what's aevo?
Aevo is a decentralized exchange (DEX) specializing in options and perpetual futures (perps) trading. It operates on a custom Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) roll-up for high performance and scalability, with off-chain orderbooks for efficient matching and on-chain settlements for security. The platform supports advanced trading strategies, including tokenized assets and high-leverage perps up to 1000x. Aevo aims to bridge traditional finance derivatives with DeFi, offering features like liquidity incentives and integration with modular data availability solutions like Celestia. Its native token, AEVO, is used for governance, staking, and incentives within the ecosystem.
Aevo launched MCP, an open-source integration enabling AI agents to access its exchange for analysis and trading.
