India’s largest telecom operator, Reliance Jio, has entered a partnership with Aptos Labs and Aptos Foundation. The collaboration is set to launch a blockchain-based rewards system for Jio’s 500 million subscribers.
Jio Partners With Aptos
The main goal of this partnership is to launch the digital rewards known as JioCoin into Jio’s consumer services through Aptos Layer 1 blockchain. That way, blockchain services will enter into daily life utility and not just for speculative tokens or memecoins. The initiative is currently in a beta testing phase with approximately 9.4 million users
This will also boost user interactions on both platforms, as Aptos’ high-speed, low-cost infrastructure will enhance Jio’s utility. In return, the mobile network operator will boost Aptos’ visibility to attract more users. This was announced at the Aptos Experience event held on October 15, 2025..
Aptos said, “Reliance Jio will leverage Aptos’ high-performance network to deliver blockchain-based rewards directly to users, building on Jio’s ongoing efforts to provide advanced technology to daily customer experiences.”
Why This Matters
This move is a great milestone for India’s blockchain landscape, as the Aptos collaboration could be a blueprint for Web3 adoption. India has already topped the crypto adoption chart of 2025, and this move will further strengthen the country’s position in becoming a global crypto hub.
Jio chose Aptos for this initiative because of its reliability, secure environment, developer tools, and ability to handle massive transaction volumes for consumer-grade blockchain applications. This move expands Jio’s strategy of enhancing digital innovation. The network has already shown its efforts in evolving AI, 5G, cloud, and financial services, positioning itself as the leader in the digital ecosystem.
Earlier this year, in January, Jio partnered with Polygon Labs to integrate Web3 capabilities into its services. By integrating the infrastructure, Jio aimed at leveraging seamless payments, decentralized data control, with enhanced privacy security for its users.
