DEXTools offers a suite of analytics tools and a dashboard for on-chain DEX activity and Web3 data to support both professional and retail traders. The team is building PerpTools, an integrated perpetual-futures DEX that extends DEXTools' analytics into on-chain derivatives with features like AI-driven analysis, integrated execution, copy trading, rule-based automation and prediction-market integration. PerpTools completed a private beta that recorded $150 million in trading volume and aims to attract up to 30 million users. The company raised a $3 million seed round led by DEXForce and Orderly to fund PerpTools' mainnet launch, planned for the end of Q2 2026, and to support product rollouts such as PERP token rewards and premium analytics. DEXTools intends to leverage its existing dashboard ecosystem to provide users advantages like reduced fees, premium insights and trading bots as part of the new offering.

PerpTools extends the widely used DEXTools decentralized exchange analytics suite by adding native perpetual futures trading directly inside the DEXTools interface. Built on the Orderly liquidity layer, the platform gives DEXTools’ more than 30 million active users access to shared on-chain liquidity and perpetual derivatives markets without leaving the existing environment. It functions as a tooling and infrastructure layer rather than an independent protocol, combining analytics, trading execution, and forthcoming automation features. Future upgrades include advanced analytics and automated trading strategies tied to an upcoming PERP token that will provide incentives, rewards, and governance utilities. Internally, the team tracks metrics such as active traders, connected wallets, executed trades, API calls, and strategy usage to monitor engagement. By integrating perpetuals with its established analytics stack, PerpTools aims to broaden DeFi traders’ capabilities while maintaining the security and transparency of on-chain execution.
