Aevo
PROS
- + Unique options markets alongside perpetuals — one of the only DEX platforms offering onchain vanilla options alongside 148+ perpetual pairs
- + Competitive perpetuals fees at 0.08% taker / 0.05% maker, with maker rebates on options as low as 0.03%
- + No KYC required — fully non-custodial trading by connecting any EVM wallet, accessible globally except US, Canada, and China
CONS
- − Maximum leverage of 20x is lower than competitors like Hyperliquid (40x) and GMX (50x) — not suitable for high-leverage seekers
- − TVL of approximately $22M is significantly lower than leading perpetuals DEXs (Hyperliquid: $4.8B, GMX: $500M+) — may limit depth and liquidity
- − Only USDC accepted as primary collateral — no multi-collateral support like some competing platforms
Avantis
PROS
- + Zero-Fee Perpetuals: pay no opening, closing, or borrowing fees on losing trades — only profit-share (as low as 2.5%) on wins
- + Maker fee of just 1 bps (0.01%) — among the cheapest in perp DEX space
- + Trade 80+ markets including crypto, forex, commodities, and indices from a single platform
CONS
- − Single-chain deployment on Base only — traders on other networks must bridge assets
- − Oracle-based execution means dependency on Chainlink feed reliability during extreme volatility
- − Only USDC accepted as collateral — must convert other stables first
