Why TradeSta Chose to Build on Avalanche: The Future of Leverage trades.

When building a decentralized perpetuals trading platform, choosing the right blockchain isn’t just a technical decision—it’s a strategic one. At TradeSta, we’re creating a self-custodial leverage trading platform designed for degens, power users, and the next generation of onchain traders.

That meant finding a blockchain that aligned with our vision of full self-custody, scalability, low fees, and an ecosystem that could support—and grow alongside—what we’re building.

We chose Avalanche. Here’s why.

What TradeSta Needed from a Blockchain

Before writing a single line of code, we made one thing clear: TradeSta will be non-custodial by design. Every trader should own their keys, control their funds, and execute trades trustlessly—with no centralized intermediaries standing in the way.

But to achieve that, we needed a blockchain that could offer:

• True support for self-custody

• Fast and final transactions (essential for leverage trading)

• Scalable infrastructure that wouldn’t bottleneck during high-volume trading days

• Low gas fees so users could trade actively without friction

• A thriving ecosystem of DeFi protocols, dApps, and integrations

• Community and foundation support that goes beyond surface-level partnerships

It was a high bar—but Avalanche checked every box.

Why Avalanche is the Right Chain for Onchain Leverage Trading

Avalanche’s performance speaks for itself. With sub-second finality, high throughput, and low transaction costs, it provides the backbone we need to deliver a fast, low-latency decentralized exchange (DEX) experience.

Here’s what Avalanche brought to the table:

1. Speed and Finality for Real-Time Trading

In the world of onchain perps trading, speed matters. Avalanche’s unique consensus mechanism enables near-instant confirmation and finality. That means traders on TradeSta can enter and exit positions quickly—without delays or pending transactions that could cost them profit.

2. Low Fees for High-Frequency Traders

Nobody wants gas fees eating into their trades. With Avalanche’s low-cost architecture, we can keep the trading experience lean and capital-efficient. Whether you’re scalping, swinging, or just testing strategies, TradeSta keeps the fee pressure low.

3. Scalability that Grows with Us

Avalanche’s subnet technology and scalable design mean that as we grow, we don’t hit limits. Whether it’s onboarding more users, increasing trade volume, or spinning up specialized features, we can build without worrying about network congestion.

4. An Ecosystem That Welcomes Builders

Avalanche isn’t just tech—it’s community. The Avalanche Foundation and broader ecosystem have been incredibly supportive of what we’re building. We’re not just deploying on Avalanche—we’re integrating with it. From potential collaborations to liquidity partners, this is a blockchain where DeFi builders are seen and supported.

Shared Values: Decentralization and Self-Custody

The biggest reason we chose Avalanche? They share our belief in decentralization and user sovereignty.

We’re building TradeSta to be a platform where users own their experience. From collateralized leverage trades to unique token mechanics like burn-based trading, every part of our model rewards participation and control. Avalanche’s infrastructure allows us to make that vision real—without compromise.

As we launch and scale TradeSta, Avalanche gives us the tools, speed, and support to build a DEX that doesn’t just function—it thrives. We’re leveraging Avalanche’s strengths.

Avalanche isn’t just the blockchain we chose—it’s the one that empowers us to deliver on everything we promised our community.

If you're a trader looking for performance, control, and true onchain leverage—TradeSta on Avalanche is where you’ll want to be.
