Lumena Labs is a core contributor to Avantis, an on-chain exchange for cross-asset leverage trading and market making.

Avantis is the world’s first fully on-chain exchange focused on cross-asset leverage (i.e., real world assets + crypto). We’re built on and backed by Base in addition to other leading traditional and crypto native funds like Galaxy, Founders Fund, and Pantera.

In six months since mainnet launch on Base, we’ve reached $1.3B+ in cumulative trading volumes, distributed $1.5M+ in revenues to LPs, and facilitated 350K+ trades.

Avantis enables synthetic access to RWAs, circumventing the need for 1:1 tokenization. This allows the platform to cater to genuine trader demand for currency and metal trades, along with traditional crypto asset leverage.

Avantis is the only exchange in DeFi where you’d find BTC-USD and USD-JPY trending on the same day!

Use Cases

Trading

Trading (i.e., speculation, hedging, or diversification) is a core DeFi use case.

Liquidity Provision

DeFi has enabled passive LPs (liquidity providers) to enable trading activity, akin to institutional market makers. Avantis takes this even further by opening up the design space via risk and time-based levers.

Real World Assets

Avantis connects on-chain capital with synthetic access to off-chain assets. Traders can hold assets like gold, silver, or the yen to hedge and diversify their holdings.
