Core Tokens

avUSD

Launched in July 2024 alongside savUSD^[5], avUSD is Avant’s flagship stable value token, minted when users deposit USDC or USDT. It represents a receipt for deposits, with the underlying funds managed by trusted partners to generate high returns in advanced, market-neutral DeFi, on-chain strategies. ^[6]

The returns come from a series of Avalanche-focused market-neutral strategies designed to ensure stability, scalability, and growth. Avant partnered with leading financial entities like 0xPartners, to effectively manage these strategies. ^[7]

"Avant utilizes a delta-neutral strategy, focusing on arbitrage and hedging to minimize risks associated with volatile markets, ensuring consistent returns." - the team explains^[5]

Through its staked version, savUSD, avUSD provides an avenue for earning returns, which makes it ideal for use as productive collateral. ^[8]

savUSD (Staked avUSD)

savUSD is the Staked version of avUSD, functioning as a yield-bearing asset. The yield is generated using the USDC and USDT that users deposit with market-neutral on-chain strategies. ^[6]

savUSD provides users with the opportunity to earn returns on their staked avUSD through well-managed investment strategies. It also provides users the flexibility to get their avUSD back with a 1-week delay of unstaking in place for security purposes. ^[6]
