We're activating onchain traders by enabling them to express global macro views, combined with the power of onchain narratives. [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/#vision) Vision --------------------------------------------------------- We envision a world where leverage can be meaningfully used to trade and market-make not just crypto, but real-world assets, sports, prediction markets and much more. That's what we're building: One DEX, infinite possibilities. [https://x.com/avantisfi/status/1929932559611294023arrow-up-right](https://x.com/avantisfi/status/1929932559611294023) [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/#introduction) Introduction --------------------------------------------------------------------- Avantis protocol: an advanced onchain exchange for cross-asset leverage, where users can long or short synthetic crypto, forex and commodities, or provide liquidity to power trading on these markets. Synthetic leverage combined with a USDC stablecoin LP makes Avantis very capital efficient, allowing for a wide selection of trade-able assets and high leverage (up to 500x). We are also unlocking fine-grained risk management for our LPs via time and risk parameters, allowing any LP to be a sophisticated market maker for leverage trades, and building composable protocols on top of our leverage engine. Avantis has pioneered several innovative mechanisms that don't exist elsewhere in DeFi: * Loss Rebates: A rebate on any losses for certain trades that help balance the platform's open interest skew * Positive slippage: Better than market entry prices, for trades that balance open interest skew * RWA access: Trade the Japanese Yen, Gold, Bitcoin, and much more in one terminal ! * Zero-fee leverage: Pay only from your profits (popular among scalpers / short time-frame traders). * Advanced risk management for liquidity providers: LPs can deposit USDC passively, or turn into active market makers by choosing a risk tranche, and deciding their time-lock. ### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/#team) Team The Avantis protocol is created by the Avantis Foundation, who contracts several service providers as its developers. Several members contribute to the development of the Avantis protocol, including 14 crypto native individuals, with experience in engineering, investment banking, consulting, VC / private equity, incentive design, product design, and backend / frontend engineering. Cumulatively, the contributor team has over 20 years of cumulative experience in crypto. circle-info _Note: Please do not constitute anything written here or on our social channels as investment advice.

Avantis token holders can opt-in by staking their tokens in the SM. In return, they earn protocol rewards, XP boosts and fee discounts— but accept the theoretical risk of slashing if the module is activated to cover a loss. **Rewards** ![](https://docs.avantisfi.com/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F1312337203-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252F76vAZHPcNKY10NzuKsC4%252Fuploads%252FgUeI8MZkj9P98nALjWTD%252Fimage.png%3Falt%3Dmedia%26token%3Dbe91a166-1e82-432a-966a-5f35b76c597e&width=768&dpr=3&quality=100&sign=6acb643e&sv=2) $AVNT stakers are integral to the safety of protocol LPs. In exchange they receive: * **AVNT Rewards:** Stakers get additional $AVNT for securing the protocol. This will be available as soon as AVNT claims go live. The following staking benefit(s) are live: * **$AVNT yield:** Target APR of 20%, paid out every block in $AVNT. * **XP boosts:** In Season 3, the only way to attain boosts on accumulating XP is by staking $AVNT. Every Avantis user who stakes $AVNT is already accumulating XP boosts in Season 3. This XP boost will be retroactively reflected once Season 3 officially goes live on our UI. This XP will translate into future airdrops, giving the highest share of $AVNT to the most loyal stake (stakers get a max boost of 3x, weighted by stake duration and amount). Learn more [here](https://docs.avantisfi.com/rewards/avantis-xp/season-3/xp-boosts-season-3) . * **Coming soon:** Over the coming days and weeks, we will be releasing the following upgrades to $AVNT: * **Fee discounts:** Traders can stake AVNT to get up to 40% discount on both fixed-fee and ZFP (profit sharing perps). This is to ensure maximum alignment between $AVNT with Avantis' trading community. * **Buy-backs:** Systematic buy-backs to drive sustainable value capture for $AVNT. **Staking Risk: Slashing** Avantis' liquidity providers are effectively taking the opposite side of trading activity. During extreme market volatility, there can be situations in which OI (open interest) gets skewed one way for a short time, and the market price action goes one way too. This can cause impermanent loss for LPs (same as in a DEX pool when prices diverge). If LPs pull capital out during these times, they can realize this loss. Avantis has a strong buffer to safeguard against these types of principal drawdowns (the buffer itself builds up during the normal course of trading activity via trading fees). Slashing is only activated if the vault buffer ratio drops **<0.95 and the entire LP loss is realized** because traders close their trades (i.e a **\>=5%** immediate loss to LPs). The maximum stake that can be slashed is **20%** of staked AVNT. However in the history of the protocol: * Max realized single day share price drawdown for LPs has only been 30bps (0.30%) * Since august 2024, there have been realized LP losses at all (see attached share price chart which shows linear growth without any downturns i.e no realized losses). ![](https://docs.avantisfi.com/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F1312337203-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252F76vAZHPcNKY10NzuKsC4%252Fuploads%252F8VQ8328yjZCuR8myY5Yx%252FScreenshot%25202025-09-08%2520at%25206.15.11%25E2%2580%25AFPM.png%3Falt%3Dmedia%26token%3D98728251-9c9c-48e5-b1ac-421bf8ca61f3&width=768&dpr=3&quality=100&sign=b4cf2509&sv=2) **This means in the operating history of the protocol there has been no hypothetical slashing event (had AVNT been live on day 1 of mainnet).** We also have a healthy protocol treasury, which can be used to fill the buffer. It's also worth noting that the "max slashing" parameter of 20% (i.e the max % of staked tokens that can be slashed, is 20% of stake at most). **To summarize - slashing is an extremely low probability event, reserved for long-tail events when the protocol's treasury cannot cover large, realized losses to LPs.** [PreviousAVNT Tokenchevron-left](https://docs.avantisfi.com/avnt-token) [Next$AVNT Buyback and Burn.chevron-right](https://docs.avantisfi.com/avnt-token/usdavnt-buyback-and-burn.) Last updated 3 months ago --- # $AVNT Buyback and Burn. | Avantis Avantis operates a **systematic, revenue-linked buyback and burn program** that ties $AVNT token supply reduction directly to protocol revenue. This page covers how the program works, the fee allocation structure, verification methods, and the roadmap for scaling. ![](https://docs.avantisfi.com/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F1312337203-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252F76vAZHPcNKY10NzuKsC4%252Fuploads%252F8Ypc4wDbDsaRbwcpAKVO%252Fimage.png%3Falt%3Dmedia%26token%3Dbb35a14b-7a14-4c59-abc3-25ff0e9a8dc9&width=768&dpr=3&quality=100&sign=d0329937&sv=2) * * * ### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/avnt-token/usdavnt-buyback-and-burn.#overview) Overview The Buyback & Burn program allocates a percentage of daily protocol trading fees to purchase $AVNT on the open market and permanently remove it from circulating supply. This mechanism ensures that as protocol usage grows, token supply decreases — creating a direct, transparent link between Avantis's economic activity and $AVNT value accrual. **Key properties:** * **Systematic** — Executes daily, automatically, and proportionally to revenue. * **Revenue-linked** — Buyback volume scales with trading activity. * **Permanent** — All purchased tokens are sent to a burn address and removed from supply forever. * **Verifiable** — Every purchase and burn is onchain and publicly auditable. * * * ### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/avnt-token/usdavnt-buyback-and-burn.#how-it-works) How It Works #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/avnt-token/usdavnt-buyback-and-burn.#eligible-fees) Eligible Fees 30% of all trading fees is directed to buying back $AVNT, here's the breakdown: Fee Type Included in Buybacks? Details Opening fees ✅ Yes Charged when a position is opened Closing fees ✅ Yes Charged when a position is closed Win fees ✅ Yes Charged on profitable trades Margin fees ❌ No 100% allocated to LPs Liquidation fees ❌ No Allocated to protocol treasury #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/avnt-token/usdavnt-buyback-and-burn.#excluded-fee-rationale) Excluded Fee Rationale **Margin fees** are excluded because they compensate liquidity providers for their cost of capital and serve as a hedge against trading volatility and unhedged trades. Directing 100% of margin fees to LPs ensures LP protection and sustainable liquidity depth. **Liquidation fees** are excluded because they fund the protocol treasury, covering operational costs for the core team. #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/avnt-token/usdavnt-buyback-and-burn.#daily-execution) Daily Execution Each day, the designated percentage of eligible fees is used to: 1. **Purchase** $AVNT on the open market. 2. **Burn** the purchased tokens by sending them to a null address, permanently removing them from supply. Buyback volume adjusts proportionally — higher protocol revenue means more tokens bought and burned; lower revenue means fewer. There is no fixed dollar amount or manual intervention. * * * ### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/avnt-token/usdavnt-buyback-and-burn.#current-fee-allocation) Current Fee Allocation #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/avnt-token/usdavnt-buyback-and-burn.#milestone-1-live-now) Milestone 1 — Live Now **30% of daily opening, closing, and win fees** are allocated to buyback and burn. Fee Type Allocation Opening / Closing / Win fees 30% → Buyback & Burn Opening / Closing / Win fees 70% → Liquidity Providers Margin fees 100% → Liquidity Providers Liquidation fees 100% → Protocol Treasury The core principle: operate at break-even while directing the majority of revenue back to token buybacks and ecosystem growth (LP + trader incentives). * * * ### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/avnt-token/usdavnt-buyback-and-burn.#milestone-roadmap) Milestone Roadmap #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/avnt-token/usdavnt-buyback-and-burn.#milestone-1-30-allocation) Milestone 1 — 30% Allocation ✅ * **Status:** Live * **Allocation:** 30% of daily opening, closing, and win fees * **Activation:** Immediate, no conditions #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/avnt-token/usdavnt-buyback-and-burn.#milestone-2-50--allocation) Milestone 2 — 50%+ Allocation 🔜 * **Status:** Planned (target: end of Q2) * **Allocation:** 50%+ of daily trading fees * **Activation condition:** Completion of protocol economic upgrades Milestone 2 is **not** tied to an arbitrary revenue number. It activates once the following structural improvements are complete: * **LP capital efficiency improvements** — Optimizing how liquidity is deployed. * **Liquidity architecture upgrades** — Evaluating removal or restructuring of protocol-owned LP positions to increase the sustainable fee share captured by the protocol. * **System risk management enhancements** — Ensuring higher buyback allocations do not compromise trading liquidity or system stability. These upgrades enable a higher allocation to buybacks without reducing LP returns or degrading the trading experience. > **Design principle:** Allocation scales alongside structural upgrades, not arbitrary thresholds. * * * ### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/avnt-token/usdavnt-buyback-and-burn.#verification) Verification All buyback and burn activity is fully transparent and on-chain.

