Aevo: A New Era for Derivatives Trading
Aevo, formerly known as Ribbon Finance, emerged from the RGP-33 governance proposal with a revamped focus on delivering comprehensive derivatives trading. The platform supports perpetual trading, pre-launch futures, and options, all within a single margin account. Leveraging the OP Stack, Aevo utilizes an off-chain order book combined with on-chain settlement on Ethereum, enhanced by Celestia for improved scalability.

The future looks promising as Aevo plans to introduce vault strategies, yield products, and a staking mechanism. Additionally, the platform will enable decentralized applications (dApps) to deploy on Aevo L2, broadening its ecosystem.
