Extended Airdrop
About Extended
Extended is a decentralized perpetuals exchange built on StarkEx, offering more than 30 leveraged trading markets with up to 50x leverage. It uses a hybrid Central Limit Order Book model, where order processing and trade matching occur off-chain and settlement happens on-chain via StarkEx Layer 2. This setup is designed to deliver high-performance trading with lower gas fees, while still relying on StarkEx’s infrastructure to maintain security and reliability for DeFi traders.
Why we choose Extended?
We picked Extended because it applies a hybrid CLOB architecture to tackle common DeFi challenges such as high gas costs and slower execution. By combining off-chain order matching with on-chain settlement on StarkEx, it aims to optimize speed and cost-efficiency without sacrificing security. The project is live on both StarkEx and Starknet, with an active points program and new features like Extended Vault Shares (XVS), highlighting ongoing development and user-focused incentives.