Perpetual contracts, also known as "perpetuals," are a type of derivative contract that allow traders to speculate on the price of an underlying asset, such as a cryptocurrency, without actually owning the asset. These contracts are called "perpetual" because they do not have an expiration date and can be held indefinitely. Perpetual contracts differ from traditional futures contracts in that they do not have a fixed expiration date and do not require traders to physically settle the contract at a future date. Instead, traders are required to maintain a margin balance in their account, which is used to collateralize their position and ensure that they are able to meet their financial obligations under the contract ### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/trading/overview#trading-platform-design-principles) Trading Platform: Design Principles Our trading platform has been designed with two parties in mind: #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/trading/overview#id-1.-traders) 1\.

Avantis does not perform internal price discovery (it is not a centralized exchange). Instead, all execution prices are sourced from premium external oracle networks to ensure the best execution for traders. #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/trading/accurate-oracle-execution#accurate-oracles-with-minimal-risk-and-low-latency-pyth-pro) Accurate Oracles with Minimal Risk and Low Latency (Pyth Pro) **1\. Weighted Price Feeds:** To mitigate price manipulation and ensure resilience during volatile conditions, Avantis sources price data from **Pyth Pro** — an enterprise-grade oracle network with direct pricing contributions from exchanges, market makers, and trading firms. Pyth Pro aggregates prices with confidence intervals and filters unreliable sources to maintain high accuracy and stability. **2\. On-Demand Pricing:** Oracle latency is a common risk for on-chain pricing. Avantis minimizes this risk through **on-demand price pulls**: before every trade, the latest Pyth Pro prices are requested and validated on-chain, reducing the chance of stale or delayed data. > Note - Pyth Pro price feeds are live for all markets except WTI-USD which operates of Pyth Hermes price feeds until support for Pyth Pro goes live. **3\. Fail-Safe Smart Contracts:** If price feeds exhibit excessively wide confidence intervals or otherwise fall outside acceptable parameters, transactions are prevented from executing, protecting both traders and the protocol. **Trading on Avantis has become faster and more accurate, powered by @PythNetwork Pro feeds**, as announced on Avantis’ official channel. #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/trading/accurate-oracle-execution#chainlink-oracle-for-maximum-decentralization) Chainlink Oracle for Maximum Decentralization To maximize decentralization and provide an additional security layer, Avantis also incorporates **Chainlink price feeds** as a fallback and cross-verification source. In this dual-oracle model: * For each trade, Avantis fetches the latest Pyth Pro price and compares it with the corresponding Chainlink feed. * If the deviation between the Pyth Pro on-demand price and the Chainlink feed exceeds a configured threshold (e.g., 5% on liquid pairs), the transaction fails and the user must retry. * Both feeds must be present and valid for execution to proceed. > _Example:_ If Pyth Pro’s on-demand price for ETH is $1600 but the Chainlink feed reports $1400, the 14.3% divergence exceeds the 5% threshold, and the transaction will fail. > > Note - Chainlink cross-verification applies to markets live both on Pyth network and Chainlink network [PreviousFAQschevron-left](https://docs.avantisfi.com/trading/onramp-usdc/faqs) [NextGuaranteed SLs / TPschevron-right](https://docs.avantisfi.com/trading/guaranteed-sls-tps) Last updated 1 month ago --- # Market Hours | Avantis #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/trading/market-hours#market-hours) Market Hours Since Avantis relies on Pyth price oracles, we follow their market hours (which in turn are the [traditional market hoursarrow-up-right](https://www.cmegroup.com/trading-hours.html) of each asset class), available at the following hours: Asset Class Opening Hours Exceptions Crypto 24/7 No market close Forex From Sunday 5PM ET to Friday 5PM ET Trading continues during most US holidays Metals From Sunday 5PM ET to Friday 5PM ET Spot gold and silver trading also follow [CME holiday closuresarrow-up-right](https://www.cmegroup.com/tools-information/holiday-calendar.html) Commodities WTI: From Sunday 6PM ET to Friday 5PM ET Daily maintenance window applies from 5PM ET to 6PM ET and follow [CME holiday closuresarrow-up-right](https://www.cmegroup.com/tools-information/holiday-calendar.html) U.S Indices (SPY , QQQ) Every weekday from 9.30AM ET to 4PM ET Markets are closed on weekends, and follow [NYSE Holidays & Trading Hoursarrow-up-right](https://www.nyse.com/markets/hours-calendars) U.S equities Every weekday from 9.30AM ET to 4PM ET Markets are closed on weekends, and follow [NYSE Holidays & Trading Hoursarrow-up-right](https://www.nyse.com/markets/hours-calendars) [PreviousGuaranteed SLs / TPschevron-left](https://docs.avantisfi.com/trading/guaranteed-sls-tps) [NextPrice Gapschevron-right](https://docs.avantisfi.com/trading/market-hours/price-gaps) Last updated 14 days ago --- # FAQs | Avantis ### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/trading/onramp-usdc/faqs#support) **Support** For payment issues, KYC concerns, delays, or chargebacks, contact: 👉 **Fun.xyz Support:** [https://intercom.help/funxyz/en/articles/10732578-contact-usarrow-up-right](https://intercom.help/funxyz/en/articles/10732578-contact-us) Avantis cannot intervene in payment or compliance flows. #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/trading/onramp-usdc/faqs#is-avantis-processing-my-card-payment) **Is Avantis processing my card payment?** No. All payments, verification, and compliance checks are handled by Fun.xyz and their partner processors. * * * #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/trading/onramp-usdc/faqs#who-do-i-contact-for-support) **Who do I contact for support?** All support related to: * Failed deposits * KYC issues * Chargebacks * Payment holds * Card declines * Exchange linking issues * Wallet provisioning problems …must go directly through [**Fun.xyz Support**arrow-up-right](https://intercom.help/funxyz/en/articles/10732578-contact-us) , not Avantis.

A price gap occurs when the market opens at a significantly different price level than where it closed. This can happen due to various factors, such as: * When economic data is released – particularly if it contains data that the market isn’t expecting * As major news events are announced, particularly global and/or unexpected news * When trading resumes after a weekend or holiday—especially if major news is announced in that period circle-info As a practical example, our team found that on average, EUR-USD had an absolute price gap of 0.40% over the last year. This means that as a trader if you were using 10x leverage on a long EUR-USD position, and the price moved down 0.40% the next day, the effective PnL impact would be -4.00%! If your stop loss was set at -3.00%, it would not execute there, it would instead execute at -4.00% Price gaps can cause significant losses or gains for traders who have open positions. Exact stop losses and take-profits cannot be guaranteed because of these price gaps (as a certain stop loss or take profit might be "skipped" because of the gap, effectively filling at a different price than expected). We recommend exercising caution while keeping trades open after market hours (especially because leverage can amplify gains or losses). Read more about price gaps [herearrow-up-right](https://www.forex.com/en-us/trading-academy/courses/managing-risk/market-gaps-and-slippage/) circle-info Stop losses and take-profits cannot be guaranteed at the requested price, because of price gaps (as a certain stop loss or take profit might be "skipped" because of the gap in opening versus closing price, effectively filling at a worse price). We recommend exercising caution while keeping trades open after market hours to prevent unexpected gains or losses #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/trading/market-hours/price-gaps#caution-liquidation-after-market-hours) Caution: Liquidation after-market hours. For asset classes like equities, price-gaps can affect liquidations even after market-hours. Meaning, if price moves against a trader after the market closes, the trade can be liquidated. This is a safety measure meant to protect against after-market volatility, and price gap exploits.

