AVNU

AVNU is a high-performance DEX aggregator protocol natively built for the Starknet ecosystem, focused on delivering optimal execution for every trade. Unlike standard decentralized exchanges, which rely on a single liquidity pool per token pair, AVNU scans and aggregates across all major AMMs on Starknet—including JediSwap, Ekubo, Haiko, SithSwap, and more. This ensures users always access the most favorable price, route, and slippage conditions for any given transaction, regardless of the current liquidity distribution.

At its core, AVNU offers a powerful liquidity routing engine designed to minimize price impact and trading costs. This engine intelligently splits trades across multiple liquidity sources and supports advanced features like multi-hop routing, reverse quoting (exact-out swaps), and deep optimization of price curves. These capabilities are especially useful in a fragmented DeFi environment where the same token pair might have drastically different quotes on different DEXs. By using AVNU, traders no longer need to jump between platforms or worry about overpaying for trades.

Beyond aggregation, AVNU introduces products tailored to modern DeFi use cases. AVNU Paymaster enables gas abstraction, allowing users to pay transaction fees with any token instead of just STRK. AVNU Spot integrates Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) strategies directly into the UI, making it easy for users to automate long-term investment plans. These products not only lower the barrier for entry but also empower dApps to provide seamless trading flows without complex user-side token management.

Compared to other aggregators like Matcha, 1inch, and Paraswap, AVNU’s biggest differentiator is its Starknet-native architecture. By building for this L2 from the ground up, AVNU is able to leverage unique features like zero-knowledge proofs, asynchronous messaging, and wallet-native integrations (e.g., ArgentX and Braavos). This results in faster execution, lower gas costs, and better security guarantees for users. For more details, visit the platform at https://app.avnu.fi.
