Most people see @avantisfi as just a place to trade with 500x leverage.
But what clicked for me is this:

Leverage isn’t the product optional risk is.

Everything on Avantis is modular. You can:
–  Sit in a fixed yield vault
–  Trade variable exposure
–  Mint afTokens for leveraged plays
–  Or take the other side and earn funding

And you’re not locked into any one mode. You choose the risk you’re comfortable with.

That’s different from most DeFi platforms that force users into one model (usually hidden under yield incentives).

Feels like Avantis is building an actual risk marketplace, not just a DEX.

Here’s what I’m wondering:
If users start thinking in terms of “risk preferences” instead of “APYs,” does that make protocols like this the new standard?

Would love to hear your take.
