what's AVNU?
AVNU is a decentralized exchange aggregator and liquidity infrastructure protocol built on the Starknet blockchain. It optimizes trade execution by intelligently routing swaps across multiple DEXs on the network, securing the most competitive prices and access to a broad range of assets while prioritizing user experience. Key features include DCA orders, paymaster support for gasless transactions, curated token lists, and advanced trading tools. AVNU was the first DEX audited under Cairo 1.0 by NethermindStark and has pioneered milestones like billion-dollar cumulative volume on Starknet.