Most RWAs have a very liquid global orderbook, which is why spreads are generally very favorable. #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/trading/trading-fees-fixed-fee-perpetuals/commodities#dynamic-margin-fee) **Dynamic Margin fee** A margin fee applies to the collateral value of a position each block (and is displayed in a hourly format on the website). This is to make sure traders do not borrow most of the vault's capacity, and also leave room for other traders to take part in trading against the vault. It is also dependent on how skewed the positioning is in a particular asset, with a higher fee for traders on the skewed side (eg if skew is 90-10 long-short, longs will pay a higher margin fee). Hence, it is both a risk management measure, as well as a fair parameter that allows for several traders to utilize the platform. The formula for determining the fee at any moment will be based on several factors. It can be summed up as: **Hourly Margin Fee =** **Base Fee\* \[(1/(1- Blended Utilization ratio \* Skew Ratio))-1\]** 1. Base Fee: A fixed fee that varies per pair based on each pair's volatility. E.g, Base fee for Gold is 0.0025%/hour and Silver is is 0.005% / hour 2. Blended Utilization= 0.75 \*Category Utilization + 0.25\* Asset Utilization 3. Asset Utilization= USDC Borrowed / USDC Limit for the Specific Asset 4. Category Utilization= USDC Borrowed / USDC Limit for the Defined Category 5. Long Skew Ratio= Long Open Interest for the specific asset /( Long Open Interest + Short Open Interest for the specific asset) circle-info Example: The open interest on long positions for Silver is $10,000, and open interest for short positions for Silver is $500, while blended limit utilization is 20%, ie 0.2. In this case, the long short ratio is = $10,000 / (10,000 + 500) = 95% long, 5% short. Clearly, we do not want the protocol to always be in this state. Hence, the margin fees paid by longs would be 10.27% annualized (0.12 bps/hour), while shorts would only pay 0.44% annualized (0.005 bps/hour). This makes going long (both for new positions and existing positions) expensive, and urges traders to close out their positions. On the other hand, shorting is cheap!

Unlike perpetual CFDs, **futures contracts have fixed expiries**, so their reference prices periodically switch to the next active contract (called a "roll"). To ensure trading continues smoothly and PnL remains consistent across these expiries, a **roll adjustment** is performed at each rollover. Periodic futures rollovers ensure continuity across contract expiries without affecting users’ PnL. When a futures contract expires, all open positions transition (or “roll”) to the next active contract while maintaining economic neutrality. ### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/trading/future-feeds-roll-adjustment#concept) Concept At each expiry, futures roll from the expiring contract to the next month’s contract. Since each contract has a different price, a **price adjustment** ensures all positions remain **PnL-neutral**. **Example** WTI futures: * Expiring contract = 90.55 * New contract = 87.85 * Price adjustment = 87.85 − 90.55 = **–2.70** All open WTI positions will have their **entry price decreased by 2.70**, keeping the same open interest (OI). This keeps unrealized PnL unchanged while aligning all positions to the new reference contract price. All open limit orders on the affected pair will be **cancelled** during the roll process to avoid unintended executions against the new contract price. After the roll is complete, traders can re-place fresh limit orders based on the updated market context. All profit targets (TPs) and stop losses (SLs) will be **translated proportionally** relative to the new open price. For example, if your SL was 5% away from your old open price before the roll, it will remain 5% away from your new open price after the roll; the same applies to TPs, preserving your original risk–reward profile.

Here’s how it works: ![](https://docs.avantisfi.com/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F1312337203-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252F76vAZHPcNKY10NzuKsC4%252Fuploads%252FYshzZFFwb4e2oQRpNhiP%252FScreenshot%25202025-04-03%2520at%25206.34.48%25E2%2580%25AFPM.png%3Falt%3Dmedia%26token%3D9b93874f-cf52-4f0b-8cc6-1eee193e0593&width=768&dpr=3&quality=100&sign=86d36ac2&sv=2) * Say bob wants to open a ETH long trade and chooses zero-fee perps. * This would allow Bob to open a position size of $1M ($10K collateral, times 100x leverage) for free! This means: * No opening fees or fixed closing fees. * No borrow fees (”holding costs”). * As the trade goes on, one of two things can happen 1. Bob is right, and his gross PNL is positive. Say the price moves 1% in his favor, meaning on 100x leverage he is now up 2x on his collateral. * _Bob will now pay a fraction of his profits as fees._ 2. Bob is wrong, and his gross PNL is negative * Bob doesn’t pay any close fees, or borrow fees while closing the trade. In option A, Bob made pure profits without putting up any fees upfront, and also earned Avantis XP. In option B, Bob only lost on gross PNL (market moves), however did not give up any portion of his collateral to fees, and also potentially earned some Avantis XP! This is how zero-fee perps work! It allows you to hold onto a perp position for much longer than a traditional perp, and also focuses on fee sharing only after traders are profitable. **This closely aligns the protocol to LPs and traders.** [PreviousZero-Fee Perpetuals (ZFP)chevron-left](https://docs.avantisfi.com/trading/zero-fee-perpetuals-zfp) [NextFee structure & Comparisonchevron-right](https://docs.avantisfi.com/trading/zero-fee-perpetuals-zfp/fee-structure-and-comparison) Last updated 1 year ago --- # Equities | Avantis **Types of Fees** Fee / Incentive Value [Opening Fee](https://docs.avantisfi.com/trading/trading-fees-fixed-fee-perpetuals/equities#opening-fee-0.06-0.08-position-size) 4.5 bps [Closing Fee](https://docs.avantisfi.com/trading/trading-fees-fixed-fee-perpetuals/equities#closing-fee-0.06-0.08-adjusted-position-size) 4.5 bps [Loss Protection Incentive](https://docs.avantisfi.com/rewards/loss-rebates) 10% [Dynamic Margin fee](https://docs.avantisfi.com/trading/trading-fees-fixed-fee-perpetuals/equities#dynamic-margin-fee) Targets 10% APR within normal (non-skewed) market conditions, assuming 50% utilization.

In the above example, if a trader puts up $100 of collateral at a 30x leverage, then the total position size would be $3,000. After deducting the opening fee (and assuming no change in the price of the underlying asset), the leveraged position size with an accumulated margin fee on the position of $10 is $(3000-10) =$2990.

For all other crypto alts, its at 8bps. #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/trading/trading-fees-fixed-fee-perpetuals/crypto#dynamic-spread) Dynamic Spread In order to account for excessively large trades on lower liquidity assets, there is a dynamic spread (price impact) that is applied on the total position size of a leveraged trade. This spread is reguarly updated with the goal of matching liquidity across other exchanges. Currently, the spread estimates the volume required to make a price impact of 1% based on the orderbooks of the most liquid exchanges, and then extrapolates this 1% impact depending on the trading size. The dynamic spread also takes into account whether the trade increase or balances skew via a skew impact component. _**Dynamic Spread = Constant Spread + Price Impact Spread + Skew Impact Spread**_ _where,_ _Constant Spread_ is a constant parameter for each asset, _Price Impact Spread = max ( exp(Tradesize/1% Orderbook Depth/Price Impact Parameter) -1 , Tradesize/1% Orderbook Depth),_ _Skew impact spread=Skew Parameter \*\[_ exp (skew after trade)- exp (skew before trade)+exp (1-skew after trade)- exp (1-skew before trade)_\]_ An an example, assume the dynamic spread is calculated as 0.1% based on trade size and skew. If the pair is currently priced at $1,520, the dynamic spread will then be 0.1% \* $1,520 = $1.52. Hence for a long trade, the user will enter at a price of $1,521.52 **Zero Slippage** Avantis' unique synthetic vAMM allows for zero slippage on $BTC!

