About Avantis Labs

Avantis Labs is developing a full suite of composable margin-based exchanges, starting with Avantis. Our first product, Avantis, is a capital-efficient onchain exchange for leverage trading crypto, forex and commodities. In only 3 months since launch, Avantis has already done over $550 million in trade volumes, with $7.5 million deposited in its market-making vaults and over 8,000 traders served.

What makes us special?

• Backed by Pantera, Founders Fund, Galaxy and Coinbase, who believe in our vision of making leveraged trading and market making accessible to everyone, not just institutions. See: Techcrunch
• Building in a sector with proven product market fit (perpetuals), yet with 100x market whitespace vs. centralized exchanges
