We’re excited to announce the launch of our TruFin x Aptos Grants Program - an initiative designed to empower visionary teams who are pushing the boundaries of DeFi and liquid staking on the Aptos network. This program is fully endorsed by the Aptos Foundation but will be run and managed by TruFin, ensuring personalized support and guidance throughout the entire process.
What’s the Big Idea?
In a nutshell, we’re looking to fund and collaborate with projects that leverage the unique capabilities of the Aptos blockchain. We support projects that push the boundaries of what’s possible on Aptos and drive forward innovation within the ecosystem, including:
Applications that benefit from the scalability and security of Aptos
Teams committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible on-chain
Novel use cases built upon liquid staking (LSD, LSDfi)
Innovative mechanisms and designs that can shape the future of DeFi
Show Me the Money
Grant sizes range from $50,000 to $250,000 for each project, assessed on an individual basis. Whether you’re an early-stage project or established service provider, we are here to help you scale. In addition to financial support, we provide a range of incubation services to help your project thrive, from technical assistance and infrastructure setup to partnerships and mentorship.
Why TruFin x Aptos?
At TruFin, we specialize in building institutional-grade DeFi solutions across multiple networks. Our recent expansions — like TruStake on Aptos — showcase our commitment to simplifying and enhancing the liquid staking experience. Aptos, on the other hand, brings cutting-edge performance, safety, and user experience to the table. By joining forces with the Aptos Foundation, we’re combining resources and expertise to accelerate the growth of the LSD and LSDfi ecosystem on Aptos.
Is This Right for You?

Whether you’re a seasoned DeFi builder or just starting your blockchain journey, our doors are open to anyone ready to shape the future of decentralized finance.
