Aevo is a decentralized derivatives exchange focused on options, perpetuals, and pre-launch trading.

Aevo runs on the Aevo L2, a custom Ethereum rollup built using the Optimism stack. This enables Aevo to support over 5,000 transactions per second and process over $30 billion in trading volume.

The exchange uses a hybrid model - an off-chain central limit order book for matching trades, combined with on-chain settlement of the actual trades using smart contracts on Ethereum L2. This allows Aevo to provide a high-performance, low-latency trading experience similar to centralized exchanges while maintaining the security and transparency of decentralized settlement.

Aevo is built by the team that launched Ribbon Finance.
