Speaker built Avant to provide a fully on-chain, transparent, yield-bearing "dollar-like" product (AVUSD) that automates complex DeFi yield strategies, solving the user pain point of constant monitoring and manual management. Incumbent stablecoins (e.g., Tether) capture all treasury yield. New entrants need a value proposition, and passing through yield is key. Avant offers a "mint and stake and chill" experience by professionally managing on-chain yield strategies with full transparency. WATCH because it addresses a clear user need for simplified yield access and transparency post-blowups (e.g., Seneca). Its success depends on sustaining attractive risk-adjusted yields and scaling TVL in a competitive market. Smart contract risk inherent in the underlying DeFi strategies, and competitive pressure from other yield-bearing stablecoin providers and native DeFi yield aggregators.
