Avant Overview

Avant is an evolutionary DeFi protocol aimed at creating sustainable, higher risk-adjusted yield through the deployment of advanced market-neutral strategies.

The Avant Protocol introduces a family of tokens built around foundational crypto assets. These tokens are organized into three distinct categories:

  • avAssets (Base Tokens): The entry point to the ecosystem. These are tokens backed 1:1 by an underlying asset (e.g., avUSD is backed by USDC).

  • savAssets (Staked Tokens): The primary yield-earning tokens. By staking an avAsset, you receive an savAsset, which represents the safer, Senior Tranche position.

  • avAssetX (Boosted Tokens): The boosted-yield tokens. By boosting an avAsset, you receive an avAssetX token, which represents the higher-risk, higher-reward Junior Tranche position.

The table below shows the currently available tokens for each underlying asset.
