Token Staking Template
Create Aptos Dapp Token Staking Dapp Template
The Token staking dapp template provides an end-to-end Fungible Asset staking dapp.
With this dapp, you can:
- Create an incetivize pool on Aptos.
- Modify a pre-made UI to build a Staking dapp users can quickly adjust.
- Learn how to write a Move contract and front end connected to that contract.
If you have not created a fungible asset yet, check out the Token Minting Dapp Template to easily create a token on Aptos.
The Token staking dapp template provides a one page with different components:
- Create an incetivize pool - A component for the stake creator to create an incentivize (rewards) pool
- Stake Fungible Asset Component - A component for anyone to stake the fungible asset
- Unstake Fungible Asset Component - A component for any staker to unstake the fungible asset
- Claim fungible assets rewards - A component for any staker to claim the fungible asset rewards
Quick Start
Generate the Token Staking dapp template
On your terminal, navigate to the directory you want to work in and run:
Follow the CLI prompts.
Publish the Move Contract
In the .env
file, set VITE_REWARD_CREATOR_ADDRESS
to be the same as your account address.
This determines which account is allowed to create a pool using the dapp.
If you haven't set up an account, you can create one with an Aptos wallet like Petra. Make sure to set up the account on the same network as your template project.
For example:
In the .env
file, set VITE_FA_ADDRESS
to be the same as the fungible asset address.
This determines which asset is used as the stake asset.
If you have not created a fungible asset yet, check out the Token Minting Dapp Template to easily create a token on Aptos.
For example:
On the project root folder, run the below command to publish the contract.
You will have to confirm the gas fee in the console.
This command will:
- Publish the contract to chain.
- Setting the
VITE_MODULE_ADDRESS
in the.env
file to set the contract object address.
Incentivize the pool with rewards
After you have published the Move contract to chain
Run the app and open the preview.
In the top-right corner, click "Connect a Wallet".
Use the same account that you set in .env
for the VITE_REWARD_CREATOR_ADDRESS
.
Or, if you use a different account, set the VITE_REWARD_CREATOR_ADDRESS
to the account you sign in with and republish the contract.
Click the Add Incentivize
button
Once you are connected with the same account that you set in .env
for the VITE_REWARD_CREATOR_ADDRESS
, you should be able to see the Incentivize Pool
component with a Add Incentivize
button.
Clicking the button pops up a modal for you to enter the incentivize pool duration (in weeks) and the amount of the fungible asset.
Once you approve the transaction, you have successfully created an incentivize pool on Aptos!
Customizing the Front-End
Most data on the front end is customizable in frontend/config.ts
.
Modify static content
Once the collection address has been configured, view the frontend/config.ts
file to change any static content on the page. You can also modify the code itself as you wish.
How to add static images?
The public mint page uses static images in the UI. Initially, the images are imported from the frontend/assets/placeholder
folder. To use custom images, you should add the image you want to use to the frontend/assets
folder (under any new folder you want to create) and then import the image as seen below in the frontend/config.ts
file and add it under the section you want to have it.
How can I take it from here?
Remember, one of the goals of this template is to educate and provide a real life example on how a Fungible Asset staking dapp can be on Aptos. We provide some basic concepts and features but there is much more you can do for your dapp.
Some ideas you can try are:
- Choose different fungible assets for the staked token and the reward token.
- Custom flows after someone stakes an asset
- Check out our TS SDK to see what other API queries you can use to support more features and fetch more data.
Ready for Mainnet
If you started your dapp on testnet, and you are happy with your asset testing, you will want to get the asset on mainnet.
Creating a asset on mainnet is the same flow as creating on testnet, but we need to change some configuration.
Note: Make sure you have created an existing account on the Aptos
mainnet
- Change the
VITE_APP_NETWORK
value tomainnet
on the.env
file - Update the
VITE_MODULE_PUBLISHER_ACCOUNT_ADDRESS
to be the existing account address on the.env
file - Update the
VITE_MODULE_PUBLISHER_PRIVATE_KEY
to be the existing account private key on the.env
file - Create or get the account you want to create a asset with, open the
.env
file and assign the account address as theVITE_REWARD_CREATOR_ADDRESS
value. - Create or get the asset you want to use in your dapp, open the
.env
file and assign the asset address as theVITE_FA_ADDRESS
value. - Finally, run
npm run move:publish
to publish your move module on Aptos mainnet. - The next step would be to create an incentivize pool using the account you set as the
VITE_REWARD_CREATOR_ADDRESS
. Simply follow Incentivize the pool with rewards
Deploy to a live server
create-aptos-dapp
provides an npm command to easily deploy the static site to Vercel.
At the root of the folder, simply run
Then, follow the prompts. Please refer to Vercel docs to learn more about the Vercel CLI
If you are looking for different services to deploy the static site to, create-aptos-dapp
utilizes Vite as the development tool, so you can follow the Vite deployment guide. In a nutshell, you would need to:
- Run
npm run build
to build a static site - Run
npm run preview
to see how your dapp would look like on a live server - Next, all you need is to deploy your static site to a live server, there are some options for you to choose from and can follow this guide on how to use each
Update the look and feel of the dapp
This template is styled with Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui. These libraries provide the app with a neutral and clean look and feel while leaving it open to a lot of customization so that you can make the app truly yours.
