Aptos-Based DEX Tapp Exchange to Cease Operations

Tapp Exchange, a prominent player in the Aptos ecosystem, has revealed plans to discontinue its services. Launched in June 2025, the decentralized exchange (DEX) has garnered attention for its innovative features and substantial trading volume.

According to Tapp Exchange's official statement, the protocol will continue to operate normally until May 31, after which it will shut down. The exchange has emphasized that all user assets are safe and can be withdrawn immediately. However, users are advised to withdraw their funds before the shutdown date to avoid potential technical difficulties.

Tapp Exchange has been a key component of Aptos' DeFi ecosystem, recording approximately $1.95 billion in cumulative trading volume through its unique features, including a new voting mechanism and reward distribution system. The exchange has also expressed gratitude to its liquidity providers and governance participants for their support.
