Veranta review
Avantis became Veranta, and the model stayed the same: an AMM-style venue where your fee depends on which side of the market you take, from 0.001% when you balance open interest to 0.045% when you add to it. Leverage reaches 500x on FX majors and 250x on blue-chip crypto through Upside Perps.
veranta.xyz
Perpetual futures are leveraged: a small move against you can liquidate your position. Only trade what you can afford to lose.
- Trading fees
- 0.045% taker · 0.001% makerNo order book: the venue prices against its vault and rewards the side that balances open interest. Opening or closing on the lighter side costs 0.001%, on the heavier side 0.045%, charged on notional at both ends. Forex, commodities, indices and equities trade with zero commission while those markets are in growth mode, and Upside Perps skip upfront fees to take a share of profits instead. Funding and borrow are charged while the position is open.

Who it’s for
Pick it if
You want one account for FX, equities, commodities and crypto, and you are willing to trade the balancing side to pay almost nothing.
Skip it if
You need a stable brand with years of documentation, a mobile app, or a cash-percentage referral published up front.
Strengths / Limits
Strengths
- 5% referral rebates on referees' fees, with no application and no volume threshold: the code is created in the app.
- $3.2B of perp volume over 30 days across 100+ assets, with the docs targeting 500+ RWA markets by the end of 2026.
- Asymmetric fees reward balancing trades: 0.001% on the lighter side against 0.045% on the heavier side.
- Trading is gasless: you sign, Veranta submits and sponsors the gas, so no ETH is needed to open a position.
Limits
- The brand changed in 2026: avantis.finance is now an expired domain for sale, and the documentation links moved to docs.veranta.xyz.
- The deposit chain is read from DefiLlama (Base); the docs describe gasless trading but do not list the deposit networks in text.
- RWA zero-fee trading is explicitly a temporary growth mode, so the headline can change without notice.

How to start safely
- Open the official app
Type veranta.xyz yourself or use a bookmark: phishing copies of perp exchanges are common.
- Deposit a small amount first
Send a test deposit of the collateral the exchange accepts, on the chain it documents, before moving more.
- Set leverage and a stop before the order
Pick isolated margin for a new trade, keep leverage low, and place the stop-loss with the order, not after.
- Watch funding and liquidation price
Funding is paid regularly while a position is open, and the liquidation price moves closer as leverage rises.
