Mission

Avantis is on a mission to build products that uniquely combine crypto and global assets: One DEX, infinite strategies.

We're activating onchain traders by enabling them to express global macro views, combined with the power of onchain narratives.

Vision

We envision a world where leverage can be meaningfully used to trade and market-make not just crypto, but real-world assets, sports, prediction markets and much more. That's what we're building: One DEX, infinite possibilities.

Introduction

The Avantis Foundation is developing the Avantis protocol: an advance onchain exchange for cross-asset leverage, where users can long or short synthetic crypto, forex and commodities, or provide liquidity to power trading on these markets.

Synthetic leverage combined with a USDC stablecoin LP makes Avantis very capital efficient, allowing for a wide selection of trade-able assets and high leverage (up to 100x). We are also unlocking fine-grained risk management for our LPs via time and risk parameters, allowing any LP to be a sophisticated market maker for leverage trades.

Avantis has pioneered several innovative mechanisms that don't exist elsewhere in DeFi:

• Loss Rebates: A rebate on any losses for certain trades that help balance the platform's open interest skew

• Positive slippage: Better than market entry prices, for trades that balance open interest skew

• RWA access: Trade the Japanese Yen, Gold, Bitcoin, and much more in one terminal !

• Advanced risk management for liquidity providers: LPs can deposit USDC passively, or turn into active market makers by choosing a risk tranche, and deciding their time-lock.

Team

The Avantis protocol is created by the Avantis Foundation, who contracts several service providers as its developers. Several members contribute to the development of the Avantis protocol, including 11 crypto native individuals, with experience in engineering, investment banking, consulting, VC / private equity, incentive design, product design, and backend / frontend engineering. Cumulatively, the contributor team has over 20 years of experience in crypto.
