Avantis
PROS
- + Zero-Fee Perpetuals: no opening, closing, or borrowing fees on losing trades — only a 2.5-10% profit share on winning positions
- + Fixed-fee perps cost just 6 bps (0.06%) opening and closing on BTC/ETH/SOL, and 8 bps (0.08%) on altcoins
- + 90+ markets from one account: 60+ crypto pairs plus 18+ forex pairs, commodities (gold, silver, WTI, Brent), indices (SPY, QQQ) and MAG7 equities
CONS
- − Single-chain deployment on Base only — traders on other networks must bridge assets in
- − USDC is the only accepted collateral, so holders of other stablecoins must convert first
- − Oracle- and keeper-based execution means dependency on Chainlink feed reliability during extreme volatility
GRVT
PROS
- + Negative maker fees across all nine tiers, from -0.0001% at Level 1 to -0.003% at Level 9 — makers earn rebates instead of paying to provide liquidity
- + Self-custodial with optional KYC — users can sign up with only an email and trade without identity verification while keeping full control of funds
- + Around 168 perpetual markets spanning crypto and real-world assets, including gold (XAU), oil (WTI), and equities like Tesla, with up to 50x leverage on BTC
CONS
- − Only USDT and USDC accepted as collateral — no BTC, ETH, or multi-collateral margin support
- − Spot and options markets are not yet live — the platform is perpetuals-only, and even gold and stock exposure is traded via perps
- − KYC is still required to claim the upcoming $GRVT airdrop tokens at TGE and to lift the 50,000 USDT/day bridge withdrawal limit
