About AVNT

AVNT is the native token of Avantis, a decentralized perpetuals exchange built on the Base network. Avantis is engineered to allow traders to engage with both cryptocurrency and Real-World Assets (RWAs), such as foreign exchange (FX) pairs and commodities, using high leverage (up to 500x). By building on Base, Avantis benefits from significantly lower transaction fees and faster execution. The AVNT token is a core utility asset for governance, staking, and incentivizing participation in this unified trading platform.

Key Points of AVNT

• Universal Leverage Layer: The platform offers high-leverage perpetuals trading on a combination of crypto, forex, commodities, and potentially stock indices, aggregated into a single, capital-efficient USDC-backed pool.
• Decentralized Governance: AVNT holders can propose and vote on key protocol decisions, including asset listings, fee structures, and major upgrades.
• Staking and Rewards: Staking AVNT allows holders to earn a significant portion of the trading fees generated by the platform.
• Incentives: The token is also used to reward liquidity providers and to offer fee discounts and XP boosts for active traders.
• Innovative Trading Tools: The platform features zero-fee trading (fees apply only to profitable trades) and loss rebates on losing trades that balance open interest.

FAQs

• What is AVNT used for?

AVNT's core uses are governance, staking to earn a share of trading fees, collateralizing the security module for protocol risk protection, and receiving trading fee discounts.

Tokenomics

AVNT has a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens. The structure is designed to avoid short-term dumping and promote long-term engagement:

• Community Allocation (50.1%): Dedicated to airdrops and staking rewards.
• Long-Term Commitment: Team and investor tokens are subject to lock-up periods (over 12 months) followed by linear vesting schedules.
• Demand Drivers: The multiple real-use cases (governance, staking, fee discounts) are designed to create demand for the token from various levels of the ecosystem.

Example Use Case

A seasoned trader who believes the Euro will strengthen against the US Dollar opens a high-leverage long position on the EUR/USD pair on Avantis. They stake their AVNT tokens to receive a discount on the trading fees for this position. Separately, another user, a long-term supporter of the platform, stakes their AVNT to participate in the governance vote on listing a new commodity, while simultaneously earning a share of the fees from all trades, including the one placed by the seasoned trader.
