APT

Summary

In a press release, Decibel announced the launch of its invite-only test environment on the Aptos devnet. The on-chain trading protocol combines spot trading, perpetual futures, and yield strategies with simulated cross-margin trading, composable vaults, and high-speed order execution. Designed to mimic the performance of centralized exchanges while maintaining DeFi transparency, the platform addresses industry demands amid significant DEX and DeFi activity. Backed by the Decibel Foundation and developed with Aptos Labs, future upgrades aim to scale to 1 million orders per second with sub-20ms block times, positioning Decibel as a core execution layer on Aptos alongside systems like Shelby for decentralized data storage.
