[Original] Aptos mainnet officially launched! Yiwen Fun DApp has been launched

The much-anticipated new-generation L1 public chain Aptos mainnet is officially launched. Although the overall operation of the main network is stable and there are no major failures, the Aptos team has been criticized by the community for its controversial token model and incentive plan. In addition, there are not many DApps that have been launched on the main network, and many developers have not yet completed the project development. It can be said that there is still a long way to go for a complete Aptos ecosystem.

In any case, what I want to talk about today is not the above bad news, but the sudden airdrop that surprised the community. I believe that many readers have received emails from the Aptos Foundation informing them about the eligibility for airdrops. The email didn't seem authentic at first, but after checking it several times, it turned out to be reliable. Aptos Airdrop Tokens (APT) can be claimed up to 450 per person. For users with the lowest threshold, that is, only minting NFTs and binding emails, 150 tokens can be claimed. As of this writing, an APT is worth $8, which means you can easily claim up to $1,200 in bounties for completing the two simple tasks above. The final decision on whether to sell all these airdrop tokens is a matter of opinion. The author strongly recommends that you reserve a part of the tokens to interact with the ecosystem of the mainnet. Maybe there will be more airdrops in the future. Unfortunately, many DApps are still in development and limited to testnet use. Therefore, the author carefully measured and sorted out the DApps available on the mainnet at the emergence stage.

wallet

Pontem wallet

URL : https://pontem.network/

Comments: Pontem is by far the best wallet in Aptos. Users can view various DApps through the built-in extension of the wallet.

Petra wallet

Website : https://petra.app/

Comments: Very simple user interface, very easy to use.

P/S: Although the Martian wallet is one of the most popular wallets in Aptos, I personally don’t recommend it, mainly because it creates a lot of trouble during use.

token exchange

Liquidswap

Website : https://liquidswap.com/

Comments: At present, only one APT/USDC trading pair is available, and the circulation pool has not yet been opened.

pledge

Ditto

Website : https://stake.dittofinance.io/

Comments: Similar to Lido in Ethereum, staked APT can be exchanged for staked APT (stAPT). Although the current APY is as high as 7%, it is necessary to pay attention to the fluctuation of APT currency.

borrow money

Argo

URL : https://argo.fi/

Comments: Basic DeFi lending protocol. The difference is that what users lend out is USDA, a platform stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar. At the same time, we can also borrow stAPT as collateral, just like the practice on the Ethereum chain.

NFT exchange

Souffl3

URL : https://souffl3.com/

Comments: A very simple NFT exchange. In addition to the basic functions that the exchange should have, the homepage also has a display function, allowing users to browse the official Twitter of the new NFT project before it is released.

Topaz

Website : https://www.topaz.so/

Comments: It also has the home page display function like Souffl3.

domain name

Aptos Names

Website : https://www.aptosnames.com/

Comments: Unlike Ethereum's ENS, the minting price of Aptos Names depends on the total letters and numbers of the domain name. Additionally, Aptos domain names may use a "-" hyphen. Domain name foundry prices are as follows:

3 digits/letters: 80 APT

4 digits/letters: 40 APT

5 digits/letters: 20 APT

6 digits/letters or more: 5 APT
