The Problem

DeFi yield is dominated by either single-strategy delta-neutral books (concentration risk) or pure lending yields (low real returns). Smaller, non-Ethereum chains lack a native multi-strategy basis-trading dollar.

The Solution

Avant operates a multi-strategy market-neutral book on Avalanche, issuing 1:1 USDC-backed avUSD and a staked yield-bearing savUSD, with a junior-tranche MAX token that absorbs losses first in exchange for boosted yield.

Why it Matters

Two-tranche senior/junior loss waterfall (Ethena does not split tranches), multi-strategy diversification beyond pure basis trading, native deployment on Avalanche, and a 1-week cooldown 'MAX' boosted variant for risk-on yield seekers.
