1m agoFeb 26, 2026, 3:34 PMNewsroom AI

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].
