Aptos (APT)

Onchain payments are going mainstream. @Mastercard launched its Crypto Partner Program with Aptos as a launch partner — together, exploring what's next for onchain payments at global scale. Aptos 🤝 Mastercard https://t.co/g13kU12P3d

$APT update Still holding the zone. The original plan is playing out. Price is consolidating within the entry range, and the setup remains fully valid. First target is lopcated at 1.125$ 🎯 https://t.co/lMqn9SRwho

AI is developing at a breakneck pace & @shelbyserves is built as a dedicated storage layer for AI. It addresses lingering issues of legacy and decentralized storage systems today. 1️⃣ Misalignment between storage & AI We must look at this objectively: current storage systems are not designed for AI: - Centralized cloud storage (S3, GCS): bandwidth costs are very high and create dependence on providers. - Existing decentralized storage (Filecoin, Arweave): optimized for static, long‑term data ("cold storage") but access speed is very slow, unable to meet the continuous high‑throughput read demands of AI training. 2️⃣ Shelby's solution Shelby is a global object storage network with verifiability and read‑performance optimization. - High performance: delivers access speeds comparable to centralized services while maintaining decentralization. - Verifiability: uses cryptographic proofs to ensure data integrity and availability. - Interoperability: deep integration with the Aptos ecosystem for transparent on‑chain access control and payments. The project's Discord is currently quiet, but the team says many updates are coming soon, likely expanding the testnet…. I will post updates as soon as I have new info! #shelby

🔥Aptos DeFi Best Yield Opportunities Collection (April 2026 Edition) Market sentiment remains low, and short‑term speculative space is compressed. In a bear‑market cycle, simply chasing price moves is not a cost‑effective strategy. If you are bullish on @Aptos for the long term, hoarding $APT during the bear market is a strategy; however, while waiting for the cycle to reverse, keeping your capital generating cash flow on‑chain is often more important💰 One underappreciated fact about Aptos is that, given its high performance + low gas (even 10× lower today), the real yields of stable‑coin DeFi are noticeably higher than on most mainstream chains. On the first day of April, Movemaker walks you through the most worthwhile DeFi mining yield opportunities in the Aptos ecosystem🧵 ———————— 1️⃣ Lending: Low‑risk steady returns Lending protocols are one of the most fundamental components of DeFi and offer the most balanced risk‑return profile. You deposit assets, the protocol lends them out, and you earn interest. @EchelonMarket is currently the most outstanding lending protocol in the Aptos ecosystem, with TVL surpassing $300 million at its peak, and it completed its TGE in February this year. Pools with good performance and their APRs: USD1 - 6.62% GoAPT - 5.91% (LST asset from @the_goblin_fi) xBTC - 5.78% (OKX’s wrapped BTC asset) USDC - 3.33% DLP - 3.16% (liquidity token from @DecibelTrade) Portal → https://t.co/jFtdZYpOJb ———————— 2️⃣ LP Mining: Hyperion, Goblin Aptos’s liquidity mining yields are higher compared to other chains; below are four top‑mid tier protocols as examples. 📌 @hyperion_xyz: DEX with the highest TVL and highest daily volume Many pools on Hyperion are very active; APRs are not only stable but also the highest across chains. By providing LP, you can also earn Drips points, which may result in a second $RION airdrop in the future. USDT‑USDC, APR ~ 6.84% (equivalent to stable‑coin mining) APT‑USDT, APR ~ 85.13% APT‑USDC, APR ~ 76.83% WBTC‑USDC, APR ~ 30.02% Portal → https://t.co/BQtmW8NEgC 📌 @the_goblin_fi: Automated management, enhanced LP returns Goblin Finance is the native yield layer on Aptos, with core features including the GoVault automated vault and GoAPT native LST. GoVault can automatically help users dynamically manage LPs to maximize returns. USDT‑USDC, APR ~ 10.14% (equivalent to stable‑coin mining) APT‑GoAPT, APR ~ 7.74% (equivalent to single‑asset APT mining) APT‑USDC, APR ~ 222.10% Goblin has launched a points system, Goblin Points, and has explicitly stated that an airdrop will occur. There are two ways to earn points: ➤ Deposit LP in GoVault ➤ Deposit GoAPT of APT Portal → https://t.co/PNzdUkGdEu 🎯 Note: LP mining carries impermanent loss risk; it is recommended to check periodically to avoid one‑sided losses. 🟠 Welcome to join Movemaker → Aptos Chinese community to explore more Alpha opportunities in the Aptos ecosystem: https://t.co/pdHKBY6wcR

The @shelbyserves project is a high-performance storage network purpose-built for the AI & Streaming sectors. In this ecosystem, the "Auditing" system isn't just a technical feature - it’s the backbone of trust within a decentralized environment. 1️⃣ Why is Auditing Essential for Web3 Storage? When you store data on Google Drive or OneDrive, you're placing your trust in a centralized corporation. However, in a decentralized system, storage nodes are anonymous. This raises critical questions: 🔹Data Integrity: How do you know a host is actually storing your data without modifying or deleting bits to save space? 🔹The Audit Mechanism: The system must constantly issue "challenges" to servers, forcing them to prove data integrity in real-time. 2️⃣ What makes Shelby’s Novel Auditing System superior? Traditional auditing is resource-heavy, consuming significant bandwidth and compute power. Shelby optimizes this through: 🔹Continuous Verification: Moving beyond on-demand checks, the system executes automated, randomized audits across the entire network. 🔹Cryptographic Proofs: Leveraging advanced techniques like Proof of Retrievability (PoR) and Proof of Spacetime. Instead of slow, full-file uploads, servers provide lightweight mathematical proofs. Even a 1-bit alteration causes the proof to fail instantly. 🔹Aptos Integration: Audit results are recorded directly onto the Aptos blockchain, creating an immutable, tamper-proof log of network reliability. #shelby
