Avantis is a high-performance, fully on-chain derivatives exchange built to offer universal leverage across a diverse set of asset classes — including crypto, forex, metals, commodities, and other real-world assets (RWAs). Built on Base, Avantis combines a capital-efficient architecture with a powerful liquidity engine, enabling traders to seamlessly engage with global markets directly from their wallets.

The platform’s core innovation lies in giving users the ability to retain custody of their assets while accessing scalable leverage. With over $28B in cumulative trading volume and 65,000+ active users, Avantis is redefining the boundaries of decentralized finance by merging traditional and digital markets into a single, composable layer.

Avantis is designed to be the Universal Leverage Layer — a composable infrastructure where anyone can access high-speed, low-fee margin trading on a wide range of asset classes. Users can trade crypto pairs, major forex markets (like USD/JPY), and traditional commodities (such as gold (XAU) and silver (XAG)) from a single account, all while maintaining full self-custody of their funds. To learn more or start trading, visit Avantis.

The protocol is powered by $AVNT, its native utility and governance token. Token holders can participate in staking, earn trading rewards, access discounts, and vote on proposals through an open on-chain governance system. Avantis also introduces unique trading incentives like positive slippage rewards and loss protection rebates to encourage healthy market participation.

In contrast to most DEXs, Avantis supports multi-asset trading across both digital and traditional financial markets, including equities and real-world assets. Its fully integrated SDK and API support allows developers to build sophisticated trading bots, copy-trading tools, and even AI-driven order execution systems. Some competitors offering similar services include dYdX, Perpetual Protocol, and GMX. However, Avantis distinguishes itself by enabling seamless leverage across crypto, forex, and RWAs all within a single decentralized platform.

Backed by major investors including Pantera Capital, Founders Fund, and Coinbase (Base), Avantis continues to scale rapidly. With more than $28.9B+ in trading volume, a growing user base of over 65,000 traders, and integrations with partners like Keyrock, Zellic, and Alchemy, Avantis is building a sustainable ecosystem at the intersection of DeFi and traditional finance.

Avantis provides numerous benefits and features that make it a leading platform in the on-chain derivatives landscape:
