Decentralised finance protocol Avant has secured $6.5 million in a seed round led by several major crypto firms.

去中心化金融協議 Avant 在幾家主要加密貨幣公司領投的種子輪融資中獲得了 650 萬美元的資金。

The round was led by Superlayer, a protocol for building and deploying decentralized applications, and included participation from Avalaunch, a decentralized application launchpad on the Avalanche network; GoGoPool, a decentralized exchange on Avalanche; Daybreak Digital, a venture capital firm focused on Web3 and early-stage technology companies; and Linda Kreitzman, an angel investor and adviser.

該輪融資由Superlayer（一種用於構建和部署去中心化應用程式的協議）牽頭，Avalaunch（Avalanche 網路上的去中心化應用程式啟動板）也參與其中； GoGoPool，Avalanche 上的去中心化交易所； Daybreak Digital，專注於 Web3 和早期科技公司的創投公司；琳達‧克萊茨曼 (Linda Kreitzman)，天使投資人兼顧問。

Avant is building crypto-yield generating neutral tokens without relying on centralized exchanges. The company’s first product, avUSD, is a “stable-value” token that can be staked to receive a yield-generating version of the token, called savUSD. Users can mint avUSD by staking the USDC or the USDT stablecoins. The product is currently in early access, allowing only a select group of whitelisted addresses to stake.

Avant 正在建立加密收益，在不依賴中心化交易所的情況下產生中性代幣。該公司的第一個產品 avUSD 是一種「價值穩定」的代幣，可以透過抵押來獲得該代幣的產生收益版本，稱為 savUSD。用戶可以透過質押 USDC 或 USDT 穩定幣來鑄造 avUSD。該產品目前處於搶先體驗階段，僅允許選定的一組白名單地址進行質押。

“We’re excited about Avant’s vision for scaling decentralized finance and their approach to creating crypto-yield generating neutral tokens,” said Alex Svanevik, co-founder and CEO of Superlayer, in a statement. “Their team has a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities in DeFi, and we believe their solution will be a valuable addition to the Avalanche ecosystem.”

Superlayer 聯合創始人兼首席執行官 Alex Svanevik 在一份聲明中表示：“我們對 Avant 擴展去中心化金融的願景以及他們創建加密收益生成中性代幣的方法感到興奮。” “他們的團隊對 DeFi 的挑戰和機會有著深入的了解，我們相信他們的解決方案將成為 Avalanche 生態系統的寶貴補充。”

Avant was founded in 2022 by Rhett Shipp, a former software engineer at Google and early employee at the decentralized exchange dYdX. The company is headquartered in San Francisco.

Avant 由 Rhett Shipp 於 2022 年創立，他是Google前軟體工程師，也是去中心化交易所 dYdX 的早期員工。該公司總部位於舊金山。

“We chose to build on Avalanche because it’s the fastest, most decentralized, and most scalable L1 chain,” said Shipp in a statement. “We’re also impressed by the community and the ecosystem that’s been built around Avalanche, and we’re excited to be a part of it.”

「我們選擇在 Avalanche 上構建，因為它是最快、最去中心化且最具可擴展性的 L1 鏈，」Shipp 在聲明中表示。 “圍繞 Avalanche 構建的社區和生態系統也給我們留下了深刻的印象，我們很高興能成為其中的一部分。”

Avant plans to use the fresh capital to scale its product, hire more engineers, and launch its native token. The company is also exploring expanding to other Layer 1 blockchains.

Avant 計劃利用新資金擴展其產品、僱用更多工程師並推出其原生代幣。該公司也正在探索擴展到其他第一層區塊鏈。

“We’re grateful for the support of our investors and we’re excited to continue building Avant,” said Shipp. “We believe that our technology has the potential to revolutionize the way people earn yield on their crypto assets, and we’re looking forward to bringing our product to market.”

「我們感謝投資者的支持，並且很高興能夠繼續打造 Avant，」Shipp 說。 “我們相信我們的技術有潛力徹底改變人們透過加密資產賺取收益的方式，我們期待著將我們的產品推向市場。”

Avant has been compared to the Ethereum-based Ethena, which offers the $ENA token. However, Shipp explained to The Block the key difference between the two.

Avant 與基於以太坊的 Ethena 進行比較，後者提供 $ENA 代幣。然而，Shipp 向 The Block 解釋了兩者之間的關鍵差異。

“Ethena’s USDe generates yield via the ‘carry trade.’ The carry trade is very high yielding in some market conditions and less so in others,” he said. “Avant engages in the carry trade too but engages in other market-neutral trades when the carry trade is less profitable. So far, this has resulted in notably higher yields than Ethena produces. Furthermore, even when the carry trade is profitable, we believe we can perform it more productively than our peers.”

「Ethena 的 USDe 透過『套利交易』產生收益。在某些市場條件下，套利交易的收益率非常高，而在其他市場條件下則較低，」他表示。 「Avant 也從事套利交易，但當套利交易利潤較低時，它會參與其他市場中性交易。到目前為止，這使得產量明顯高於 Ethena 的產量。此外，即使套利交易有利可圖，我們也相信我們可以比同行更有效率地進行交易。

According to Shipp, the product currently has just over $5 million in total value locked and fewer than 10 depositors amid its early-access strategy of enabling staking for a few selected addresses.

據 Shipp 稱，該產品目前鎖定的總價值剛剛超過 500 萬美元，並且在其早期訪問策略中為一些選定的地址啟用了質押，存款人還不到 10 名。

“That whitelist will expand over the next few weeks,” he said, adding that the avUSD and the savUSD will be open to the public in December, which he believes will pave the way for the TVL to grow.

「該白名單將在未來幾週內擴大，」他補充說，avUSD 和 savUSD 將於 12 月向公眾開放，他相信這將為 TVL 的增長鋪平道路。

Avant makes money by charging at least 10% in fees on the yield generated from staked tokens and plans to launch its native token AVANT in the first quarter of 2025.

Avant 透過對質押代幣產生的收益收取至少 10% 的費用來賺錢，並計劃在 2025 年第一季推出其原生代幣 AVANT。
