Basis trading is one of the most common delta-neutral trading strategies, and the main yield source behind protocols such as @ethena_labs. 

The basis trade vault earns yield through funding payments. This works by simultaneously buying spot and selling a perpetual futures contract for the same asset.

The vault does not take any directional exposure (delta-neutral), as every long spot position is balanced by a short perpetual future position.

This vault is expected to perform positively as long as the funding rate is positive.

This is the automated flow behind Aevo’s Basis Trading Vault:

Users deposit USDC → We swap USDC to ETH → Spot ETH is used as collateral in Aevo → We short the same amount of ETH in perps → Users earn yield in USDC, and get extra incentive rewards in $AEVO

Over the last year (June 23 to June 24), the ETH basis trade returned 23.4%. We’re also offering an extra 5% APY (distributed weekly in $AEVO) to reward early supporters of Aevo Strategies.

This inspiration behind Aevo Strategies is that we know some users:

1) Prefer automated trading strategies over daily manual trading

2) May not be aware of the various market inefficiencies and arbitrage opportunities that arise in different market conditions

This is just the first of many strategies that we are launching under Aevo Strategies.

More to come very soon!
