Aptos is a new oasis for DeFi on the chain. How can your on-chain activities 'grow' value?
As a Layer 1 public chain, Aptos is renowned for its high throughput and low latency. Since its launch, it has made significant strides in the DeFi space. Just think about it, @Aptos's Move language makes smart contracts safer, and the speed of on-chain transactions is lightning-fast, providing fertile ground for projects like APTreeio. @APTreeio is essentially an ecological project aimed at simplifying the entry threshold for DeFi. It doesn't just have you passively hold tokens, but instead visualizes and narrates your DeFi activities through the form of an NFT tree. Imagine, instead of a pile of cold, hard assets in your wallet, you have an NFT that grows from a seed into a towering tree, evolving based on your on-chain behavior. This is not only fun but also encourages newcomers to start with simple tasks and gradually delve deeper into Aptos's DeFi world.
Everything in APTreeio starts from a 'seed'. The seed is a type of NFT that users acquire through airdrops or the market, and then 'plant' it. After planting, the tree needs to be 'watered' regularly, and the droplets come from your DeFi activities. For instance, providing liquidity on Aptos earns 500 droplets, borrowing earns 800, and cross-chain bridging can even yield up to 2000. These droplets do not come from nowhere; they are deeply integrated with ecological partners, such as AmnisFinance's staking, Hyperion's lending tools, Kofi Finance's liquidity protocols, etc. The tree has 12 types, from Oak to Bamboo, each with unique appearances and potential reward multipliers. The growth stages are distinct: from seed to seedling, and then to mature tree, requiring continuous watering for over 14 days. If neglected, the tree may 'wither', but once mature, it becomes your permanent asset and can even upgrade to a 'mythical' form, unlocking more benefits.
Why do I find APTreeio interesting? From my observation, it addresses a pain point in DeFi: low user retention. Newcomers are often scared away by complex protocols, while veterans find the rewards monotonous. APTreeio bridges both through visualized growth; your tree is your 'DeFi resume', recording every step and serving as social proof.
