Trading fit

Choose Extended or Nado based on the execution, liquidity, and market coverage you actually need — not the largest leverage headline.

Program fit

Extended: Weekly distributions ended; final distribution pending. Nado: Current rewards and conversion unconfirmed. Treat program status as time-sensitive and verify the current rules before paying fees to farm.

Risk fit

Check collateral, custody, liquidation, withdrawal, jurisdiction, and oracle or counterparty assumptions in both full reviews before moving meaningful size.

Extended says its weekly points distributions have ended; Nado’s current rewards status is unconfirmed in our research. Compare current venue access and execution costs, and verify each program’s official terms before treating it as an opportunity.

Points program maturity: this is the key difference

Extended’s official points page, checked October 29, says weekly distributions have ended and a final distribution follows its competition. It reports 69,235,805 points as of October 6. Nado’s current program cadence and conversion are not verified here; neither should be treated as an assured token payout.

Team and infrastructure pedigree

Nado’s standout differentiator is its team: built directly by Kraken’s core engineering team as a flagship application on Ink, Kraken’s own L2. That’s genuine, rare centralized-exchange trading infrastructure pedigree. Extended’s team has ex-Revolut fintech backgrounds — also real, though a different kind of pedigree (consumer fintech versus exchange engineering specifically).

Fees and leverage

Extended offers a notably higher leverage ceiling (100x) than Nado’s more conservative 20x cap, with slightly lower fees on both sides. Nado’s unified margin account (pooling spot, margin, and perps risk in real time) is a genuine capital-efficiency feature Extended doesn’t offer in the same form.

Which points program should you prioritize in 2026?

  • Consider Nado if its trading product fits your needs, after checking current rewards rules and access.
  • Choose Extended if you already have accumulated points from earlier participation, or want higher leverage and slightly lower fees for actual trading rather than farming.
  • Check current rules and costs first. See our farming research for dated evidence and uncertainty.

Decide what you are optimizing before connecting funds: Extended should be checked for its current market coverage and execution conditions, while Nado should be checked for Ink access, fees, and the status of its rewards season. Verify those live details in the Extended review and Nado review, then calculate fees and funding against the points you expect to earn.

What could change this verdict?

This comparison is a dated editorial snapshot, not a permanent ranking. Recheck the current fee schedule, market depth, supported markets, access rules, reward mechanics, and withdrawal path before acting. A new token launch, liquidity change, program rule, jurisdiction restriction, security incident, or fee update can change the practical choice even if the matchup headline stays the same.

Frequently asked

Extended says weekly distributions have ended and a final distribution will follow its competition. Check the official rules; a points allocation or token conversion is not guaranteed.

It's built by Kraken's core engineering team, a genuinely rare pedigree among perps DEXs — direct lineage to an established, multi-year centralized exchange's trading infrastructure expertise, not just a claim of "ex-Kraken" individuals.
