It’s clearly perp DEX season, and while $HYPE has been dominating, there is a new beast in town built on and backed by Base, and just launched their airdrop not too long ago.
This is Avantis, and we’re going to unravel everything you need to know!
What is Avantis?
Avantis is a perpetual DEX built and native to the Ethereum Layer 2, Base, which first launched in early 2024. Setting themselves apart from competitors is the ability to trade cryptocurrencies, forex, metals, commodities, indices and much more, all on-chain with up to 500x leverage, and zero fees, all with Avantis.
Base is one of the most thriving networks in Web3, and Avantis has become the go-to DEX on the network for perps trading with its sleek, easy-to-use user interface, tools, perks, expansive array of assets to trade, overall speed, costs and efficiency.
Why Avantis?
With over 43K active traders, 2.36M trades, and over 24.2B in volume, Avantis is one of the leading perp DEXs in Web3, especially when it comes to RWAs, the multi-trillion dollar industry. As global Web3 adoption kicks in and institutions begin to trade real-world assets on-chain, Avantis positions itself as one of the most desired destinations.
The Avantis exchange has much to offer for its users, including:
- Competitive Leverage – Trade with up to 500x leverage
- Positive Slippage – Traders get positive slippage when they help balance open interest
- Loss protection – Traders can claim up to 20% rebates on losses
- Unique LPs – Earn yield from Avantis-created liquidity pools (LPs)

Avantis Token ($AVNT) & Airdrop
After building a solid and loyal community, in September 2025, Avantis conducted a huge airdrop to its most loyal users who regularly traded, deposited into the Avantis Vaults (LPs), and used eligible partner protocols. From this, the $AVNT token was born, and it has swiftly surged to great heights.
When it comes to utilities, $AVNT primarily serves as the governance token, but will also power protocol incentives, trader rewards and community-driven development. After the first very successful airdrop, the second $AVNT airdrop may be one that you won’t want to miss if you missed the first.
So, if you need yourself in need of a guide, stay tuned for a season 3 Avantis airdrop tutorial on the AltCryptoTalk YouTube channel.
Conclusion
At the time of writing, the $AVNT token is trading at $2.15 with a market cap of $553.39M, and just outside the top 100 cryptos by market cap. Since the TGE, $AVNT has risen by over 1,050% from its all-time low of $0.1796, and recently claimed an ATH of $2.66.
DEX tokens are surging, the bull market is near, and now we ask, is $AVNT in your portfolio or on your watchlist?
