Aevo
PROS
- + Rare on-chain options markets alongside 144 perpetual pairs — one of the only DEXs offering vanilla options and perps under a single unified margin account
- + Competitive perpetual fees of 0.08% taker / 0.05% maker, with options at 0.05% / 0.03% and up to a 20% fee discount for AEVO stakers
- + No KYC required — non-custodial trading by connecting any EVM wallet, accessible globally except the US, Canada, and China
CONS
- − Maximum 20x leverage on perpetuals is well below competitors like GMX (100x) and Avantis (500x), limiting appeal for high-leverage traders
- − TVL of roughly $15M is far smaller than leading perpetual DEXs such as Hyperliquid, which can reduce depth on lower-volume pairs
- − The full 20% fee discount requires staking AEVO with lock-ups of up to 12 months, so casual traders pay standard rates
Extended
PROS
- + 110+ perpetual markets combining cryptocurrencies with TradFi assets (gold, oil, EUR/USD, S&P 500, Nasdaq) — rare among perp DEXes
- + Zero maker fees and just a 0.025% taker fee, 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
CONS
- − Restricted in the US, UK, Canada, Russia and sanctioned countries (Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria) — using a VPN to bypass violates the Terms of Use
- − TVL (~$137M) 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
