About Avantis

Avantis operates as a decentralized exchange (DEX) specializing in perpetual contracts for both cryptocurrencies and real-world assets (RWAs), such as foreign exchange, commodities, indices, and equities. Built on the Base blockchain, Avantis has established itself as a leading platform in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space, facilitating significant trading volumes. The platform is designed to cater to both retail and institutional traders, offering features such as up to 500x leverage in a transparent and permissionless trading environment. One of Avantis' notable innovations is the introduction of zero-fee perpetuals (ZFP), a unique trading model that allows users to incur fees only when they realize profits. This model, along with the integration of leveraged RWAs on-chain, has contributed to substantial growth metrics, including over $20 billion in cumulative trading volume and an annualized revenue run rate exceeding $15 million since its inception in February 2024.
