DEXTools Expands DeFi Offering with PerpTools, Targeting Derivatives Market
DEXTools, long recognized as a leading platform for on-chain token analytics, is making a strategic push into the perpetual futures market with its new PerpTools vertical. The move comes as decentralized exchange volumes surge from $81 billion to $740 billion over two years, with derivatives emerging as a key battleground for dominance.
PerpTools eliminates the cold-start problem faced by most new perp DEXs by leveraging DEXTools' existing user base of millions. Early metrics are striking: 40,000 users and $150 million in traded volume within weeks of beta launch. The platform builds on Orderly's shared order book infrastructure, delivering sub-200ms latency and up to 100x leverage in a permissionless, self-custodial package.
The roadmap hints at more disruptive features. AI trading agents—back-tested for 20% monthly returns—are being rolled out to top community members, with copy trading and vault strategies in development. This positions DEXTools not just as an analytics provider, but as a full-stack DeFi trading solution.
