Almost two months ago, Aevo mobile was launched, but today, mobile traders are getting the full trading experience with PERPS+ now live on mobile.
PERPS+ puts three one-click enhancers on your $BTC and $ETH perps:
- Limit My Loss: caps your exact downside at entry, with the upside left completely uncapped. - Get Paid to Hold: collects a premium on your position immediately, trading some profit ceiling for guaranteed income today. - Lock My Range: defines both your worst case and best case for approximately zero net cost.
Protocols like $ATOM and $CRV built their holder base around staking mechanics that reward long-term commitment. Aevo's version of that commitment is now visible for every trader for the first time.
The new permanent leaderboard shows each account its projected reward from the 2026 USDC distribution, live trading volume across perps and options, and staking tier with $AEVO balance, all in one place.
For 2026, approximately 808,800 USDC is projected to go to stakers and traders.
Protocols like $UNI and $AAVE built their reputation on distributing real revenue back to participants. Aevo runs the same principle, but for active traders.
Two streams pay out every single week.
The first is USDC cashback, funded directly by exchange trading fees. Every epoch, active traders receive a share based on their volume.
The second is the weekly trading epoch, distributing 1M $AEVO to active traders every week, from the DAO treasury, separate from trading fees entirely.
Two streams, two funding sources, both paying weekly.
And there is a third reward structure for stakers and active traders. More on that tomorrow 🧠
Crypto leaned a bit positively this week. $LDO and $ZEC were among the names holding gains while Micron, SK Hynix, and SanDisk moved sharply on AI infrastructure demand and supply signals.
Two markets, two macro catalysts, moving at the same time.
On Aevo, both are in the same account. Micron, SK Hynix, and SanDisk trade as perpetual futures alongside crypto perps, all backed by the same collateral pool, with no brokerage account required.
A volatile week in semis and a positive week in crypto are the same trading session for Aevo traders, where every trade (crypto or equity) feeds the same fee pool that buys back and burns $AEVO monthly.
Every trade, whether of $HYPE options or $SOL perps or anything else on the Aevo mobile app generates exchange fees the same way a web trade does, and those fees flow into the weekly USDC cashback distributed to traders at the end of each epoch and into the monthly AEVO buyback and burn.
That includes every PERPS+ trade placed on mobile, which feeds the same fee pool as every web trade before it.
Mobile traders on Aevo are in the same loop. Same cashback, same epoch rewards, same buyback mechanic.

Active traders running positions across $TAO perps, $HYPE options, TSLA equities, and gold know the friction: every new market means a separate account, a separate margin balance, and capital that sits idle while it waits to be deployed.
Aevo solves this at the execution layer.
One account and one margin pool cover perps, options, equity futures, and commodities simultaneously, so a trader running a BTC perp, a HYPE options position, and an equity futures trade shares the same collateral balance across everything.
Every perp trader knows the setup, when you're right on $BTC or $ETH right on the direction, but the market wicks down, your stop gets run, and you're out before the move happens.
The standard tools don't fix this because tighter stops mean more frequent exits, while wider stops mean bigger losses when you're wrong.
Every risk management decision in perp trading is a compromise.
PERPS+ was built from that observation, with "Limit My Loss" letting a trader define the exact maximum they can lose on a perp at entry, for a defined time window, with the upside left completely uncapped.
The position cannot be liquidated below the floor, and the stop cannot be run, so the trader stays in the trade.
No options knowledge is required, it just works like a standard perp with a defined downside built in from the start.
And very soon, this is going to be a lot closer to you than it already is 🔥
When you open a trade, and your thesis is right with $ETH or $BTC holding its range and the move is coming, but it hasn't come yet, in the meantime, you'll be paying funding and earning nothing.
Most perp traders accept that as the cost of conviction.
PERPS+ has a mode for this.
"Get Paid to Hold" lets you collect a premium on your position at entry, earning from the start before the market moves in your direction.
No options knowledge, no Greeks, and no expiry to manage, it's just a perp that pays you while you wait.
$AAVE and $S are among the names now openly rethinking how value flows back to token holders, both moving toward mechanics where activity directly impacts the token.
That same shift is what AGP-3 locked in for Aevo.
Every month, a portion of exchange fees goes toward buying back AEVO from the open market and burning it permanently.
74 million AEVO have been removed from supply to date, across the inaugural AGP-3 burn and every monthly buyback since.
Every product Aevo adds, including HYPE options, PERPS+, and new equity futures, generates exchange fees that feed the same burn.
The tradeable universe expands, and the supply contracts 🔥
$LINK talked first about the tokenization of equities, while Dinari on $AVAX is proving the same points.