Well, profit sharing (win-fees) vary based on one important outcome: what is your ROI? Zero-fee perps are designed to reward higher returns: **As your ROI increases, you keep a larger percentage of your profits**. Profit sharing can be as low as 2.5% of your gross profits. This is to encourage traders to cash out when they’re the most in profit, while also ensuring LPs are fairly compensated for allowing traders to scalp in and out of positions without paying any fixed or borrowing fees. ![](https://docs.avantisfi.com/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F1312337203-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252F76vAZHPcNKY10NzuKsC4%252Fuploads%252FXBKvihgT36Kd0A0d1jhA%252Fimage.png%3Falt%3Dmedia%26token%3Df95167d8-b711-42eb-8d19-4963732e3d2b&width=768&dpr=3&quality=100&sign=551e756c&sv=2) ![](https://docs.avantisfi.com/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffiles.oaiusercontent.com%2Ffile-1VhqaGoQmkGbfv76VyfoKV%3Fse%3D2025-06-15T19%253A39%253A50Z%26sp%3Dr%26sv%3D2024-08-04%26sr%3Db%26rscc%3Dmax-age%253D299%252C%2520immutable%252C%2520private%26rscd%3Dattachment%253B%2520filename%253D495248c7-cb67-409a-8fd7-44872b7809cc%26sig%3DeTFBYyYSq84yinBZD8pNlmlWwD9CGJyZLISafOIwqOk%253D&width=768&dpr=3&quality=100&sign=56fbbba&sv=2) ZFP traders keep more of their profits, the higher their ROI is. On average traders keep ~80%+ of their profits without paying anything upfront. **Fixed Fees vs Zero-fee perps: Quantitative modeling** Another interesting way to understand whether you’d want to stick to fixed-fee trading or trade zero-fee perps, is by looking at net PNL for zero-fees vs fixed fees perps (in relation to the underlying crypto asset’s price moves and leverage). It’s important to do this under some core assumptions (Avantis’ trading terminal also has a live calculator where you can enter these variables). 1. **Zero-fee perps** 1. Zero fees for losing trades. 2. Variable profit-sharing (win-fees) as low as 2.5% of gross PNL, based on ROI. As your ROI increases, you keep a larger percentage of your profits. 2. **Fixed fees** 1. 0.06% open / close fees for BTC (charged on position size). 2. Borrow Fees: 10% APR, charged on position size. 3. Spreads: The same [dynamic spreads](https://docs.bloom.trading/bloom/) that apply to fixed-fee perps, also apply to Zero-fee perps. 4. Duration: In both cases, let’s assume the trade is open for 7 days. 5. Collateral / Leverage: Trader has $100 in collateral, with varying degrees of leverage (anywhere from 10x-100x). 6. Underlying price move (for the asset in question, eg BTC) has been shown to vary from 0.05% to 25%. ![](https://docs.avantisfi.com/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F1312337203-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252F76vAZHPcNKY10NzuKsC4%252Fuploads%252Fhmcw7ccSlzF8LxlcGjXm%252Fimage.png%3Falt%3Dmedia%26token%3D764ee6db-d907-4189-a74f-a5747a77beed&width=768&dpr=3&quality=100&sign=8924b5a6&sv=2) Fixed-fee perps vs zero-fee perps #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/trading/zero-fee-perpetuals-zfp/fee-structure-and-comparison#key-takeaways) **Key Takeaways** 🔴 With fixed fee perps, you need a much larger price move to even break even. 🟢 However, with zero-fee perps, small price moves can still be profitable, making it a far better model for most traders, especially loss-averse traders. 🔴 With fixed fee perps, position decay is much higher given borrow fees eat into collateral over time. The above analysis only assumes that a position is held for 7 days, but the impact is much larger for longer holds. 🟢 Zero-fee perps have zero borrow fees, allowing traders to hold positions for much longer without any change in liquidation price. 🔴 Zero-fee perps are only available for a minimum leverage of 75x. If you're a risk managed, mid-long term perp trader, it generally does not make any sense to trade fixed fee perpetuals.

The fee is determined according to skew: Long Skew Short Skew Long Opening Fee (bps) Short Opening Fee (bps) 1 0 5 1 0.9 0.1 4.5 1.5 0.8 0.2 4 2 0.7 0.3 3.5 2.5 0.6 0.4 3 3 0.5 0.5 3 3 0.4 0.6 3 3 0.3 0.7 2.5 3.5 0.2 0.8 2 4 0.1 0.9 1.5 4.5 0 1 1 5 #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/trading/trading-fees-fixed-fee-perpetuals/forex#fixed-spread-0.01) Fixed Spread: 0.01% Forex markets, especially for major pairs are generally very liquid, while being less volatile than the crypto market. Hence, unlike cryptocurrencies (where the spread is dynamic), we only charge a fixed spread of 0.01% on certain forex assets, to account for any minor (and unfavorable) price movements that occur right between a trade order being sent, and it being executed onchain. This spread is only charged upon opening an order, not closing. **Zero Spreads** Pay absolutely no spreads on top 3 FX Pairs (EUR-USD, USD-JPY and GBP-USD). #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/trading/trading-fees-fixed-fee-perpetuals/forex#dynamic-margin-fee) **Dynamic Margin fee** A margin fee applies to the collateral value of a position each block (and is displayed in a hourly format on the website). This is to make sure traders do not borrow most of the vault's capacity, and also leave room for other traders to take part in trading against the vault. It is also dependent on how skewed the positioning is in a particular asset, with a higher fee for traders on the skewed side (eg if skew is 90-10 long-short, longs will pay a higher margin fee). Hence, it is both a risk management measure, as well as a fair parameter that allows for several traders to utilize the platform. The formula for determining the fee at any moment will be based on several factors. It can be summed up as: **Hourly Margin Fee =** **Base Fee\* \[(1/(1- Blended Utilization ratio \* Blended Skew Ratio))-1\]** 1. Base Fee: A fixed fee at 0.0015% / hour 2. Blended Utilization= 0.75 \*Category Utilization + 0.25\* Asset Utilization 3. Asset Utilization= USDC Borrowed / USDC Limit for the Specific Asset 4. Category Utilization= USDC Borrowed / USDC Limit for the Defined Category 5. Blended Skew = 0.75 \*Category Skew + 0.25\* Asset Skew 6. Long Asset Skew Ratio= Long Open Interest for the specific asset /( Long Open Interest + Short Open Interest for the specific asset) 7. Long Category Skew Ratio= Long Open Interest for the whole category/( Long Open Interest + Short Open Interest for the whole category) circle-info Example: The open interest on long positions for EUR-USD is $10,000, and open interest for short positions for EUR-USD is $500 while long and short open interests for FX as a category are $15000 and 2000$ respectively. FX category OI limit is $150,000 and EURUSD OI limit is $100,000. In this case, the blended utilization ratio is 0.75\*(15000+2000)/150000 + 0.25\*(10000+500)/100000 =0.153 and the blended skew ratio is 0.75\*(15000/(15000+2000)) + 0.25\* (10000/(10000+500)) = 0.899, or 89.9% long and 10.1% short. Hence, the margin fees paid by longs would be 2.11% annualized (0.024 bps/hour), while shorts would pay 0.21% annualized (0.0023 bps/hour).

For this, an execution fee is paid to the keeper upon opening or closing a trade. These fees are directly paid to the blockchain by the keeper, and not to the Avantis smart contract. In order to ensure fairness for both the keeper (whether this is a keeper run by Avantis or the community) and the trader, we calculate keeper fees dynamically every time a user places a trade or closes it. This ensures: 1. Keepers are not covering the gas cost of a transaction personally. 2.

Your position can still be liquidated, even if price doesn’t move against you. But how? * Orderbook (CLOBs) DEXs and CEXs charge you funding rates for taking the popular side. If you hold for too long, these fees can lead to liquidations. More often than not, crypto markets are long-biased, meaning long traders pay funding fees constantly to short traders. * AMMs: Fully onchain perpetuals exchanges powered by LP pools (like Avantis, GMX, Gains) charge a borrowing fee. This too can eat into net profits and cause liquidations over time. In addition, there’s two major economic issues with perps: * Fixed fees reduce your alpha: Traders always need a certain price move to “breakeven” on costs. * Changing liquidation prices (impacted by funding and / or borrow fees) creates inefficient risk management for high leverage trades. * Borrow fees (or funding rates) erode your collateral over time [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/trading/zero-fee-perpetuals-zfp#pay-only-if-you-win) Pay only if you win. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Data from popular perp exchanges shows that 90%+ traders end up losing money trading perps.

