Avalanche is the latest base layer to be added to decentralized finance (DeFi) aggregator OpenOcean.

OpenOcean connects decentralized and centralized exchanges on its supported networks, automatically seeking the best trades.
The site has processed more than 970,000 transactions since its launch in September 2020 and claims to have 270,000 active unique addresses, a rough proxy of users in the pseudonymous world of DeFi.
OpenOcean added Ethereum layer 2 Polygon in July.
Avalanche and its native AVAX token have surged in recent weeks as DeFi users look to get a slice of $180 million in incentives on Benqi, SushiSwap and other decentralized lending platforms.
