Fact Check
The statement is directly and explicitly confirmed by a primary source, the official X (formerly Twitter) account of Aptos (Evidence 5 & 7). This is corroborated by a staging website for Jio's own project, JioCoin, which lists Aptos as a 'trusted blockchain partner' for its rewards program (Evidence 1). While another source mentions a partnership with Polygon, this does not contradict the Aptos partnership, as a company can have multiple partners.
Summary
Reliance Jio has entered a partnership with the Aptos Foundation and Aptos Labs to incorporate blockchain-based rewards into its services for 500 million users. The program, currently in beta testing with 9.4 million users, will utilize Aptos' layer-1 blockchain to distribute digital rewards focused on real-world utility. Aptos Labs will provide technical support for the project’s development and management.
