The Aptos Foundation has officially disclosed the first five DeFi protocols chosen for its Liquid Funding Model (LFM): Aries Markets, Amnis Finance, PACT, Echo Protocol, and Hyperion. This marks a significant step forward in Aptos’ native DeFi ecosystem, particularly regarding token generation events (TGEs) and infrastructure development.

- Amnis Finance: Leading Aptos liquid staking platform, managing more than $178 million TVL and serving over 417,000 staking users; its innovative liquid staking products amAPT and stAPT have significantly enhanced Aptos’ token liquidity, and it was the first LFM participant to achieve a TGE (March 2024).
- PACT Protocol: Global lending market infrastructure supporting more than $1 billion in chain assets, helping drive institutional-grade DeFi adoption.
- Echo Protocol: Aptos’ first Bitcoin-yield protocol built on MoveVM; manages more than $200 million through its aBTC liquid staking utility, bridging BTC liquidity to Aptos assets.
- Hyperion: A hybrid order-book/AMM DEX leveraging Aptos’ high-performance blockchain, offering superior trading experiences for both professional and retail users.
The LFM initiative significantly strengthens Aptos’ support for quality DeFi projects, providing systematical support at crucial TGE stages and solidifying Aptos’ position as a pivotal DeFi hub among emerging blockchains.
