aptos

the right approach to aptos defi tools

first of all, i’ll once again emphasize the importance of lending tools - in our case, that’s echelon. one way or another, no matter what position or strategy you choose, you’ll likely always have some token or stablecoin allocation on hand. lending markets help you expand your liquidity potential. broad nft trading on aptos hasn’t been viable for a while now, but it’s still very active on ethereum or abstract.

if you’re speculating and buying a native asset, you take on additional exposure - not just to the asset you’re trading, but also to the token price itself. using the right approach to your health factor lets you not only use lending effectively, but even profit in scenarios where there’s no dollar-equivalent downside. i often borrow eth using apt as collateral to trade nfts. sometimes i borrow usdt and buy eth myself - basically opening a long - and end up making profit both on the nft trade and the price increase of eth.