Specifically, traders on the less skewed side of the market will receive guaranteed rebate on trading losses. These rebates are tiered based on the market skew at the time of opening the trade (net of the trade's impact on skew). {0%if 0≤skew<550−20%if 55≤skew<100\\begin{cases} 0\\% & \\text{if } 0 \\leq skew < 55 \\\\ 0-20\\% & \\text{if } 55 \\leq skew< 100 \\end{cases}{0%0−20%​if 0≤skew<55if 55≤skew<100​ Note: 1. The loss rebate tier varies by asset, and asset class (from 0% - 20%). Please refer to the market selector dropdown in avantisfi.com/trade, for the latest loss protection rebate %. 2. Once a trade receives loss protection, it does not reset even if the skew trends back to a balanced (close to 50-50 long / short skew) state. This is the beauty of loss protection rebates, they are like a call option that does not expire until you close your position! ![](https://docs.avantisfi.com/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F1312337203-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252F76vAZHPcNKY10NzuKsC4%252Fuploads%252FpFsalmeJpeQqVchhVe6V%252Fskew_adjusted_loss_protection.png%3Falt%3Dmedia%26token%3D938c3f52-3115-4c2b-974e-e961c7d836bd&width=768&dpr=3&quality=100&sign=e78c8a44&sv=2) Loss protection for crypto blue chips (ETH / BTC / SOL). This incentive for traders on the non-skewed side will encourage a more balanced distribution of open interest, minimizing risk for liquidity providers and bolstering the overall stability of the protocol. It also allows for several novel directional and arbitrage trades ! See below for some examples on how loss protection works: circle-info Scenario: 85% of the platform's open interest is long $ETH, and 15% is short $ETH. Example 1: A brave directional trader (or hedger) wants to short $ETH with $10,000 of collateral. In this case if the trader gets liquidated, we give him back $2,000 of his collateral. Example 2 (Directional Trader): If the net PnL of the above trader is -20%, then technically the trader should have lost $2,000 (20% of $10K). However, with loss protection, the trader only loses $2000 \* (1-20%) = $1,600. This is the magic of loss protection ! Example 3 (Modified Basis Trade): Loss protection can also be used to open a "modified basis trade". When OI is skewed (i.e not balanced), basis traders generally go long on an asset on one exchange, and short on the same asset such that they're delta-neutral, but are collecting "funding fees". Given funding fees are variable (so the arb goes away), in a bull-market, a basis-trader could instead go short the same asset on Avantis, and close the trade if the price moves down. This gives the trader the loss protection incentive while remaining delta neutral. ### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/rewards/loss-rebates#loss-rebates-arbitrage-a-novel-defi-trading-strategy) Loss Rebates Arbitrage: A novel DeFi trading strategy Check the below links to understand how professional market making firms like Keyrock are utilizing Avantis' novel loss protection mechanism to keep LPs protected, while arbitraging funding rates and loss rebates (on Avantis vs other exchanges): 1.

This is much more effective than distributing returns all at once since it avoids situations where late LPs earn a higher return for the amount of time they were staked. The current period of distribution is set to be every hour, with new fees projected to return over a period of 7 days. This is on a rolling basis, so any accumulation of fees will continuously be distributed. circle-info For example, consider a scenario where a total of $1,000 in fees is generated from liquidations. In this case, $1,000 will be distributed to the LP vault. Let's assume that the vault has $10,000 in TVL. This means that over 7 days (or 7 \* 24 = 168 hours), every hour, 1 / 168 of the new fees, or $5.95 will be distributed.

In order to make this happen, we scale open interest in the following ways: 1. First, the theoretical maximum open interest (Max OI) is set to 90% of total TVL across our market-making vaults. This ensures there is enough liquidity available for traders, while keeping a small buffer to facilitate smooth LP withdrawals if needed. 2. Second, we divide up this maximum open interest into its constituent asset classes. In the beginning, we offer crypto, forex and precious metals pairs, but over time, max OI will be shared with more commodities and other exotic asset products (like indices) as well. The OI per asset classes will always add up to 100%. Currently, the OI split looks as follows: ![](https://docs.avantisfi.com/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F1312337203-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252F76vAZHPcNKY10NzuKsC4%252Fuploads%252FF41fU4ODQH1iCJPmF4C2%252FScreen%2520Shot%25202023-09-29%2520at%25201.06.05%2520PM.png%3Falt%3Dmedia%26token%3D38f4526c-4e87-4a98-86c0-e4c24997941d&width=768&dpr=3&quality=100&sign=514974b7&sv=2) Maximum OI going to each asset class 1. Finally, we keep variable OI limits on pairs within each asset class. This is both a risk management and accessibility measure, as we don't want all available OI to be captured by only one pair. We will continuously monitor the LP and trader experience to fine-tune these parameters, and ensure both sets of users have the best possible experience. The per pair OI caps in each asset class need not add up to 100%. **Other Limitations** There are also two other limitations that are in place to ensure that TVL can scale for traders, while protecting liquidity providers * Maximum Profit (%): In the beginning, we will limit trader PnL to +2,500%, meaning a trader can make at most 15x profits on their collateral (for any single position). This is variable based on each asset. * Max Trades Per Pair: Set at 20 (across market and limit orders), to prevent bad actors from DDOS'ing the executor bots (and allowing organic limit orders to go through) * Per Wallet OI Cap: In order to ensure that OI is spread evenly across traders and asset classes, we have the following OI caps on individual wallets (assessed at the time of opening a new trade) Asset Class Individual Wallet OI Cap (% of Asset Class OI) Crypto 15% Forex 15% Metals 15% **Minimum Trade Duration** * After some research with contributors at Pyth Network, we've implemented an important UX change pertaining to the closing time of trades. This duration depends on your trade size (position size) and the type of asset you trade, and mostly affects scalpers (short term swing traders). * On crypto blue chips (ETH, BTC, SOL), Memes (DOGE, SHIB, PEPE, BONK, WIF), Forex and RWA pairs, there's no such limitations. * On certain altcoins / RWA pairs, there is a minimum trade duration of 3 or 10 minutes, depending on duration. Higher trade sizes can have a minimum duration before which your trade cannot be closed. The minimum duration is 3 min. But why? * Avantis uses oracles for pricing, and a very important element here is that while Avantis trades do not have an impact on market prices, highly professional (and unethical) actors can manipulate orderbooks (and hence the Pyth price). Hence, this change is necessary to deter such traders!

To create a referral link, simply click on "create referral link". Your referral code (name, number, or a combination) is linked to your wallet address. So make sure you choose your ideal referral code before confirming its creation. ![](https://docs.avantisfi.com/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F1312337203-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252F76vAZHPcNKY10NzuKsC4%252Fuploads%252F2Mh917WZedzpunTtSi5k%252FScreen%2520Shot%25202023-11-14%2520at%252010.06.21%2520PM.png%3Falt%3Dmedia%26token%3D34b60dad-d5f8-4204-8565-f5a82c3d2e22&width=768&dpr=3&quality=100&sign=2d6fc2c5&sv=2) Once your referral link is created, you can see your total earnings as well as claimable earnings. You can also view your current referral tier. In the beginning, every referrer is at Tier 1, and is eligible for 5% rebates on their referred traders' trading fees. In the example below, you can see that the referrer has earned 2.26 USDC (5% of 45.24 USDC, which is the total trading fees generated by their referred traders). ![](https://docs.avantisfi.com/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F1312337203-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252F76vAZHPcNKY10NzuKsC4%252Fuploads%252FotUWQGJAhFGioRIVpkiO%252FScreen%2520Shot%25202023-11-14%2520at%252010.04.29%2520PM.png%3Falt%3Dmedia%26token%3Da2d8cdff-1534-402f-b1ff-2a2e36627951&width=768&dpr=3&quality=100&sign=21456030&sv=2) ### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/rewards/referrals#traders-fee-discounts) **Traders: Fee Discounts** Traders are incentivized to use the highest tier referral link they can find.

