Aevo vs Extended

Detailed side-by-side comparison of features, fees, and trading experience

Aevo

+ Unique options markets alongside perpetuals — one of the only DEX platforms offering onchain vanilla options alongside 130+ 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

− Maximum leverage of 20x is lower than competitors like Hyperliquid (40x) and GMX (50x) — not suitable for high-leverage seekers
− TVL of approximately $16M 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

+ 100+ perpetual markets including cryptocurrencies and TradFi assets (gold, oil, EUR/USD, S&P 500, Nasdaq) — rare among perp DEXes
+ Zero maker fees and just 0.025% taker fees, with maker rebates up to 0.013% based on 30-day market share
+ Up to 100x leverage on major crypto pairs including BTC and ETH, among the highest on Starknet

− Restricted in the US, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Syria — VPN usage to bypass violates the Terms of Use
− TVL (~$144M) and liquidity remain lower than leading perp DEXes like Hyperliquid, meaning less depth for large positions
− Starknet L2 has lower adoption than Ethereum L1 or Solana — fewer integrated dApps and wallets
