Avantis is an AMM-based perpetual DEX on Base offering up to 500x leverage across 90 markets. Launched in February 2024, it has grown within the Base ecosystem as one of the more aggressive platforms in terms of leverage offerings.
The platform charges a flat 0.06% for both maker and taker fees, using USDC as collateral with 1-hour funding intervals. The 500x maximum leverage on select markets places Avantis among the highest-leverage platforms in DeFi, though such extreme leverage carries correspondingly extreme risk.
Operating on Base gives Avantis access to the growing L2 ecosystem backed by Coinbase, with benefits including lower gas costs and increasing developer and user activity. The AMM model provides continuous liquidity without relying on active market makers to maintain an orderbook.
Avantis targets traders on Base who want high-leverage access to perpetual markets through an AMM model. Its position within the Base ecosystem and competitive market count make it a significant option for Coinbase-adjacent DeFi users.