Tiers can be increased by completing two main quests: 1) increasing the number of active traders referred, and 2) increasing total fees generated by your referred traders. Avantis will use the community's feedback to continuously monitor tier parameters, and will upgrade a referrer's tier once they've completed their relevant quests (provided that the quests were completed in an anti-sybil manner). Currently, we have three tiers: Tier \# of Traders Total Trading Fees Rebates / Discount 1 <5 active traders referred <$2.5K in total referred fees 5% fee rebate / 5% fee discount 2 <25 active traders referred $2.5K-$50K in total referred fees 10% fee rebate / 10% fee discount 3 \>50 active traders referred \>$50K in total referred fees 15% fee rebate / 15% fee discount [PreviousPeriodic Revenue Distributionchevron-left](https://docs.avantisfi.com/rewards/periodic-revenue-distribution) [NextLoss Rebateschevron-right](https://docs.avantisfi.com/rewards/loss-rebates) Last updated 1 year ago * [Referrers: Earn USDC Rebates](https://docs.avantisfi.com/rewards/referrals#referrers-earn-usdc-rebates) * [Traders: Fee Discounts](https://docs.avantisfi.com/rewards/referrals#traders-fee-discounts) * [Referral Tiers](https://docs.avantisfi.com/rewards/referrals#referral-tiers) --- # Revenue Distribution | Avantis There are two major sources of revenues in Avantis: 1. Trading fees: Dynamic open fees, close fees and margin-fees, as explained in detail in the [fees](https://docs.avantisfi.com/trading/trading-fees-fixed-fee-perpetuals) section 2. Vault Deposit / Withdraw fees: LPs may be charged a deposit or withdraw fee, which varies based on the protocol health and an LP's lock duration. These are explained in detail in the [risk management](https://docs.avantisfi.com/liquidity-providers/risk-management) section ### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/rewards/revenue-distribution#liquidity-providers-100) Liquidity Providers: 100% LPs represent the supply side of the protocol, and are hence compensated for the work they put in as market makers. LPs currently receive 100% of open , close, win and margin fees ! LPs also take counter-trading risk against traders. ### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/rewards/revenue-distribution#protocol-treasury-0) Protocol Treasury: 0% A portion of the protocol treasury will go towards everything related to protocol liquidity. This includes protocol owned liquidity for the USDC vault, sponsoring trading competitions and rewards campaigns (see [this examplearrow-up-right](https://x.com/avantisfinance/status/1792614141536120970) ), giving trader rebates, sponsoring gas, and insuring LPs in case of unforeseen protocol losses. Currently the protocol only receives liquidation fees, and LPs receive 100% of fees. This is to encourage the growth of sticky TVL, which in-turn generates more open interest and liquidity, attracting more traders. We hope to 10x Avantis' traction via this flywheel in the coming months.

There, you’ll find total XP, any active boosts, and trading and liquidity XP rank. 1. **How long will Season 2 last?** Avantis XP Season 2 will end sometime in Q3 2025 based on completion of certain product milestones. S2 will conclude with a points conversion event and the launch of the **Avantis Foundation**, a DAO that will guide the **decentralized future** of our community. 1. **How long does it take for XP to reflect on the dashboard?** Almost immediately (for liquidity XP), and within 15 mins of closing trades (for trading XP). 1. **Why are trading and liquidity XP different?** Because we believe in fairly rewarding supply and demand side activity! Trading and liquidity XP are not fungible - they are grouped into separate categories so we can ensure that we are appropriately rewarding all of your onchain actions on Avantis. 1. **Why should I care about Avantis XP?** By joining now - you have an early opportunity to shape the future of Avantis. We are committed to building Avantis to its full potential over the coming months, and your participation is crucial in this journey and will be recognized.

Much like Season 1, if the season itself ends before the duration of your lock, you will be granted a portion of your pending locked bonus for liquidity XP. Any future pending locked bonus will be granted in subsequent seasons.

Avantis XP measures and track onchain activity, loyalty and accrue to a user in real time. These are non-tradeable and non-transferable, and simply represent a user's activity on the Avantis protocol. There are two types of Avantis experience points - liquidity and trading points. At a high level: 1. **Liquidity XP**: Long term LPs stack the most liquidity points (i.e depositing for the long-term, locking, and completing your lock provides bonuses). E.g, one dollar invested as an LP gives 1 point a day. 1. Referrals: Get 10% of any referred LPs XP. circle-info Note - Starting S3 we've phased out XP boosts on locking deposits. Boosts are now directly linked to $AVNT staked in Avantis Security Module. Learn more [here](https://docs.avantisfi.com/rewards/avantis-xp/season-3/xp-boosts-season-3) . 1. **Trading XP (fixed-fee perpetuals)**: * Volume: All trades accrues volume XP. Volume XP accrues based on a traders' volumes. Every dollar traded gets at-most 1 XP. Longer duration trades get more XP. * Referrals: Get 10% of a referred traders' volume XP. * Liquidations Bonus: Liquidations are rough, and we want to ensure traders still feel supported after a liquidation. All platform liquidations are eligible for trading XP ! 2. **Trading XP (zero-fee perpetuals)**: * Volume: Unlike fixed-fee perpetuals, zero-fee perpetuals only charge traders a fraction of their profits. Hence, XP is based completely on your $ fees paid. Hence, profitable trades get the most XP, although losing trades also get some XP. * Referrals: Get 10% of a referred traders' volume XP. * Liquidations Bonus: Liquidations are rough, and we want to ensure traders still feel supported after a liquidation. All platform liquidations are eligible for trading XP! circle-info Note - Trading XP and Liquidity XP are not fungible (i.e - they're not the same!). > **Legal disclaimer: Avantis experience points have no monetary value, and do not represent a claim on the protocol's revenues or any token offering / equity.

Here's what this integration enables for our liquidity providers and traders: 1. **Multi-collateral trading** Borrow USDC on Base using your existing crypto portfolio (BTC, ETH and alts) to simply continue doing what you do best: perps trading! Pay back seamlessly in one bundled transaction after your trade is complete. Increased USDC gives traders access to increased leverage and exposure, without ever selling your crypto assets. 1. **Boosted Avantis XP + yields** Avantis' vault deposits sometimes offer a higher APY (for locked deposits) than Morpho's borrowing APY. Depending on lock duration / yields, you can earn net positive yields (+ boosted Avantis XP), without ever selling your Bitcoin or ETH 🤯. 1. **Supported Markets** Avantis has integrated several markets that support USDC loans on Base. This includes: \- cbETH (yield bearing) \- wstETH (yield bearing) \- cbBTC \- ETH However, we'll launch several new markets soon, giving our users the ability to leverage their entire crypto portfolio on Base to borrow USDC and maximize their potential.

Navigate to avantisfi.com/borrow to get started. Here, you'll see two things 1. Your current USDC loans 2. A list of all available assets you can use as collateral, to borrow USDC. #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/morpho-integration/getting-started#borrowing-usdc) Borrowing USDC Borowing USDC is very simple. You simply click on the borrow button for the collateral type you want to borrow from, choose the collateral you want to deposit, the amount of USDC you want to borrow. Then, our integration will create one single transaction to deposit the collateral and borrow the required USDC. You should then see this loan under your active loans. **Managing your loan** There are four things you can do to manage your current loan: 1. Borrow USDC: You can always borrow more USDC from your existing collateral. Just make sure to keep an eye out on your current and liquidation "LTV" (loan to value ratio). This is important to ensure you do not get liquidated. 2. Repay USDC: Simply paying back your debt (or a portion of it) to reduce interest expense! 3. Withdraw collateral: Borrowers withdraw collateral when they are confident that they can pay back their debt (USDC), without getting liquidated. This is either because they have acquired the necessary USDC for repayment, or the value of their collateral is rising. Please exercise caution and carefully read about "LTV" before withdrawing collateral. 4. Close loan: Closing is a bundled transaction that entirely repays all USDC, and withdraws all collateral, net of interest expense. Use this option to seamlessly repay your entire loan in one go.

[PreviousVaultschevron-left](https://docs.avantisfi.com/tutorials/vaults) [NextReferralschevron-right](https://docs.avantisfi.com/tutorials/referrals) Last updated 1 year ago --- # Risk Management | Avantis **Vault Buffer Ratio - Maintaining Sustainability** As we've mentioned in the [Avantis LP Vault](https://docs.avantisfi.com/liquidity-providers/avantis-lp-vault-avusdc) section, investing in the vault is not risk free. The LPs are essentially taking a bet that even if traders make profits, the trading fees should at least protect the LPs principal. Note: the profit / loss share of Avantis LP vault will be programmable via governance in the future, and we will monitor data post initial launch to observe LP and trader behavior. **Vault buffer ratio & Dynamic Withdraw Fees** In volatile market conditions, there are times where LPs do not have enough of a buffer to sustain any potential impacts from a traders' open PnL. The vault buffer ratio tracks how much buffer the vaults have to sustain any negative impacts from a traders PnL. Vault buffer ratio of 100% indicates that LPs currently have zero buffer against open PnL (i.e a traders' profits that haven't been realized). Similarly, vault buffer of 110% indicates that a trader can draw down 10% of the vault's value, before an existing LP starts losing their principal (note - this is an oversimplification, and does not apply to all LPs equally as LPs enter and leave the protocol at different times) To avoid panic and maintain a healthy experience for traders, a vault buffer fee is taken to manage risk for LPs and traders, and preventing over utilization, which can be risky for LPs. In the long run, this maintains healthy liquidity, which brings confidence for traders, and ultimately generates more fees with less risk for LPs. Vault Buffer Ratio\=Current  TVL + Vault  Buffer−Open  PnL Current  TVLVault\\ Buffer \\ Ratio = \\frac{Current\\ \\ TVL\\ +\\ Vault \\ \\ Buffer -Open\\ \\ PnL \\ }{Current\\ \\ TVL}Vault Buffer Ratio\=Current  TVLCurrent  TVL + Vault  Buffer−Open  PnL ​ Where: A. Open PnL = The net Profit / loss from open trades on any given day. These are trades that have not been closed, hence Open PNL is not yet realized. B. Current TVL = The TVL in the vaults at the time of calculating the ratio C. Vault Buffer = The difference between the Vault manager (the contract that holds all open collateral and undistributed PnL) - Open Collateral in the system (collateral sitting in currently open trades). Vault buffer shows how much excess capital is sitting in the LP pools to absorb PnL shocks during market volatility. circle-info Note: Vault buffer ratio is a daily snapshot, and fees are only charged on _withdrawal_ when buffer ratio is low. Other times, it is completely free to withdraw. The fees are also _tiered_ based on the buffer ratio of the vault as shown below Vault Buffer Ratio Fee <0.90 2.50% \[0.90, 0.95)\ \ 1.50%\ \ \[0.95, 1.00)\ \ 0.50%\ \ \[1.00, 1.05)\ \ 0.25%\ \ \[1.05, 1.10)\ \ 0.10%\ \ \>= 1.10\ \ 0.00%\ \ [PreviousAvantis LP Vault (avUSDC)chevron-left](https://docs.avantisfi.com/liquidity-providers/avantis-lp-vault-avusdc)\ [NextMulti-Collateral USDC Borrowingchevron-right](https://docs.avantisfi.com/morpho-integration/multi-collateral-usdc-borrowing)\ \ Last updated 6 months ago --- # XP Boosts - Season 2 | Avantis XP Boosts are multipliers on your XP earn rate, and can be temporary or permanent depending on the type of boost.

