Level Up Your APT with Backpack: Lend for Extra Yield, Extra Rewards
What if your Aptos tokens could work harder, earning more than the usual yield while staying ready for your next trade? Backpack Exchange’s 31-day APT lending campaign is here to do just that. Running from 22 Aug 2025 at 8:00 am UTC until 22 Sep 2025 at 7:59 am UTC, the event rewards both consistency and activity with a pool of extra APT waiting to be claimed.
Why Join?
- Dual rewards – Earn your standard hourly lending yield plus a share of the additional APT reward pool.
- Full collateral utility – Use all of your lent APT as margin for perpetual futures or spot trading while still collecting rewards.
- Flexible participation – No minimum deposit, no lock-up. Deposit or withdraw anytime and keep the yield you’ve earned.
- Pool for Lending Rewards: 22,940 APT shared among all participants based on pro-rata snapshots.
- Achievement badges – Unlock extra prizes by lending for the first time, maintaining streaks, growing balances, or trading during the campaign.
How Rewards Work
- APT Lending Yield – Earned and credited hourly to your account balance.
- Additional APT Rewards – A separate pool of bonus APT is set aside for campaign participants. These rewards are calculated during the event and distributed in a lump sum after the campaign ends.
- Multi-Account Eligibility - All lent APT across your main account and sub-accounts will be aggregated and counted toward the bonus APT reward pool. This ensures your complete lending participation is recognized regardless of which account holds your APT.
- You’ll see Bonus APY projection in the Backpack Lend UI, updated daily. This projection gives you a live estimate of what you could earn during the campaign.
- How distribution is calculated – Backpack takes multiple daily snapshots of each user’s lent APT balance and the total pool size. Your snapshots are averaged across the 31-day period, and your share of the bonus pool is determined pro rata based on that average. Any deposits or withdrawals you make will affect your average balance and therefore your final reward.
How to Join
- Deposit APT and enable auto lend from desktop or mobile.
- Once enabled, hourly lending yield starts accruing in the next hour.
- Multiple daily snapshots track your contribution—keep APT lent to maximize your rewards.
Your APT remains fully tradable. For example, you can combine lending with funding rate strategies by holding spot APT and shorting perps to capture both yield and funding payments at once.
Risks & Notes
- The value of APT may fluctuate, which can impact your overall returns.
- Using lent APT as margin for trading involves liquidation risk if positions move against you.
- Lending and trading are not risk-free and may result in capital loss.
- Technical or operational issues, while rare, can affect performance.
- Participation may be subject to account eligibility and regional restrictions.
