DeFi
DeFi is the mainstream application for the Aptos ecosystem and can be divided into these fields: stablecoin, DEX, aggregator, IDO, lending and borrowing, asset management, derivatives and liquidity staking, etc.
Stablecoins
In terms of stablecoins, Thala Labs (https://www.thalalabs.xyz/) is currently the most popular stablecoin project in the entire Aptos ecosystem.

In terms of lending and borrowing, the following projects are being built in the Aptos ecosystem: Vial Protocol（https://www.vial.fi/）, Mobius（https://mobius.market/）, Njord Finance, Aptoslend, Ultima protocol and Aptin（https://app.aptin.io/）. Till now, products under tests of Vial Protocol, Aptin and Mobius have gone live.
The interaction of Vial Protocol is relatively simple, and its mode is almost the same as Compound, Aave, etc. Users can deposit and lend test tokens such as APT, BTC, USDC, etc. on the platform. APT can be directly claimed in the BitKeep wallet while BTC and USDC can be collected from the Faucet on the interface.
