We’re excited to announce our $8M Series A, co-led by Pantera Capital, Founders Fun.

This raise accelerates our vision to build DeFi’s universal leverage layer — for everything.

Gold, FX, Oil, Equities, Crypto, Sports and more: 24/7, fully onchain, and accessible to anyone.

The home of global assets on 
@base. | FX, Metals, Commodities, Crypto | USDC yield vaults | 500x leverage | Backed by 
@base, @panteracapital.

DeFi and RWAs can’t scale unless we fix two big problems.

- Problem #1: Unsustainable bubbles.
- Problem #2: RWA tokenization isn’t built for traders.

Let’s break it down ↓

Problem #1: Unsustainable bubbles

Retail has lost billions trying to chase CT fueled narrative pumps and illiquid memes.

DeFi needs to evolve. It’s time traders experienced the real thing: liquid macro assets and markets, with leverage — all onchain.

Problem #2: RWA tokenization isn't built for traders.

95% of RWA TVL is just passive U.S. T-bills or private credit, with zero opportunities for traders.

Avantis unlocks higher yields and trading alpha across a much wider selection of RWAs — FX, commodities, equities and more.

Our edge: TradFi depth, Degen speed.

Our fully doxxed team blends deep onchain experience in building a DEX, with 20+ years in TradFi at investment firms and FX desks in major banks.

This mix enables us to focus on what's ahead, especially in real-world assets and markets.

We're proud of how much we've accomplished in 1 year since mainnet launch:

→ Largest derivatives DEX on 
@base 
→ $7.5B+ in volume across 60K+ users
→ 70+ assets, 20+ RWAs.
→ Several innovative 0-1 products: Loss rebates, zero-fee perpetuals, zero-slippage BTC trading.
→ Vibrant partnerships 
Pyth network, superform, MorphoLabs and developer ecosystem (5+ major integrations with our SDK, including 
KeyRock, Copin and 
HyperLiquid).

Global markets, limitless leverage.

DeFi is inherently global. Yet the markets available in DeFi remain crypto native.

We're growing the onchain pie by creating trading and yield alpha, driven by real world events - inflation, rates, geopolitics, elections, sports & more.
