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

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

The launch taps into surging demand for performant decentralized infrastructure. DEXs processed $876B in Q2 volume, with weekly DeFi activity exceeding $48B across 14M+ wallets. Decibel aims to become Aptos' execution layer, complementing its stablecoin payments and decentralized storage systems.

"We're creating the execution layer," emphasized Decibel Foundation director Oliver Bell. The protocol natively addresses latency and fragmentation issues plaguing existing on-chain trading systems.
