This app operates on the Avalanche blockchain and offers a convenience-focused approach, allowing users to manage both fiat and cryptocurrency without the need for traditional custodial services.

The Axon app's key features include instant borrowing and transfers between fiat and crypto via DeFi protocols, opportunities for users to earn by exchanging fiat and crypto for staking, efficient buying, selling, and swapping of digital assets with minimal fees, and full control and custody over assets which helps to avoid the risks associated with centralized exchanges.

Axon aims to address existing problems in the financial and crypto markets with its low-cost, decentralized alternative.
