Aptos-Backed Decibel Launches High-Speed On-Chain Trading Platform on Devnet

Decibel, an on-chain trading protocol supported by Aptos Labs, has commenced operations on the Aptos devnet with a unified interface for spot trading, perpetual futures, and yield strategies. The invite-only test environment simulates cross-margin trading, composable vaults, and CEX-like execution speeds while maintaining DeFi transparency.

The launch aligns with surging demand for performant decentralized infrastructure. DEXs processed $876 billion in Q2 volume, with weekly DeFi activity exceeding $48 billion across 14 million wallets. Decibel aims to serve as Aptos' execution layer, complementing its stablecoin payments and decentralized storage protocols.

"We're creating the execution layer," stated Decibel Foundation director Oliver Bell. The platform natively addresses latency and fragmentation issues plaguing existing DeFi architectures.
