As one of the earliest contributors to the Aptos ecosystem, Thala delivers core DeFi primitives that power liquidity, staking and on-chain innovation.

Innovations to its product suite such as its concentrated liquidity market maker (CLMM), liquid staking tokens and xLPT, demonstrate how Thala is expanding use cases and possibilities for builders in Aptos DeFi.

Concentrated Liquidity on Aptos

The recent launch of Thala’s CLMM has helped to introduce range-based liquidity provisioning on Aptos. Now, LPs can concentrate capital in tighter ranges, leading to deeper liquidity, reduced slippage and stronger execution for traders. This upgrade introduces new functionality for both retail and institutional traders on Aptos through ThalaSwap.

xLPTs: Unlocking Composable Liquidity on Aptos

Thala’s xLPTs turn standard LP tokens into yield-bearing, transferable and composable assets.

Built on the Aptos Dispatchable Fungible Assets standard, xLPTs automatically accrue farming rewards while unlocking new collateral use cases.

To date, deposits have reached up to $50M on Echelon—showing how LP positions evolved into a building block for lending and leverage across Aptos.

Open-Source Contributions to Aptos

Thala doesn’t just build DeFi primitives; it contributes tools that help strengthen the entire Aptos developer ecosystem. For example:

Surf introduces Type-Safe TypeScript Interfaces & React Hooks for Aptos. Surf improves the developer experience by eliminating manual encoding/decoding, offering static type inference and enabling safer, faster frontend-to-smart-contract interactions.
Safely is a CLI-first multisig manager for Aptos that safely ensures secure, verifiable multisig execution with full local control and Ledger support.
FixedPoint64 is a fixed-point math library for Move that provides precise calculations essential for AMMs, lending markets and other DeFi protocols.
Move Integers are signed and extended decimals for Move. Developed together with Kana Labs and audited by MoveBit and OtterSec, Move Integers enable more advanced protocol design and safer end-user products.
Aptos Explorer upgrades, including added run/view contract features that let developers and users interact directly with smart contracts inside the explorer.

Building Infra for Aptos DeFi

In addition to developer tooling and its DeFi product suite, Thala recently unveiled plans to relaunch ThalaLaunch—the protocol’s decentralized bootstrapping platform that will kick off with the launch of RESERVE. By combining liquidity bootstrapping pools with Thala’s product suite, it aims to become the default venue for new projects to launch into Aptos’ DeFi ecosystem.

From CLMM to xLPTs, staking derivatives to open-source tooling, Thala is building infrastructure to support liquidity and composability on Aptos. With the upcoming relaunch of ThalaLaunch, the protocol is set to play a key role in how assets and projects can enter the ecosystem.
