Aptos staking system?

We have now entered a more mature stage, which can be roughly divided into two routes: native stake and liquid stake.

Native staking is relatively straightforward, where APT is delegated to validator nodes, with an annualized return of about 5–8%. The tokens will be locked, but they can reliably provide network security. This part of the staking is the root capital of the Aptos consensus mechanism, offering stable returns with low volatility.

The liquid staking here mainly involves three protocols: Amnis, Thala, and Kofi. After users stake, they will receive tokens representing the staked assets (stAPT, sthAPT, stkAPT). These tokens can also be used in other protocols, such as for collateral, providing liquidity, or trading, essentially allowing the staked assets to continue operating within the system.

This design actually improves the capital utilization efficiency of Aptos. Locking assets is no longer equivalent to dead money; staking is not just for annualized returns, but also to enter a larger DeFi liquidity structure!

In summary, native stake stabilizes the security layer, while liquid stake activates the capital layer. Aptos is combining the two into a sustainable system!
