PerpTools, developed by the team behind DEXTools, integrates perpetual futures trading into the DEXTools ecosystem, expanding its decentralized finance platform with on-chain trading tools, analytics, and planned automation features.
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.
