Best DeFi Applications on Aptos
Unfortunately, there is no live decentralized finance (DeFi) applications on the Aptos blockchain yet. The network has transitioned from testnet to mainnet and developers have just started to build and are expected to deploy applications in the next 3 months. If you're looking for things to do on-chain, you can track the Aptos block explorer.
Is Aptos Safe?
The Aptos blockchain is still in its early stages of development and as such, we cannot guarantee that it will be safe to use. That said, the venture capitalists behind Aptos are experienced and have a good track record, so we believe that the project has a good chance of success. Only time will tell whether or not Aptos will be a safe and secure blockchain platform.
Final Thoughts
Aptos is a new blockchain platform and it is not yet supported by MetaMask. To get started interacting with DeFi applications and other services on the network, you will need to install the Petra Aptos Wallet. As the network is still in its early stages, we cannot guarantee that it will be safe and secure to use. That said, the venture capitalists behind Aptos have a good track record and have invested heavily into building out the platform, so we believe that Aptos has a good chance of success.
