Proposal Overview

This proposal is put forward by Artis, a specialist market infrastructure and liquidity provider (https://artis.systems/), to design and execute a targeted initiative aimed at increasing AVT liquidity, visibility, and trading activity on decentralised exchanges (DEXes) while also supporting centralised exchange order books.

The objective is to diversify trading activity beyond centralised exchanges, improve price stability, and make AVT more accessible to a wider base of users, traders, and DeFi integrations.

NOTE: This is the second vote for this proposal, due to technical issues during initial the voting window.

How it Works

Currently, AVT trading volume is concentrated primarily on centralised exchanges, which can lead to liquidity risks and reduced trading flexibility. To address this, the proposal aims to:

• Seed liquidity pools on major DEXs (e.g., Uniswap AVT/USDT and AVT/ETH pools) to improve decentralised trading options.
• Provide liquidity and support on centralised exchange order books to maintain tight spreads and strong market depth.

The program will deploy community treasury funds to provide initial liquidity and ongoing support, helping to create a sustainable trading environment that encourages organic volume growth. These funds will still be owned by the community, and can be returned at any point.

The combined approach of supporting both DEX liquidity pools and centralised exchange order books will:

• Reduce slippage and improve price execution.
• Expand access for diverse user groups and geographies.
• Strengthen AVT’s market presence and trading stability across venues.

All activities will be executed in full compliance with applicable laws and community governance principles.

The program will:

• Be rolled out over a three-month period with phased liquidity injections and order book support.
• Be monitored closely, with regular community updates on performance and outcomes. Include educational content to encourage community participation in liquidity provision.

Benefits to AVT Community

• Diversifies trading venues and reduces reliance on single platforms.
• Improves liquidity and order book quality, resulting in better trading experiences.
• Increases token visibility and accessibility across DeFi and centralised markets.
• Supports sustainable growth through enhanced market confidence.

If this Vote is Approved

If approved, 100,000 USDT (paid in AVT, with the price calculated using the spot rate on CoinGecko at time of transfer, plus 5% for any slippage/fees incurred) and 50,000 AVT will be allocated from the community treasury to fund the multi-venue liquidity and market support program.
