# AEVO EXCHANGE

## **Aevo.xyz – Decentralized Derivatives Exchange**

Aevo is a decentralized trading platform that supports options, perpetual futures, pre launch futures and structured products within a unified margin system. It is built on a custom Layer 2 chain based on the OP Stack, combining off-chain order matching with on-chain settlement.

## Key Characteristics

* **Multi-Instrument Support**: Enables trading of options, perpetuals, and structured strategies from a single margin account. 
* **Custom Layer 2 Architecture**: Built on an OP Stack-based rollup to provide high throughput and low latency while inheriting Ethereum’s security.
* **Hybrid Matching Engine**: Trades are matched off-chain and settled on-chain, balancing performance and trustlessness.
* **Asset Coverage**: Includes both established and emerging tokens, with flexible strike prices and expiries for options contracts.

Aevo is intended for users who require a performance-oriented decentralized environment for derivatives trading, without relying on centralized infrastructure.
