Harsehaj Singh is the CEO and co-founder of Avantis, an on-chain exchange for trading and market-making cryptocurrencies, forex, and commodities.

Why you should listen

Built on Coinbase’s Layer 2 chain, Base, Avantis is designed to offer traders permissionless access to crypto, forex, metals, and real-world commodities—all directly from their wallet. It's backed by serious players like Pantera Capital, Founders Fund, and Galaxy Digital. Unlike typical decentralized exchanges that just handle crypto, Avantis allows you to trade a wide array of assets with leverage—up to 100x on forex and commodities, and 50x on crypto—making it an ambitious bridge between traditional finance and DeFi.

The trading experience itself is designed to be more user-friendly and risk-aware. Avantis has baked in features like loss rebates, which can return up to 20% of a trader's losses under specific conditions, and incentives for positive slippage that make getting in and out of trades potentially smoother and more profitable. For liquidity providers, the platform offers USDC vaults with junior and senior tranches, giving LPs control over their risk exposure and rewards. LPs can also time-lock their deposits to earn additional yield and XP rewards. It’s a system that balances the need for deep liquidity with the safety of the capital involved, which is crucial in high-leverage environments.

What makes Avantis stand out is its focus on engagement through gamified incentives. Their XP rewards program gives users points for trading, providing liquidity, and referring others. These XP points can lead to future perks, governance rights, and seasonal leaderboard rewards, making it feel more like participating in a game or social network than using a traditional exchange. Between the wide range of tradable markets, its advanced risk tooling, and this immersive rewards system, Avantis is building something that feels like the future of trading—accessible, global, and defi-native.
