Veranta Team
Veranta was built around a simple idea: access to global markets should not depend on geography, legacy market structure or which venue a trader happens to use. Since mainnet launched in February 2024, that idea has grown into a cross-asset trading ecosystem spanning crypto and real-world assets.
At the time of the original token announcement, the protocol had processed more than $18 billion in cumulative volume across over 2 million trades, served more than 38,500 traders, and supported 80+ markets. More than $23 million in TVL came from 25,000+ liquidity providers, while annualized protocol fees had reached $15 million, with the majority flowing back to the community.
The next step is $AVNT.
$AVNT is the utility and governance token for Veranta. It is designed to connect protocol usage with security, incentives and governance so the people who trade, provide liquidity, build and contribute can participate more directly in the network they help grow.
$AVNT has three core roles across the Veranta ecosystem.
Holders can stake $AVNT in the protocol’s Security Module. Staked tokens provide an additional backstop for liquidity providers during extreme market conditions. In return, stakers can earn $AVNT rewards, receive XP boosts and access trading fee discounts of up to 50% on eligible products.
The Security Module was double-audited ahead of launch and staking was designed to be available from day one of the token launch.
More than half of the fixed token supply is reserved for the community. That includes traders, liquidity providers, referrers, contributors and builders who create products and experiences on top of Veranta.
The goal is to make ecosystem growth participatory. Activity that improves liquidity, expands distribution, brings in traders or contributes useful infrastructure can be recognized through the token economy rather than sitting outside it.
$AVNT also creates a path toward progressive decentralization. Token holders can participate in governance around areas such as fee economics, asset listings, protocol expansion, buyback proposals and other major product or ecosystem decisions as governance rolls out.
The total supply of $AVNT is fixed at 1,000,000,000 tokens. The allocation was built around long-term community participation, with 50.1% of supply reserved for users, contributors and ecosystem growth.
The remaining allocation supports the teams and partners responsible for building and scaling the protocol:
Team and investor allocations follow long-term vesting schedules, including a 12-month cliff followed by 30 months of vesting. Vesting calculations use April 23, 2025, the token generation date, as their starting point.
Veranta has always been more than a single-market perpetuals venue. The protocol was built to make leverage available across a broader set of global markets, from crypto to currencies, commodities and indices. As that market surface expands, the ecosystem needs a common layer that can align traders, liquidity providers, builders and long-term contributors.
$AVNT is that layer. It ties protocol security to participation, creates a framework for community ownership and gives contributors a clearer stake in the growth of the network.
The token launch is not the end state. It is the start of a more open phase for Veranta, with more utility, governance and ecosystem participation to come.
Avantis is now Veranta. The new identity reflects a broader ambition: more global markets, more ways to trade them, and infrastructure built for both traders and agents.