There, you’ll find total XP, any active boosts, and trading and liquidity rank. 1. **Do I get rewarded for using Avantis early?** Yes! All onchain actions on Avantis have been accruing XP since our mainnet start date (1/31/24). You can view how much total XP you have by navigating to your points dashboard. 1. **How long does it take for XP to reflect on the dashboard?** Trading points and boosts are calculated at the time of opening and closing of trades. LP points are awarded once per day. 1. **What is the maximum amount of boosts I can get?** Trading boosts can be stacked as long as you fulfill the requirements for each badge. LPers who hold early LP boosts (such as Early LP, Chief Warden, etc) can only stack up to two boosts. Testnet roles (Testnet OG, Testnet Champion, etc) may only be stacked once. Note that boosts are cumulative, ie if you hold (2) 2x boost badges, you’ll receive a total 4x boost. 1. **Why are trading and liquidity XP different?** Because we believe in fairly and equally rewarding supply and demand side activity! Trading and liquidity XP are not fungible - they are grouped into separate categories so we can ensure that we are appropriately rewarding all of your onchain actions on Avantis. 1. **How long can we expect Season 1 of Avantis XP to last?** Season 1 will end on December 11th, 2024. Our primary goal with XP in general to ensure a smooth and fair transition into the next phase of Avantis (The Avantis Foundation). This requires carefully balancing the protocol's growth, roadmap and it's decentralization journey. 1. **Why should I care about Avantis XP?** By joining now - you have an early opportunity to shape the future of Avantis. We are committed to building Avantis to its full potential over the coming months, and your participation is crucial in this journey and will be recognized. 1. **Do I receive Avantis XP for depositing via Superform?** Yes, but please note the following: You cannot lock capital for boosts on Superform, and you will not see the XP on your dashboard (Superform will distribute it back to you).

Demystify: We make complex concepts simple without watering them down. Our role is to help users understand markets, mechanics, and opportunities—especially those they didn’t know existed. Avantis opens doors, not gates. Empower: We give traders the tools and knowledge they need to make sharp, independent decisions. We don’t talk down or tell people what to do. We offer clarity, context, and choice—backed by product, not promises. Respect: We know our users are savvy, curious, and capable. Our tone is confident, but never condescending. We respect people’s time, intelligence, and risk appetite. Engage: We’re building something new, and that means staying in conversation. We listen, we respond, and we improve. Our users shape the experience alongside us. We value feedback and reward participation. Lead: Avantis isn’t here to follow trends. We’re defining the next frontier in onchain trading. That means our voice should be original, consistent, and intentional—never reactive, gimmicky, or echoing the crowd. Tip for the writer – After writing anything for Avantis, reread it through the lens of these goals. Does it clarify? Does it respect the reader? Does it drive a sense of possibility? If not, rewrite it. **BRAND TONE AND VOICE REVIEW** 1. When people interact with our content, products, and services, we want them to feel empowered, curious, and in control. 2. When we talk to our ideal audience, our tone of voice is sharp, respectful, and forward-thinking. 3. We avoid tones that are loud, condescending, or overhyped. 4. When people see something from our brand, they see it as useful, intelligent, and slightly contrarian. 5. If Avantis were a person, they would be described as strategic, composed, and quietly bold.

Over-sell or hype “0% fees” or “no fees ever” without context or proof. Use consistent language and tone across all channels. Drastically shift tone to mimic meme culture or clickbait trends. Speak to users as peers - curious, capable, and responsible. Talk down to users or assume they know nothing. Show how Avantis helps traders express macro and micro views. Frame Avantis as the “only” path to financial success. Highlight trading strategies and tools, not just the token price. Obsess over short-term performance or speculation. Invite community insight and spotlight strong contributions. Ignore or erase constructive feedback. Use analogies and examples to make new markets and features accessible. Assume users understand traditional finance jargon or mechanics. Emphasize product utility and transparency. Create FOMO with vague promises. Be inclusive in your language and appeal, we’re playing our part in bringing traders onchain. Write only for crypto natives or a narrow audience segment. **GUIDING PHILOSOPHY** We believe the next wave of traders will be onchain, global, and cross-asset.

