TradeSta Is Live on Avalanche

After months of building, testing, and listening — it’s here.  TradeSta officially launches to the public Today, May 5, 2025.

Backed by the power of Avalanche, integrated with Pyth Network, and shaped by feedback from the TradeSta and Quokka communities, this launch marks a major leap forward in what it means to trade real assets — trustlessly, transparently, and onchain.

What is TradeSta?

TradeSta is a decentralized perpetuals trading platform where users can trade crypto, FX, and commodities with up to 100x leverage, without giving up control of their assets.

There are no accounts to create, no middlemen to trust, and no hidden fees to fear — just fully self-custodial, transparent trading on the blockchain.

What’s Available at Launch?

At launch, users will be able to:

• Trade using Market Orders and Limit Orders

• Use USDC for both collateral and payouts (no token complexity)

• Access 12 supported markets across crypto, commodities, and FX

  
  

Supported Trading Pairs:

Crypto: BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, AVAX, BNB

Commodities: USOILSPOT (crude oil), XAU (gold), XAG (silver)

Forex: EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD

Users can connect using Core Wallet, MetaMask, or any wallet via WalletConnect, as long as they’re holding USDC on the Avalanche blockchain.

Full Transparency, Onchain

TradeSta doesn’t just talk about transparency — it’s built into the DNA of the platform:

• Funding rates, fees, and liquidations are all tracked and visible on the Avalanche blockchain.

  
  

• Collateral vaults are managed by smart contracts, not centralized custodians.

  
  

• Every trade, every fee, every movement is verifiable.

“Traders are tired of shadow systems. We built TradeSta so users can see everything. If it happens on the platform, it’s onchain — period.” — Kieron Cartledge, CEO of TradeSta

Built on Avalanche

TradeSta is deployed on Avalanche C-Chain, chosen for its ultra-fast finality, low fees, and seamless EVM compatibility. When trading with leverage, every second counts — and Avalanche delivers the speed needed for serious traders.

“Avalanche gives us the infrastructure to scale real-time, onchain trading. It feels like Web2, but you own everything.” — Hasan Zahr, CTO of TradeSta

Powered by Pyth Network

Price accuracy is everything in leveraged trading. That’s why TradeSta integrates with Pyth Network to provide real-time, institutional-grade price feeds across all supported markets.

With Pyth, there’s no guessing — traders see and act on the most accurate prices possible, sourced from top-tier data providers.

Final Thoughts

TradeSta isn’t another fork. It’s not a hype play. It’s a real product, solving real problems, for real traders. And this is just the beginning.

“Our vision is to make real-world, high-leverage trading fully onchain and self-custodial — without sacrificing usability. TradeSta is the first step.” — Kieron Cartledge, CEO
