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

去中心化金融协议 Avant 在几家主要加密货币公司领投的种子轮融资中获得了 650 万美元的资金。

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.

该轮融资由Superlayer（一种用于构建和部署去中心化应用程序的协议）牵头，Avalaunch（Avalanche 网络上的去中心化应用程序启动板）也参与其中； GoGoPool，Avalanche 上的去中心化交易所； Daybreak Digital，一家专注于 Web3 和早期技术公司的风险投资公司；琳达·克莱茨曼 (Linda Kreitzman)，天使投资人兼顾问。

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 正在构建加密收益，在不依赖中心化交易所的情况下生成中性代币。该公司的第一个产品 avUSD 是一种“价值稳定”的代币，可以通过抵押来获得该代币的产生收益版本，称为 savUSD。用户可以通过质押 USDC 或 USDT 稳定币来铸造 avUSD。该产品目前处于抢先体验阶段，仅允许选定的一组白名单地址进行质押。

“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 联合创始人兼首席执行官 Alex Svanevik 在一份声明中表示：“我们对 Avant 扩展去中心化金融的愿景以及他们创建加密收益生成中性代币的方法感到兴奋。” “他们的团队对 DeFi 的挑战和机遇有着深入的了解，我们相信他们的解决方案将成为 Avalanche 生态系统的宝贵补充。”

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 于 2022 年创立，他是谷歌前软件工程师，也是去中心化交易所 dYdX 的早期员工。该公司总部位于旧金山。

“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.”

“我们选择在 Avalanche 上构建，因为它是最快、最去中心化且最具可扩展性的 L1 链，”Shipp 在一份声明中表示。 “围绕 Avalanche 构建的社区和生态系统也给我们留下了深刻的印象，我们很高兴能成为其中的一部分。”

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 计划利用新资金扩展其产品、雇用更多工程师并推出其原生代币。该公司还在探索扩展到其他第一层区块链。

“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.”

“我们感谢投资者的支持，并且很高兴能够继续打造 Avant，”Shipp 说道。 “我们相信我们的技术有潜力彻底改变人们通过加密资产赚取收益的方式，我们期待着将我们的产品推向市场。”

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 与基于以太坊的 Ethena 进行比较，后者提供 $ENA 代币。然而，Shipp 向 The Block 解释了两者之间的关键区别。

“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 通过‘套利交易’产生收益。在某些市场条件下，套利交易的收益率非常高，而在其他市场条件下则较低，”他表示。 “Avant 也从事套利交易，但当套利交易利润较低时，它会参与其他市场中性交易。到目前为止，这使得产量明显高于 Ethena 的产量。此外，即使套利交易有利可图，我们也相信我们可以比同行更高效地进行交易。”

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.

据 Shipp 称，该产品目前锁定的总价值刚刚超过 500 万美元，并且在其早期访问策略中为一些选定的地址启用了质押，存款人还不到 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.

“该白名单将在未来几周内扩大，”他补充说，avUSD 和 savUSD 将于 12 月向公众开放，他相信这将为 TVL 的增长铺平道路。

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 通过对质押代币产生的收益收取至少 10% 的费用来赚钱，并计划在 2025 年第一季度推出其原生代币 AVANT。