This isn’t just a simplification. It’s a step toward building the most composable, capital-efficient USDC vault in DeFi. With the unified vault, all deposits now flow into one pool, represented by the ERC-4626 token **avUSDC**. There’s no need for LPs to take any action — existing deposits and positions will auto-migrate. Currently, **100% of trading fees (excluding liquidation fees)** will flow directly to avUSDC holders. ![](https://docs.avantisfi.com/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F1312337203-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252F76vAZHPcNKY10NzuKsC4%252Fuploads%252F5b8AlYhgjff04t9rPQ4B%252FScreenshot%25202025-10-09%2520at%25203.31.25%25E2%2580%25AFPM.png%3Falt%3Dmedia%26token%3D65005df3-6309-491d-bcf9-60f53a452044&width=768&dpr=3&quality=100&sign=c18aab3d&sv=2) ### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/liquidity-providers/avantis-lp-vault-avusdc#how-avusdc-works) How avUSDC Works ![](https://docs.avantisfi.com/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F1312337203-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252F76vAZHPcNKY10NzuKsC4%252Fuploads%252F4CYRkZ9XfrLNnXv3dZFn%252Fimage.png%3Falt%3Dmedia%26token%3Dbbc561da-02a9-42a8-8c8e-443b85c85dd0&width=768&dpr=3&quality=100&sign=287fa25e&sv=2) The avUSDC vault is the counterparty to all trades on Avantis. When traders lose, those losses accrue into a protocol buffer — used to settle future payouts. When traders win, their profits are paid out from the buffer before dipping into the vault. LPs don’t earn from trader losses; instead, they earn from **real trading fees** generated by platform activity, while market-makers keep the vault delta neutral. This keeps yield steady organic — a reflection of onchain market volume, not speculation. Risk is managed via the vault buffer, ensuring that LP capital remains protected even during periods of high market volatility. It’s the same philosophy of safety as before, now streamlined into a single structure. ![](https://docs.avantisfi.com/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F1312337203-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252F76vAZHPcNKY10NzuKsC4%252Fuploads%252FrsXELlkuFpS5Ew4zSDZX%252Fimage.png%3Falt%3Dmedia%26token%3D63dde8a3-09db-4a0f-b5bd-356612e7ae86&width=768&dpr=3&quality=100&sign=16c6bc6d&sv=2) * * * ### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/liquidity-providers/avantis-lp-vault-avusdc#unleashing-composability) Unleashing Composability The shift to avUSDC unlocks a new dimension of possibility. ![](https://docs.avantisfi.com/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F1312337203-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252F76vAZHPcNKY10NzuKsC4%252Fuploads%252F9lqIsiF1U9Pc5qIOdMwR%252Fimage.png%3Falt%3Dmedia%26token%3D6c24e36f-6fe9-4c9b-b048-39da2dc22ede&width=768&dpr=3&quality=100&sign=407256b2&sv=2) #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/liquidity-providers/avantis-lp-vault-avusdc#id-1.-composability) **1\. Composability** A single, standardized vault token means avUSDC can integrate seamlessly across DeFi. Imagine splitting it on Pendle into a principal and yield token — enabling speculation, hedging, and structured yield strategies built directly on top of Avantis liquidity. #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/liquidity-providers/avantis-lp-vault-avusdc#id-2.-leverage) **2\. Leverage** avUSDC will also be usable as **collateral natively** within Avantis. This opens up looping strategies — where users deposit USDC, mint avUSDC, and re-deploy it with leverage. The result: amplified yield potential, without leaving the Avantis ecosystem. #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/liquidity-providers/avantis-lp-vault-avusdc#id-3.-yield-optionality) **3\. Yield Optionality** In the future, idle capital within the vault can opt into **external yield sources** like Maple USD or ENA sUSD — giving LPs exposure to uncorrelated yield streams beyond trading activity. avUSDC becomes not just a vault token, but a **DeFi yield primitive** — composable, collateralized, and extendable. * * * ### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/liquidity-providers/avantis-lp-vault-avusdc#why-it-matters) Why It Matters DeFi is built to be open, composable and rewarding! With avUSDC, liquidity providers no longer have to choose between yield and flexibility. Their deposits can power Avantis, earn trading fees, and still participate in broader DeFi opportunities. It’s a fundamental rethinking of what it means to LP — from a static, siloed position to a **dynamic, composable yield engine.** * * * ### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/liquidity-providers/avantis-lp-vault-avusdc#the-vision-ahead) The Vision Ahead avUSDC is more than a vault migration. It’s the foundation for everything that comes next for Avantis LPs — a unified liquidity layer that connects onchain markets, yield strategies, and collateralized leverage into one cohesive system. As we continue building, avUSDC will evolve into the backbone of Avantis’ ecosystem — the bridge between perpetual trading and the wider DeFi landscape. Liquidity shouldn’t be locked. It should move, compound, and grow. With avUSDC, that future is here. **The Road to avUSDC begins now.** [PreviousXP FAQ - Season 1chevron-left](https://docs.avantisfi.com/rewards/avantis-xp/season-1-ended/xp-faq-season-1) [NextRisk Managementchevron-right](https://docs.avantisfi.com/liquidity-providers/risk-management) Last updated 6 months ago * [From Two Vaults to One](https://docs.avantisfi.com/liquidity-providers/avantis-lp-vault-avusdc#from-two-vaults-to-one) * [How avUSDC Works](https://docs.avantisfi.com/liquidity-providers/avantis-lp-vault-avusdc#how-avusdc-works) * [Unleashing Composability](https://docs.avantisfi.com/liquidity-providers/avantis-lp-vault-avusdc#unleashing-composability) * [Why It Matters](https://docs.avantisfi.com/liquidity-providers/avantis-lp-vault-avusdc#why-it-matters) * [The Vision Ahead](https://docs.avantisfi.com/liquidity-providers/avantis-lp-vault-avusdc#the-vision-ahead) --- # Audits | Avantis ### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/security/audits#contracts) Contracts Our contracts are open source and can be found here: [https://github.com/Avantis-Labsarrow-up-right](https://github.com/Avantis-Labs) ### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/security/audits#protocol-smart-contract-security) Protocol (Smart contract) security Our live contracts have gone through two security audits with [**Zellic**arrow-up-right](https://www.zellic.io/) as well [**Zokyo**arrow-up-right](https://www.zokyo.io/) , who collectively have covered protocols such as Solana, Pyth, Sushiswap, etc. We're adding our security audit reports from both auditors, as well as our partnership announcements here 1.

[PreviousFAQschevron-left](https://docs.avantisfi.com/support/faqs) [NextRoadmap ($AVNT)chevron-right](https://docs.avantisfi.com/roadmap-usdavnt) Last updated 28 days ago --- # FAQs | Avantis #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/support/faqs#id-1.-what-are-perpetuals) **1\. What are Perpetuals?** Perpetual contracts, also known as "perpetuals" or "perps" are a type of derivative contract that allow traders to speculate on the price of an underlying asset, such as a cryptocurrency, without actually owning the asset. These contracts are called "perpetual" because they do not have an expiration date and can be held indefinitely. #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/support/faqs#id-2.-what-is-base) **2\. What is Base?** Base is an Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) network offering a secure, low-cost, developer-friendly way for anyone, anywhere, to build decentralized apps or “dapps” onchain. Base is being developed by Coinbase, one of the most trusted full-stack exchanges in the cryptocurrency / blockchain sector. Avantis is built on Base, and the Base Ecosystem Fund is an investor in Avantis Labs, the parent entity of the Avantis protocol. #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/support/faqs#id-3.-what-is-usdc) **3\. What is USDC?** USDC is a digital stablecoin created by Circle, and its value is pegged 1:1 to the US dollar. It is used as collateral for trades on Avantis, as well as for LPs looking to invest in our market-making vaults. #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/support/faqs#id-4.-what-is-the-best-way-to-get-started-using-avantis) **4\. What is the best way to get started using Avantis ?** Our mainnet alpha is live at [https://www.avantisfi.com/tradearrow-up-right](https://www.avantisfi.com/trade) . You'll need an EVM-compatible wallet as well as USDC and ETH on Base. For more in-depth information on how to get started, check out our [Tutorialsarrow-up-right](https://docs.avantisfi.com/tutorials/onboarding) . #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/support/faqs#id-5.-why-is-the-coin-asset-i-want-to-trade-not-listed) **5\. Why is the coin/asset I want to trade not listed?** Coins and assets are listed when we can provide a reliable trading experience for them. This is determined based on the availability of a sufficient number of price sources as well as the trading volume and liquidity of the pair from the price sources. #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/support/faqs#id-6.-where-does-the-collateral-go-when-i-close-for-a-profit-loss) **6\. Where does the collateral go when I close for a profit / loss?** If you close in profit you will **always** be paid out. You are paid out from the USDC vault which bears the risk as the counter-party to traders. If the trade is closed at a loss, you are paid out the remaining portion of your collateral from the contract and the portion which is your loss goes to the vault (unless you have been liquidated - in which case all collateral goes to the vault). The portion of the collateral which was your loss remains in the USDC vault to be used to pay out other traders or be used in the protocol's insurance fund. #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/support/faqs#id-7.-what-do-tp-sl-liq-mean) **7\. What do TP/SL/LIQ mean ?** TP stands for take-profit, or the ability to close out your trade position at a certain profit % (or at a certain price). SL stands for stop-loss, which is the opposite of take profit (i.e., preventing any further downside from your trade position), and LIQ stands for liquidation price. **8\. What are market and limit orders ?** a. Market orders are orders that are executed at market price ( + / - any price difference between opening and execution, i.e "price impact"). b. Limit orders execute a long position when the underlying asset reaches a lower price than the current price, and a short position when the underlying asset reaches a higher price than the current price. #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/support/faqs#id-9.-can-i-go-into-debt) 9\. **Can I go into debt?** **No, you cannot go into debt**. You can only lose the collateral you stake. Naturally, if your position has reached a point where it must be liquidated (-90%) your loss will be all of your collateral. Otherwise, your gain or loss will be what is returned to you. **Do not put up more collateral than you could afford to lose**, and use stop losses and take profits to help manage risk better. #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/support/faqs#id-10.-can-i-use-other-stablecoins-as-collateral) **10\. Can I use other stablecoins as collateral?** You cannot. Other stables can be easily converted to USDC within our in-app exchange tab. We plan to add native support for other stablecoins in the future. #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/support/faqs#id-11.-who-has-avantis-been-audited-by) **11\. Who has Avantis been audited by ?** We have been audited by Zellic and Zokyo! Additionally, we are working together with Chaos Labs to help set our genesis trading parameters. Learn more about our security partnerships on our [Security pagearrow-up-right](https://docs.avantisfi.com/security) . #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/support/faqs#id-12.-where-else-can-i-find-help-if-i-have-a-problem-or-question) 12\. Where else can I find help if I have a problem or question? Our discord is live! Post your questions and a community member or moderator will help you in the "General" channel. Please read the chat rules. If you need 1:1 help from a team member, please open a ticket. #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/support/faqs#id-13.-why-is-an-hourly-fee-necessary) **13\. Why is an hourly fee necessary?** This allows traders to use lower leverage while still allowing adequate risk management for the protocol. Without this, the entire maximum open interest (i.e., the sum of long / short trade volumes) possible for a pair could be taken up for a long time - entirely stopping other traders from even having the option to trade on these pairs. Hence, hourly fees allow for LP protection, and equitable trading. Our hourly fee is also dynamic based on the long-short skew, which protects LPs in a skewed (long only or short only) market #### [hashtag](https://docs.avantisfi.com/support/faqs#id-14.-why-is-price-impact-necessary) **14\. Why is price impact necessary?** Price impacts are necessary to prevent oracle manipulation, and to ensure we can still offer the best possible prices across CeFi and DeFi.
