Introducing Cetus Protocol: a pioneer dex and liquidity protocol built on Aptos blockchain. It focuses on delivering the best trading experience and superior capital efficiency to DeFi users through the process of building its concentrated liquidity protocol and a series of affiliate functional modules. It is speculated that testing their protocol could make one eligible for possible future airdrops. So, let’s learn how to perform two basic functionalities of the protocol that may be important for airdrop eligibility: i. Swapping tokens and ii. Providing liquidity.

Before anything, we need a wallet. Martian wallet is one popular wallet we can use for this purpose. Install the extension from below on your chrome browser. https://martianwallet.xyz/

Now we need to deposit APT token in the wallet. One easy way to get this is swap/buy APT token from centralized exchange like Kucoin and send it to the address of your Martian Wallet. Make sure, you select Mainnet in the Martian Wallet.

Open the website https://app.cetus.zone/ and connect the wallet. Make sure the network selected is Aptos.

Under swap tab, swap APT to zUSDC. You can swap any amount. But make sure you leave some APT which we will need to provide liquidity in the next stage. Also, we need APT for transaction fees. Click Confirm. Then approve the transaction in your wallet. Please wait until the exchange is finished. That’s it. You have swapped your tokens. You can see the zUSDC reflected in your wallet now.

Now let’s provide liquidity

Click the Pools tab. Select the first pool APT-zUSDC. Click Add liquidity. Enter the number of zUSDC to add liquidity. Equivalent number of APT will be automatically populated. Click Add to the pool. Approve the transaction in your wallet and wait for the transaction to execute.

That’s it. You have successfully provided liquidity!
