Super excited to work with

As validator rewards accrue to Tortuga, each tAPT is worth more and more, which increases the value of your collateral.
Tortuga 🤝
@ThalaLabs
Thala Labs is building $MOD, a stablecoin you can mint using tAPT as collateral.
The Turtle community is excited to partner with a team building the stablecoin primitive in Aptos!
3/ Acquire APT
Staking APT via Tortuga requires you to have APT.
If you don’t have APT, you may consider purchasing APT via a centralized exchanges (Coinbase, FTX, Binance) or decentralized exchanges in the Aptos ecosystem.
Earning 19-20% yield through real validator rewards on Aptos, now available on three lending markets:
-
@AriesMarkets
(26K APT)
