Decibel launches fully on‑chain perpetuals exchange on Aptos Mainnet
Decibel, an on‑chain perpetuals exchange incubated by Aptos Labs, has gone live on Aptos Mainnet with an entirely on‑chain order book and risk engine [3][4].
The protocol’s testnet produced more than 700,000 accounts and as many as 1 million daily trades, and reports place pre‑deposits ahead of mainnet between roughly $50 million and $58 million [2][3][4].
Coverage notes the launch follows the large testnet run and highlights infrastructure choices including use of Stripe’s Bridge as a supporting integration, and the rollout has generated community discussion on Reddit [4][1].
Mainnet trading is active according to industry reports and community posts, marking Decibel’s transition from testnet to production on Aptos [1][3].
