PerpTools, an on-chain perpetual futures
trading platform, has been introduced by the creators of DEXTools, an analytics
suite for decentralised exchanges. The platform was developed following a $3
million seed funding round led by DEXForce and Orderly and is built on the
Orderly liquidity layer. PerpTools is integrated directly within the DEXTools
environment, allowing users to access perpetual futures trading without needing
additional tools or separate accounts.
According to the company, the DEXTools
platform has more than 30 million active users. Through the integration of
PerpTools, these users will be able to trade perpetual futures within the same
interface, without switching services. The addition expands the DEXTools
ecosystem, which already includes analytics tools, AI-driven features, and
prediction markets, and now adds perpetual trading functionality.
The company tracks activity across the
platform using internal analytics tools, monitoring indicators such as active
traders, connected wallets, executed trades, API calls, and strategy usage.
Javier Palomino Fernández, CEO &
co-founder of DEXTools, explained:
We built DEXTools to give traders
unparalleled insight into on-chain data and activity. With PerpTools, we’re
extending that mission to the futures market, delivering a secure,
community-driven, and seamless experience for all users.
Built by the DEXTools team, PerpTools
extends an ecosystem already widely used by traders in decentralised finance.
By combining analytics tools with the liquidity infrastructure provided by
Orderly, the platform is intended to broaden the range of trading services
available within the DEXTools environment and support the development of
decentralised derivatives markets.
Rather than operating as a standalone
on-chain protocol, PerpTools functions as a tooling and infrastructure layer.
Running on the Orderly liquidity network, the platform provides access to
shared liquidity and on-chain transparency while enabling trading through
integrated tools.
Future development plans include the
introduction of advanced analytics and automated trading strategies connected
to the upcoming PERP token, which is intended to support incentives, rewards,
and governance functions.
