Avantis is the largest derivatives exchange on Base, but also the largest DEX for trading and market-making real-world assets (RWAs). We’ve built a Universal Leverage Layer — one that allows anyone from anywhere, to trade markets that matter the most to them. From Bitcoin to Crude, Turkish Lira to US equity indices, with on-demand liquidity, capital efficiency, truly limitless leverage, fee optionality and most importantly, self-custody. Avantis is built on and backed by Base, alongside leading institutional funds like Pantera and Founders Fund, having raised $12M across 2 rounds of funding.
