> Pioneering Liquid Staking on Aptos

Amnis Finance provides liquid staking for Aptos blockchain users, allowing stakers to earn rewards while maintaining liquidity for DeFi activities.

Amnis Finance operates a liquid staking protocol on the Aptos blockchain enabling users to stake APT tokens while receiving liquid derivatives amAPT and stAPT. Users earn staking rewards without locking capital, as amAPT maintains a 1:1 peg with APT for flexible liquidity while stAPT auto-compounds yield. The protocol delegates staked tokens to curated validators and distributes rewards every two hours with a 7% performance fee.

## Products

- [Amnis Liquid Staking Protocol](https://thegrid.id/profiles/amnis_finance): Amnis Liquid Staking Protocol manages APT token deposits and validator delegation on Aptos through smart contracts, enabling liquid staking with instant derivative token issuance. The system delegates staked APT to whitelisted validators while continuously monitoring performance to optimize yields. Users receive amAPT tokens on a 1:1 basis with staked APT for liquidity provision and stAPT tokens for auto-compounded yield generation. The protocol processes staking rewards every two hours and collects a 7% performance fee routed to the DAO treasury. (Liquid Staking, Live, Main Product)

## Assets

- [AMI (AMI)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/amnis_finance): AMI is the governance token of Amnis Finance, a liquid staking protocol on the Aptos blockchain. It is used to vote on protocol proposals, with decisions requiring a 5% quorum of total supply and a 50% support threshold to pass. The token serves as an incentive mechanism, rewarding users for engaging with the protocol and driving adoption within the Amnis liquid staking ecosystem. (Governance)
- [Amnis Aptos Coin (AMAPT)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/amnis_finance): AMAPT is a liquid staking token representing staked APT on Amnis Finance. It is used to maintain liquidity in DeFi applications while the underlying APT earns staking rewards from validators on the Aptos network. The token maintains a 1:1 value ratio with APT, allowing holders to redeem their staked position while the protocol automatically distributes rewards every two hours. (Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs))
- [Amnis Staked Aptos Coin (STAPT)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/amnis_finance): STAPT is a liquid staking vault token on Aptos representing staked APT with auto-compounding rewards. It is used by depositing amAPT into the stAPT vault to earn staking yield on their amAPT. The token earns 100% of its validator rewards, plus 80% of amAPT's validator rewards, allowing holders to redeem their STAPT for an increasing amount of amAPT over time as the exchange rate rises with accumulated staking rewards.