Equities onchain are inevitable and already here, but crypto traders have been watching equity markets move with no clean way in.
On Aevo, that changes. Crypto traders can go long or short on MU, SNDK, TSLA, SKHX and more, with no brokerage account, no TradFi rails, and no separate margin pool.
Every equity futures trade on Aevo feeds the same buyback mechanic as every other product on the exchange, with exchange fees generated from equity volume going toward the monthly $AEVO buyback and burn, the same as perps, options, and PERPS+ trades.
As Aevo keeps expanding its tradeable universe, every new market added tightens the AEVO supply.
Mid last month, the US-Iran ceasefire was announced, risk assets moved, and $BTC and $ETH rebounded.
Across derivatives venues, traders expressed their conviction through leverage.
Aevo logged $38M+ in single-day volume that day.
That's the protocol running the way it was built to: when markets move, the exchange absorbs the volume, generates the fees, pays USDC cashback + $AEVO rewards to the traders who drove it, and uses exchange fees to fund the monthly buyback and burn.
Perps exploded because traders could get leverage on almost any asset, while Options on-chain stayed narrow, mostly Bitcoin and $ETH
Assets like $HYPE where options demand is obvious simply weren't available on a proper venue.
Aevo listed HYPE options on June 10 on a native order book, with full calls and puts, multiple strikes, expiries from 0DTE through end of July, and traders picking the strike, the tenor, and the side themselves.
HYPE options sit inside Aevo's unified margin, meaning that a HYPE put and a $BTC perp share the same account and the same collateral balance, so hedging a HYPE position doesn't mean moving capital between venues.
Every HYPE options trade counts toward Aevo's weekly epoch rewards, so while traders get HYPE options exposure, they also earn AEVO rewards on every position
After multiple cycles, DeFi platforms like $AAVE and $UNI are still building, shipping through v2, v3, and v4 long after the narrative had moved elsewhere.
Aevo has been in the on-chain derivatives space long enough to see what perps traders actually lose money on, and the answer is the absence of a defined downside at entry.
PERPS+ was built from that observation.
'Limit My Loss' lets a trader define the exact maximum they can lose on a BTC or ETH perp at entry, for a defined time window, with the upside left fully uncapped.
This requires no options knowledge.
The longer you've been watching traders manage risk, the clearer the next mechanic becomes. PERPS+ is how Aevo answers that call.
Every PERPS+ trade feeds Aevo's monthly buyback. The product and the token pull in the same direction.
Players like $AVAX earlier this year spoke on how the economics of the token have to evolve to mirror the network's present maturity, while contributors for projects like $AERO are standing firm on not selling tokens.
One thing is clear: every project is looking at its token with a new standard.
For holders who formed their view of $AEVO during the TGE period, the supply structure they remember no longer exists... AGP-3 was the mechanism that replaced it, and the on-chain buyback & burn record is where that shows.
Aevo's supply is also fully distributed, with every token that will ever circulate already circulating, and no team cliff, no VC allocation, no scheduled release adding to the float.
What AGP-3 established is that every product Aevo adds, like HYPE options, PERPS+, equities futures, and others, feeds the same buyback mechanic.
Aevo keeps expanding, and the supply keeps contracting ⚡️
$TAO and $XMR sit at opposite ends of the market narrative spectrum: AI infrastructure on one side, privacy infrastructure on the other.
Both are live on Aevo for traders.
That's the pattern across the entire platform, whatever narrative the market is rotating into, Aevo has the derivatives market for it.
AI tokens, RWA infrastructure, meme cycles, TradFi equities like Robinhood and Coinbase, commodities like gold and silver, and HYPE options with the full strike surface.
Every trade across any of these markets earns epoch rewards with a weekly $AEVO distribution.
Platforms like $JUP and $UNI built their user bases by collapsing complex DeFi mechanics into interfaces anyone can use.
PERPS+ does the same thing for options.
Most perps traders avoid options because managing a separate position, sizing the hedge, and tracking the Greeks is a separate job on top of the trade itself, but PERPS+ removes all of that.
One click attaches an options strategy directly to any perp position, where the sizing, the direction, and the options leg are handled automatically.
Three enhancers, each with a different payoff structure:
• Limit My Loss: caps downside at your chosen level while keeping profit potential open. • Get Paid to Hold: collects premium upfront in exchange for capping the upside. • Lock My Range: defines both sides of the trade with roughly zero net cost.
PERPS+ volume also counts toward epoch rewards, where top traders by volume earn additional USDC prizes on top of the weekly AEVO distribution.
