About Avantis

Avantis is the largest RWA perps DEX in DeFi, built on and backed by Base. Avantis allows users to trade crypto and real-world assets (RWAs), including FX, commodities, indices, and equities. Backed by Pantera and Coinbase, Avantis is the largest DEX on Base by volumes, and brings institutional-grade products to DeFi, letting users trade with up to 500x leverage in a transparent, permissionless environment. Avantis is best known for launching zero-fee perpetuals (ZFP) — a first-of-its-kind primitive where traders only pay fees if they profit. They've also brought leveraged RWAs onchain. This has driven explosive growth: over $20B+ in cumulative volume and 15M+ run-rate revenues since Febrruary 2024.
