Indian telecom giant Reliance Jio is partnering with Aptos Foundation and Aptos Labs to bring blockchain-based rewards to its more than 500 million customers.
Jio, the country’s largest mobile network operator, plans to integrate Aptos’ layer-1 blockchain to distribute digital rewards through its telecom services. The move was announced at the “Aptos Experience” event.
Aptos is known for its high-speed, low-cost infrastructure, which is designed to handle heavy transaction loads, a necessary feature for operating at Jio’s massive scale. The blockchain-based rewards are now in a beta testing phase, and “about” 9.4 million users are experimenting with them.
The companies said the system will focus on real-world utility, not speculation. The goal, according to the announcement, is to integrate blockchain into the practical aspects of daily digital life.
Aptos Labs will provide the technical support needed to build and manage the platform.
