Propbase DEX Launches on Aptos for RWA Token Trading

Steady attention without excessive speculation.

The exchange, also called Propbase Swap, is accessible directly at staking.propbase.app/swap. Users can trade the native PROPS token against USDC without leaving the Propbase ecosystem. According to the team, this removes the need for external centralized or decentralized exchanges.

How the Propbase DEX Works

The Propbase DEX uses an automated market maker (AMM) model. The initial pool pairs PROPS with USDC on the Aptos network. Users can swap between the two tokens directly from the Propbase website.

Each swap carries a 0.30% trading fee. Of that fee, 67% flows to liquidity providers and 33% goes to the Propbase Treasury. The team says this split supports both LP incentives and ecosystem growth.

Liquidity providers deposit equal value of PROPS and USDC into the pool. In return, they receive LP tokens that represent their share. Higher trading volume generates more fees for providers.

Farming and Dual Yield

Beyond trading fees, the Propbase DEX also offers farming pools. Users can stake their LP tokens to earn additional PROPS rewards on top of the fees they already collect from swaps.

This creates what the team calls “dual yield.” Liquidity providers earn from both the 0.30% swap fees and the PROPS farming incentives. Specific APY figures were not disclosed at launch and may change based on pool activity.

Why Propbase Built Its Own DEX

Propbase is a tokenized real estate investment platform on Aptos. It allows fractional property ownership starting at roughly $100, with rental yields paid in USDC. The PROPS token powers transactions, fees, and governance across the platform.

According to the Propbase team, the DEX serves several purposes. First, it deepens on-chain liquidity for PROPS on Aptos. Second, it simplifies access for users who may be new to Web3. The team designed the interface with inspiration from platforms like PancakeSwap but tailored it for real estate investors entering DeFi.

By building an in-house exchange, Propbase joins a growing trend of RWA protocols creating self-contained DeFi ecosystems. Rather than relying on third-party DEXs for token liquidity, the project now controls its own trading infrastructure.

Version One With More Upgrades Planned

The Propbase team described this as the first version of the DEX. Future updates will include dollar-cost averaging (DCA) tools, improved charting, aggregation features, and other advanced trading capabilities.

The DEX launch fits into Propbase’s published 2026 Technical Roadmap. The Q1 Foundation phase also included a mobile app launch and auto-invest features. Looking ahead, the roadmap targets lending in Q2, omnichain support in Q3, and institutional products like XPROPS in Q4.

A seventh property asset offering is also expected the week after the DEX launch, according to the team.

Token Details and Exchange Listings

PROPS is the utility token for the Propbase ecosystem on Aptos. It has a fixed total supply of 1.2 billion tokens. The official token address is available on propbase.app.

Beyond the new Propbase DEX, PROPS trades on several centralized exchanges. These include Bitget, Gate.io, KuCoin, and MEXC. The in-house DEX adds native Aptos liquidity that complements these existing CEX listings.

What Comes Next for Propbase

The community responded actively to the launch on May 8 and 9, 2026. Users shared guides on adding USDC via Aptos, swapping for PROPS, providing liquidity, and staking LP tokens. The team encouraged testing and feedback during the early days of the DEX.

For the latest pool stats, current APY figures, and reward details, users can connect a compatible Aptos wallet like Petra at the official Propbase Swap interface. The Propbase DEX represents a step toward deeper DeFi integration for the RWA platform, with lending and cross-chain features on the horizon.
