Aevo (AEVO)
Key data
updated $0Aevo (AEVO) is the native token of Aevo, a decentralized exchange focused on derivatives — options and perpetual futures. The platform pairs an off-chain order book with on-chain settlement on its own Ethereum-based layer-2 rollup, aiming to offer centralized-exchange speed without giving up self-custody. The token has a fixed hard cap of 1 billion coins.
Frequently asked questions
What is Aevo, and how is it different from other crypto exchanges?
Aevo is a decentralized exchange built specifically for derivatives — options and perpetual futures — rather than plain spot trading. Instead of the automated market maker model used by platforms like Uniswap, it runs a traditional order book, so pricing and execution feel like a centralized exchange while your funds stay in your own wallet.
How does Aevo's technology work?
Aevo operates on its own layer-2 rollup built on Ethereum using the OP Stack. The matching engine runs off-chain, which keeps trading fast, while settlement is recorded on-chain, which keeps it transparent. It's essentially a hybrid designed to combine centralized-exchange speed with decentralized custody.
How is AEVO's emission and supply structured?
AEVO has a hard cap of 1 billion tokens, meaning the total supply can never exceed that number. A significant share was distributed through airdrops to early users and traders, while the rest was allocated to the team, investors, and ecosystem incentives under multi-year vesting schedules. The idea is to tie rewards to the people who actually use the platform.
How do I store and use AEVO?
AEVO is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, so any Ethereum-compatible wallet — MetaMask, Rabby, or a hardware wallet like Ledger — will store it safely. Beyond simply holding it, the token's main practical role is governance: holders can vote on decisions that shape how the exchange develops.
