Amnis Finance, the leading liquid staking protocol on the Aptos blockchain, has successfully raised US$2 million in its first fundraising round on September 2nd, 2024. This new funding will enable Amnis Finance to accelerate the integration of its innovative liquid staking solution across Aptos’ DeFi ecosystem. The platform remains committed to enhancing its services within Aptos while expanding its reach through strategic partnerships, fostering innovation, and adding more value to its growing user base.

Eric Nguyen, CEO and Co-Founder of Amnis Finance, expressed his excitement: “We are thrilled to have the backing of such an esteemed group of investors. This funding will allow us to continue building the leading decentralized staking solution on Aptos and beyond. As the top liquid staking protocol on Aptos, Amnis Finance is poised to drive innovation, expand our market share, and solidify our position within the broader blockchain ecosystem.”

Amnis Finance stands out by using Aptos’ scalability and security to offer higher returns and a safer staking experience.

Currently, Amnis Finance ranks as the #1 protocol in the Aptos ecosystem in terms of liquid staking, with over US$150 million in TVL and more than 22 million APT staked. With a rapidly growing community of over 225K stakers and 120K+ social media members, Amnis is already a cornerstone of the DeFi space.

As the Aptos ecosystem continues its rapid expansion, Amnis Finance is well-positioned to lead the liquid staking sector, offering a secure and efficient option for APT holders.

Gate Ventures Research Insights: The Bittensor Revolution – The Rise of AI’s Bitcoin and the New Economic Landscape

Gate Ventures' research report, "The Bittensor Revolution: The Rise of AI-Based Bitcoin and the New Economic Landscape," offers a comprehensive analysis of Bittensor, an innovative decentralized AI network.
