TL;DR:
- Aptos integrated with Tria, the self-custodial neofinance app with over 500,000 users across more than 150 countries.
- Tria incorporated Decibel’s onchain perpetuals, which hold over $50 million in TVL and offer up to 40x leverage.
- The integration expands Aptos’s DeFi ecosystem into emerging markets and provides mass distribution to a network already used by BlackRock and Franklin Templeton.
Half a million people just gained access to one of the fastest settlement networks on the market. Tria, the self-custodial neofinance application backed by $12 million in funding from multiple investors, announced its integration with Aptos as a high-speed execution layer within its financial operating system. The platform, active in more than 150 countries, has processed over $100 million in transaction volume since its launch in late 2025.
The integration brings Aptos into Tria’s infrastructure, enabling native deposits, trading operations, cross-chain swaps, access to tokenized real-world assets, yield opportunities and Visa card payments at more than 150 million merchants, all from a single self-custodial account without surrendering private keys.
Aptos Enjoys Full Institutional Backing
The choice of Aptos was not driven solely by technical metrics, though these are essential: sub-second finality, transaction costs below a fraction of a cent, and 99.99% uptime since mainnet launch. The decisive factor was the institutional ecosystem already operating on the network. BlackRock‘s BUIDL fund, tokenized through Securitize, selected Aptos as one of its settlement chains. Franklin Templeton integrated the network for its onchain U.S. government bond money market fund. These are not pilot projects — they are live products moving real capital.
Onchain Perpetuals with Decibel
Tria incorporated Decibel directly within its application through the platform’s Builder Code program. The integration allows Tria users to access fully onchain perpetuals: every order, match and liquidation is executed on-chain through Decibel’s order book, powered by Aptos. Since its launch in February 2026, Decibel surpassed $50 million in TVL, operates with multi-asset collateral and offers up to 40x leverage.
Within Tria, Decibel’s trading engine coexists with yield opportunities, swaps and the Visa card balance in a single interface, with no additional bridges or custody transfers required. The network that settles BlackRock’s tokenized funds is now also the infrastructure behind an account from which any user can open a leveraged position, generate yield on their collateral and pay with their card before the next block finalizes.
