Decentralized finance (DeFi) is one of the most exciting innovations in the crypto space. Heralded as the future of finance, DeFi removes middlemen, promotes financial inclusion, and offers lucrative opportunities.
However, the sector faces challenges in terms of scalability, security, and user experience. Regulation is another big issue obstructing the broad adoption of DeFi, which is all set to get better with President Donald Trump’s pro-crypto stance expected to bring clearer regulation.
With crypto adoption rising and regulatory clarity offering a suitable backdrop for DeFi growth, DeFi platform Aqualis Protocol is launching on Metis.
ocol offers a full-scale DEX experience with an integrated lending protocol to offer users unparalleled opportunities to participate in the next-generation DeFi ecosystem.
The platform is defined as “a transformative moment” for the Metis ecosystem, which will utilize the technical capabilities of Metis’s Layer 2 infrastructure to offer a low-cost, faster, and scalable application to explore DeFi.
Having a high-speed, low-cost foundation allows the team to make trading, lending, and liquidity provision seamless on Aqualis. Moreover, with Aqualis’s focus on the multi-utilization of assets, Metis users can maximize their capital efficiency by earning trading fees and lending interest simultaneously.
This way, the Aqualis DEX offers its users multiple diversified revenue streams. The platform further provides smoother utilization curves and a lower spread, reducing the volatility of lending. This combination ensures higher rewards and lower risks for Aqualis users. With these features, Metis aims to bring capital efficiency to the broader DeFi space.
This isn’t all, though. The protocol is also planning to onboard TradFi into the DeFi by integrating tokenized equities and commodities, which will further bring greater liquidity and value flow to the whole DeFi ecosystem.
Earn AQL Tokens While Exploring DeFi
To make the Aqualis launch even more exciting and rewarding for the community, the project has introduced an AQL token airdrop. Using a time-limited and points-based system, Metis will be distributing coins to those who engage with the platform — the more your engagement, the higher your points, and the greater the number of your tokens.
In order to participate in the AQL Airdrop on Metis, you need a Metis-compatible wallet like Metamask and connect it to the Metis L2 network. Then, of course, you must fund it with stablecoins like USDT and USDC to participate in trading or liquidity provision. You are also going to need METIS tokens to pay for the gas fees.
On the Aqualis platform, you can add liquidity on Aqualis Stablepool (SP) through the Stablepool (SP) feature, which is optimized for pegged asset trading and lending. Stablecoins like USDT can be added to the pool, with each stablecoin earning 10 points toward airdrop rewards.
Another option is to earn AQL tokens by trading on Aqualis. For every stablecoin you trade, you earn a point, significantly boosting your airdrop eligibility.
If you don’t want to engage in either of these activities, Metis has also allocated a huge chunk — up to 10 million points, for social activity. Here, you can follow Aqualis and Metis, share posts, create content, and join community discussions to earn AQL tokens.
The airdrop campaign will only run until February 28, 2025, so don’t miss the chance to get free rewards while trying Aqualis’ exciting features. Along with the initial airdrop, Metis is introducing monthly AQL rewards distributed where Aqualis is deployed.
Overall, the launch of Aqualis Protocol on Metis is a big step forward in DeFi. It will bring more opportunity for users, simplify onboarding through simple yet appealing ways to earn rewards, and offer sophisticated products for larger players to deploy their capital efficiently—ultimately shaping a brighter, more innovative future for decentralized finance.
