Overview
Develop an on-site staking profit simulation tool directly on the Amnis homepage or staking section.
Users can input the amount of APT they want to stake, their expected staking duration, and select integrated DeFi options (such as farming on Cellana, lending on Aries Markets, or swapping on PancakeSwap).
The tool will calculate estimated returns based on:
Current APR (~5.95%)
Additional incentives (retroactive points, referral bonuses, etc.)
It will also display comparison charts between:
Liquid staking via Amnis
Traditional staking on Aptos
Why This Is Practical
- Solve User Confusion
Many new users on Aptos (current TVL ~26M APT with 460K+ stakers) miss opportunities because they don’t fully understand the benefits of liquid staking compared to traditional staking:
No lock-up period
Tokens remain usable in DeFi
The simulator clearly demonstrates these advantages, potentially increasing conversion rates from visitor → staker by 20–30%, based on similar case studies from protocols like Lido on Ethereum.
- Easy to Implement
Built with JavaScript/HTML (frontend only)
Pulls live data from Amnis APIs (APR, TVL) and DeFi partners
Low development cost (~1–2 weeks)
No new smart contracts required
- Seamless Integration
Direct wallet connect to stake immediately after simulation
“Share results” button for X/Twitter to drive viral growth
Benefits
Growth
Increase website traffic and engagement (trackable via Google Analytics)
Attract more users from the Aptos ecosystem (backed by Aptos Labs, OKX Ventures)
Can be paired with campaigns like:
“Simulate & Stake to Earn Bonus Points”
User Experience (UX)
More beginner-friendly
Lower bounce rate
Educational tooltips explaining amAPT/stAPT
Governance Tie-in
More staking → more AMI tokens → stronger DAO participation

Risks & Solutions
APR volatility
Estimated returns may not always be 100% accurate due to APR fluctuations → Add disclaimers and real-time updates
Security
No wallet connection required for simulation → Wallet connect remains optional only when staking
