Welcome to the Avantis Trader SDK, a powerful tool designed to interact with the Avantis decentralized exchange (DEX) and leverage its advanced features for trading and market-making in cryptocurrencies, forex, and commodities.
Avantis is at the forefront of decentralized leveraged trading platforms, offering users the ability to take long or short positions in synthetic crypto, forex, and commodities using perpetuals—a financial instrument that provides leverage without an expiration date. With synthetic leverage and a USDC stablecoin liquidity pool, Avantis achieves high capital efficiency, enabling a diverse selection of tradable assets and leverage up to 100x.
The platform also introduces fine-grained risk management for liquidity providers (LPs) through time and risk parameters. This innovation allows any LP to become a sophisticated market maker for a wide range of derivatives, starting with perpetuals.
