Perp DEX review
A hybrid CLOB from an ex-Revolut team, live on Starknet — sub-10ms off-chain matching with on-chain settlement, EVM-friendly deposits, up to 100x leverage.
Quick answer
Extended uses an off-chain matching engine with on-chain settlement on Starknet. That hybrid design aims for fast order matching while keeping settlement verifiable onchain. Its EVM-friendly deposits can reduce wallet setup friction. Confirm the current architecture before trading. Source: Extended official site, 2026.

Extended’s current points page confirms weekly distributions capped at 600,000 and reports 69,235,805 total points as of October 6, 2026. It does not confirm a token allocation, conversion, date, or entitlement. Treat late farming as dilution-sensitive and do not trade solely for points.

Use cost before reward. Calculate activity cost first; points can be delayed, diluted, slashed, or worth zero.
Extended uses an off-chain matching engine with on-chain settlement on Starknet. That hybrid design aims for fast order matching while keeping settlement verifiable onchain. Its EVM-friendly deposits can reduce wallet setup friction. Confirm the current architecture before trading.
Use Extended for perpetuals on crypto and selected traditional-finance markets. Its off-chain matching layer may reduce the execution friction of a fully on-chain order book. Check the exact market, leverage, and settlement rules first.
Reported fees run around 0.025% taker / 0% maker, with daily maker rebates up to roughly 2 basis points based on 30-day maker-share thresholds. No deposit or withdrawal fees on Extended’s own side, though bridging from an EVM chain may carry its own separate bridge fee — factor that in when comparing all-in cost to a platform native to the chain you’re funding from.
Extended has built a genuine reputation specifically around its hybrid CLOB performance and its Starknet migration, positioning itself as a “hyper-performant perp DEX.” It’s a comparatively newer platform relative to multi-year-established venues, and the recent infrastructure migration means less time running on its current Starknet-based architecture specifically than its overall project history might suggest.
The current official Points Program says distributions are weekly, capped at 600,000 points per week, and totaled 69,235,805 points as of October 6, 2026. Qualifying activity can include trading, liquidity, referrals, product testing, bug reports, and structured feedback. The same page says points may be considered in a future token distribution, but do not create an entitlement, conversion ratio, claim date, or token value. Do not increase leverage or deposits solely for points.
Extended explicitly lists wash trading, self-referrals, multiple-account manipulation, bots, and other abuse as grounds for reductions or cancellation. The regular referral program requires $10,000 personal volume and pays 2.5% of referred points; the separate affiliate program has different eligibility and rebate terms. See our pre-TGE farming roundup and airdrop farming guide for the risk framework.
Beyond leverage risk, the off-chain matching layer is a separate trust surface from the on-chain settlement layer. The recent migration also means the current Starknet deployment has a shorter track record than the project overall. Evaluate the current deployment, not only the earlier StarkEx history.
Current information comes from Extended’s public documentation, its migration announcement, and independent coverage of its architecture and fee structure. Independent audit coverage for Extended’s contracts on either its former StarkEx or current Starknet deployment was not verified here. Check current fees, audit status, and market availability directly on the platform before trading.
Frequently asked
No — Extended's EVM-friendly design lets EVM users deposit and withdraw without a separate Starknet setup, despite settling on Starknet under the hood. That's a deliberate UX choice to remove the usual friction of a less mainstream L2.
The move (completed August 2025) shifted Extended from StarkEx's more specialized rollup infrastructure to Starknet's general-purpose zk-rollup — trading some of StarkEx's narrower optimization for Starknet's broader ecosystem and ongoing development. Verify current architecture details directly, since this kind of infrastructure migration can carry its own transition risk.
