OKX Launches Aptos DeFi Season With 18% Bonus APY

OKX has initiated the Aptos DeFi Season, a campaign designed to attract users to the Aptos ecosystem by offering up to 18% bonus Annual Percentage Yield (APY) on select protocols. This campaign, which runs from May 17 to June 16, 2025, is spread across six major DeFi platforms, including LiquidSwap, PancakeSwap, and Aries. Participants can deposit tokens such as zUSDC, zUSDT, and APT LP tokens into these platforms using OKX Web3, which supports direct wallet integration for Aptos-based yield farming.

The primary goal of this initiative is to drive traffic to Aptos decentralized applications (dApps) and simplify the process of accessing DeFi for new users. By encouraging deposits and lending through OKX’s Web3 DeFi interface, the campaign aims to boost on-chain participation, liquidity, and user engagement within the Aptos ecosystem. The bonus APY is only applicable if users access the dApps through OKX Web3 tools or the mobile wallet, thereby incentivizing yield seekers in the DeFi markets to adopt Aptos.

In addition to the high yields, the Aptos DeFi Season includes interactive guides and tutorials to help users bridge to the Aptos network. OKX’s built-in bridge tools allow users to transfer assets from six different chains, making the onboarding process fast and simple for both DeFi newcomers and cross-chain investors. Each eligible action within the campaign earns bonus rewards, which are distributed by either OKX or the partner protocols. These rewards vary by project and can include airdrops, whitelists, and protocol-based points.

To qualify for these rewards, users must follow the instructions provided on the OKX Web3 app or website. The campaign partners include Amnis, Cellana, Aries, Echelon, LiquidSwap, and PancakeSwap, each offering unique staking, lending, or LP token incentives. By positioning itself as a key player in multichain DeFi onboarding, OKX’s Aptos DeFi Season aligns with the growing interest in high-speed Layer 1 ecosystems.

The Aptos DeFi Season by OKX introduces a range of DeFi opportunities for users, allowing them to supply USDC to platforms like Aries Market and Hyperion. Participants can share in bonus pools of up to 11,339 APT, enhancing user engagement and liquidity within the Aptos ecosystem. By leveraging OKX’s Web3 wallet, users can seamlessly interact with these DeFi projects, making the process of participating in decentralized finance more accessible to a broader audience. The campaign not only offers attractive yields but also simplifies the process of participating in decentralized finance, making it more accessible to a broader audience.
