Decentralized Perpetuals Trading Platform Avantis, Known as AVNT
In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency, a new player has entered the scene – Avantis, a decentralized perpetuals exchange. Launched in September 2025, Avantis has quickly made its mark, offering a unique platform for trading real-world assets such as forex pairs, gold, oil, stock indices, and cryptocurrencies.
Avantis operates on Coinbase's Ethereum Layer-2 network, Base, providing a secure and efficient infrastructure for its operations. The exchange is powered by the AVNT token, a digital asset with a fixed total supply of one billion tokens.
The AVNT token serves multiple purposes within the Avantis ecosystem. It is used to reward liquidity providers, facilitate governance, enable staking, provide incentives, and function as fuel for the ecosystem. As of September 2025, between 209 and 263 million AVNT tokens are already in circulation.
The token allocation for AVNT is as follows: 28.6% for on-chain incentives, 26.6% for investors, 13.3% for team and advisors, 12.5% for Community Airdrop 1, 9% for Builder & Ecosystem Grants, 6% for Liquidity Reserve, 4% for Treasury/Foundation.
Avantis addresses the issues of centralized exchanges by offering transparency, non-custodial trading, and increased liquidity. The platform offers up to 500× leverage and a zero-fee model, making it an attractive option for traders. However, like any financial platform, Avantis carries risks such as high leverage leading to fast liquidations, smart contract bugs, and crypto market volatility.
In September 2025, Avantis was listed on Binance Alpha and Binance Futures, and AVNTUSDT perpetual contracts were launched on September 9, 2025. The AVNT team also ran airdrop campaigns on MEXC and WEEX, giving out $60,000 in rewards.
In an impressive debut, AVNT was listed on Coinbase Spot in September 2025, and trading volume surged to $1.54 billion in one day. As of now, AVNT is available on Coinbase Spot, Binance, Bybit, Upbit, and Bithumb.
Avantis uses synthetic perpetual contracts for trading, setting it apart from traditional exchanges. The fee system on Avantis is also different from centralized platforms, with fees only being charged on profitable trades.
With its innovative approach and commitment to merging traditional finance and DeFi, Avantis aims to become DeFi's universal leverage layer. It's an exciting development in the world of cryptocurrency, and we'll be watching its progress with interest.
