Institutional-grade yield, on-chain and accessible. Everything you need to know about holding and using savUSD on Movement.
Move Industries, the core contributor of the Movement Network, has partnered with Avant Protocol to bring institutional-grade yield natively to Movement. Starting today, Movement users and fintech partners can access savUSD, Avant's yield-bearing stablecoin and the risk-buffered infrastructure behind it.

You deposit USDC, and Avant puts them to work using market-neutral strategies managed by professional trading teams. Think of it like a high-yield savings account, but on-chain, transparent, and accessible to everyone.
Avant has been battle-tested across Avalanche, Ethereum, Linea, Arbitrum, Berachain, and Plasma in some of the most stressful market conditions. Movement is the newest addition to the family.
Avant has a simple three-token structure for each asset type:
Deposit USDC, get avUSD. Backed 1:1 by USDC. Think of it as your receipt.
Stake your avUSD to get savUSD. It automatically earns yield over time. This is where the magic happens.
Higher yield, but it absorbs losses first if something goes wrong. Higher reward, higher risk.
Avant also offers avBTC/savBTC/avBTCx and avETH/savETH/avETHx for Bitcoin and Ethereum, with the same three-token structure.
savUSD is launching on Movement. Movement users will be able to hold and use Avant's yield-bearing stablecoin directly on the Movement network.
Once live, savUSD will be integrated into Movement's DeFi ecosystem — lending, borrowing, and liquidity pools. Your stablecoins earn yield just by holding savUSD, and then you can put them to work even further across Movement DeFi.
The easiest way. Once savUSD is live on Movement, you can swap for it on Movement DEXes or pick it up on any supported chain where savUSD has liquidity. No minting, no staking, no bridging — just buy it and hold. You'll start earning yield immediately.

Yield is variable and depends on market conditions, but the key thing is it's real yield from actual trading strategies — not token emissions or points farming. You can check current performance anytime on Avant's Transparency Dashboard, which shows exactly how capital is deployed and performing.
Movement is building one of the most exciting ecosystems, and savUSD is a natural fit for the growing DeFi stack:
Yes — that's the whole point. Once savUSD is live on Movement, it'll be integrated into the ecosystem's lending and liquidity protocols. You can:
You're essentially stacking yield: Avant's base yield from strategies + whatever DeFi yield you earn on Movement.
USDC holds its $1 value but doesn't earn you anything. savUSD is a yield-bearing stablecoin — while USDC sits idle, savUSD is continuously earning yield from Avant's strategies.
Think of it this way: USDC is cash in a checking account. savUSD is cash in a high-yield savings account that you can also use across DeFi.
Yes — like any chain, you'll need a small amount of MOVE (Movement's native gas token) to pay for transaction fees. The amount is minimal. You can get MOVE through Movement's native bridge or from supported exchanges.
The Avant app shows your portfolio, current yield rates, and historical performance. The Transparency Dashboard gives a full breakdown of how all capital is deployed across strategies.
savUSD is a value-accruing token — its value relative to avUSD increases over time as yield accumulates. You don't need to claim rewards; it happens automatically.
