## About

### What it is

Decibel offers perpetual futures with cross-margin and multi-collateral support across APT, ETH, BTC, and USDC, with spot trading and composable yield strategies planned for 2026. It launched on Aptos Mainnet on February 26, 2026 following a testnet phase with over 700,000 unique accounts and $58M in pre-deposits.

### Who uses it

Decibel is a fully onchain trading engine incubated by Aptos Labs and built on the Aptos blockchain.

### How it works

The protocol executes and matches trades directly onchain using Aptos's parallel execution and sub-125ms block times, eliminating centralized sequencers and enabling transparent settlement of every order and liquidation.
