Avant is a DeFi platform that launched to the public in January 2025 with the mission to create a more inclusive financial system through DeFi-powered stable-value and bitcoin-backed tokens. The platform introduces:
avUSD: A stable-value token (backed by USDC).
savUSD: Its staked, yield-bearing counterpart.
avBTC: A bitcoin-backed token (pegged to BTC value).
savBTC: Its staked, yield-bearing version for enhanced returns.
Avant's mission is to provide DeFi-backed stable-value and bitcoin-pegged tokens that align with the core principles of decentralization: being accessible 24/7, open to everyone, and offering equal financial opportunities regardless of investment size. Avant seeks to establish itself as a leading DeFi protocol by innovating in yield generation and value storage.
Avant addresses several key problems in the current financial landscape:
Lack of DeFi-Powered Stable/Bitcoin-Backed Tokens: Provides decentralized, accessible tokens (avUSD & avBTC) that offer equal financial opportunities.
Enhanced Yield Potential: Offers users access to high-performing, delta-neutral strategies (for stablecoins & BTC) typically reserved for professional traders, without compromising security.
Complexity of Manual Strategies: Simplifies access to advanced financial strategies that require extensive expertise and resources.
Better Financial Tools for Users: Delivers improved options for stable-denominated savings (savUSD) and bitcoin-based yield (savBTC), maximizing capital efficiency for lending and borrowing.
Avant stands out in the DeFi space due to its:
Expertly Managed Strategies: Partners with elite traders to provide high, consistent returns.
Security-First Approach: Implements best-in-class security measures, including real-time contract monitoring and secure custody solutions.
Sound Diversification Strategy: Spreads funds across multiple protocols and chains to reduce risk exposure.
