FAQ
What is the connection between Aevo and Ribbon Finance?
Ribbon Finance was a DeFi protocol known for structured options vaults that automated covered call and put-selling strategies for yield. The Ribbon team recognized they needed a deeper, more liquid options market to power their vaults effectively, and built Aevo as a dedicated derivatives exchange. The two products share a team and are integrated, Ribbon's vaults route options orders through Aevo's exchange, providing consistent flow for liquidity providers on the platform.
How does Aevo achieve CEX-like speed while remaining on-chain?
Aevo uses a hybrid architecture: the order book and matching engine run off-chain for speed, while settlement and custody remain on-chain via Aevo's custom Ethereum rollup. Traders deposit to and withdraw from the rollup contract on Ethereum, so funds are secured by Ethereum's consensus layer. Orders are matched in milliseconds off-chain, but the net settlement of positions happens on-chain, providing verifiable proof of ownership without requiring every order interaction to pay gas.
What types of instruments can traders access on Aevo?
Aevo offers European-style options and perpetual futures on major crypto assets including BTC, ETH, and various altcoins. The options market is particularly notable for its depth relative to other on-chain options venues, inherited from Ribbon's history of generating structured options flow. Traders can use the platform for directional speculation, hedging, or constructing multi-leg options strategies.
Does trading AEVO/USD on StoicFX mean I hold tokens?
No. AEVO/USD on StoicFX is a Contract for Difference. You trade AEVO's price against the US dollar without holding any tokens.
