 this year or crossed chains from LayerZero to Aptos between January 1 and February 25, go to
this page
to check if you are eligible for the airdrop.
Cellana’s airdrop is distributed in the form of veCELL NFT, which cannot be sold immediately and requires two years for full unlocking. However, it can be traded on the NFT secondary market, and you can also receive a 40% annualized voting reward weekly.
Cellana has previously conducted the second round of the first phase of airdrops, distributed to liquidity providers. The returns on LP on Cellana itself are also very high, worth a try.
Mint stAPT and deposit in Aries Markets, borrow APT. Convert about half of the APT into amAPT through LiquidSwap, provide liquidity in amAPT-APT pairs on LiquidSwap.
Deposit zUSDT/zUSDC in Aries Markets, borrow zUSDC/zUSDT, convert half of the borrowed stablecoin into another stablecoin on LiquidSwap, and provide liquidity in the stablecoin pair LP on Cellana.
