The LFM program is Aptos Foundation’s Premier TGE Track for Leading Projects

Amnis Finance, the largest liquid staking protocol on the Aptos blockchain and one of the first projects to have participated in the Aptos Foundation’s LFM program, has announced the launch of its Token Generation Event (TGE). The LFM program launched by Aptos Foundation earlier this year is designed to support leading, Aptos-native projects in their TGE preparations.

With 1,882% YoY growth, a record-breaking 35 million APT staked, and a rapidly expanding user base of more than 417,000 stakers, Amnis Finance is setting the standard of liquidity and accessibility on Aptos. Its TGE represents a significant milestone in governance for the protocol which is the bedrock for Aptos DeFi.

Catalyzing Amnis Finance’s Rapid Growth with Aptos LFM

The Amnis team has effectively leveraged the extensive resources, mentorship, and strategic support through the LFM program to enact its long-term vision for the protocol’s maturation and growth. This collaboration underscores Aptos Foundation’s commitment to fostering innovation and empowering projects within the Aptos ecosystem.

“Amnis Finance’s liquid staking protocol is the bedrock of the Aptos DeFi ecosystem and their upcoming TGE is a testament to the tremendous maturation they’ve achieved since coming to mainnnet,” said Ash Pampati, Head of Ecosystem at Aptos Foundation. “We are excited to support the next leg of their journey through the LFM program where we aim to provide tailored solutions to each project to become leading protocols of the Aptos ecosystem.”

Engaging the Community and Enhancing Accessibility with ByBit and MEXC

As part of its TGE, Amnis Finance is committed to building a vibrant community where Amnis users can participate in various campaigns designed to reward early adopters, including governance opportunities that allow them to influence key decisions regarding the protocol’s future. In addition to the opportunity to participate in governance, users will also have the chance to earn rewards and enhance their staking benefits.

In addition, ByBit and MEXC, two of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges globally, have made the AMI token available to their users. This aims to increase the token’s visibility and accessibility, providing a robust platform for engaging a diverse range of stakeholders to foster community support.
