// rate history · LINK → APT
Swapping LINK to APT means moving from an Ethereum-based oracle token to a native asset on a Move-based L1. There's no direct bridge between Chainlink's primary ERC-20 deployment and the Aptos network, so an aggregated swap is usually the cleanest route - one transaction, no manual bridging, no wrapped intermediaries sitting in your wallet. No-KYC routing keeps the flow permissionless from LINK send to APT receive.
// about this pair
Why LINK -> APT is a cross-ecosystem swap
LINK lives primarily as an ERC-20 on Ethereum (with CCIP and native deployments on several other chains), while APT is the gas token of Aptos, a parallel-execution L1 built around the Move VM. The two networks share no validator set, no bridge-native liquidity, and no shared address format. A swap aggregator collapses what would otherwise be a multi-step path (LINK -> stable or ETH -> bridge -> APT) into a single deposit and payout.
Practical implications:
- Send-side fees depend on the LINK network you choose. ERC-20 LINK on Ethereum mainnet has the deepest liquidity but the highest gas; LINK on Arbitrum, Base, or BSC is cheaper if the service supports it.
- Receive-side is fast: Aptos finality is sub-second and fees are fractions of a cent, so APT typically lands within a minute of the swap clearing.
- Liquidity for LINK/APT direct pairs is thin on most venues - rates are usually routed through USDT or USDC internally, which is why quotes between aggregated providers can vary 1-3%.
What to check before locking a rate
For this specific pair, watch:
- Network selection on the LINK side - picking the wrong chain (e.g. sending BEP-20 LINK to an ERC-20 deposit address) is the most common way funds get stuck.
- Floating vs fixed rate. LINK has moderate volatility; APT can move sharply on unlocks and ecosystem news. Fixed rates protect you during the deposit confirmation window but cost 0.5-1% in spread.
- Minimum amounts. Some routes set higher minimums for APT payouts because of internal hot-wallet sizing.
- Refund address. Always provide a LINK refund address on the same network you're sending from - if the rate window expires, that's where funds return.
Tip: size your swap so Ethereum gas stays under 1% of the trade. For sub-$200 swaps, route LINK from an L2 if the comparison table offers it.
// FAQ
Which LINK network should I send from?
ERC-20 on Ethereum mainnet has the deepest liquidity and best rates for larger amounts, but gas costs $2-15 per transaction. For smaller swaps, sending LINK from Arbitrum, Base, BSC, or Polygon (if the route supports it) cuts send-side fees to cents. Confirm the deposit network matches your wallet's chain before broadcasting.
Do I need an Aptos wallet before swapping?
Yes. APT is delivered to a native Aptos address (32-byte hex starting with 0x). Petra, Martian, Pontem, and OKX Wallet all generate compatible addresses. EVM addresses will not work - sending to one means the funds are unrecoverable on the Aptos side. Generate and verify the receive address before initiating the swap.
How long does a LINK to APT swap take end-to-end?
Typical completion is 5-15 minutes. Bottleneck is LINK confirmations on the send side: Ethereum needs 12-30 confirmations (3-7 minutes), L2s are faster. Once the service detects the deposit, the APT leg lands in under 60 seconds because Aptos has sub-second finality. Fixed-rate quotes usually hold for 10-30 minutes.
Why do quotes vary between providers for this pair?
There's no deep direct LINK/APT order book. Most providers route internally through USDT, USDC, or BTC, so the final rate reflects two hops plus each provider's spread. Differences of 1-3% between quotes are normal. Aggregator comparisons matter more here than on majors like BTC/ETH where direct liquidity is uniform.
Is APT received as a native asset or a wrapped token?
Native APT on the Aptos mainnet - not a wrapped or bridged representation. You can immediately use it for gas, staking with Aptos validators, or interacting with Move-based DeFi like Thala, Aries, or LiquidSwap. No unwrapping step required.
What happens if the rate expires while my LINK is still confirming?
Behavior depends on the route type. Floating-rate swaps execute at whatever the market is when the deposit confirms, so there's no expiry risk but the final APT amount may differ from the quote. Fixed-rate swaps that miss the window typically fall back to a floating rate or trigger a refund to the address you provided at order creation.
