The Problem
On-chain leverage trading is fragmented across funding-rate-based perp DEXes that overcharge skew-aligned traders and limit the asset universe to crypto only.
The Solution
Avantis pools liquidity into a single USDC vault, replaces funding rates with rebates plus positive slippage, and introduces zero-fee perps that profit-share only on winners — extending the asset universe to FX, commodities, and indices.
Why it Matters
Base-native, RWA-first perp DEX with novel skew-balancing mechanics, dynamic LP withdrawal fees, and an AVNT-staked Security Module as second-loss protection for LPs.
