PerpTools – How DEXTools Is Building the Full DeFi Trading Stack

Perp Tools launches AI trading agents, shared DEX liquidity, and gamified onboarding—beta live with strong traction.

Key Takeaways

Beta live with strong traction: rolled out 3–4 weeks ago, ~40–50k users, 20k free AI agent claims; trading agents launch next week with ~20% monthly backtests.
Architecture uses Orderly/Audley shared order book across DEXs to pool liquidity, avoiding massive standalone LP capital and supporting low-latency ambitions (quant to detail specifics).
Roadmap includes staged AI agent rollout (100→1,000+), copy trading, rule-based automation, vaults, prediction markets, tournaments, new chains and AI-enhanced tools.
Perpetuals via Perp Tools: permissionless, capital-efficient margin trading (up to 100x); emphasizes stop-losses and risk management since DEXs lack custody and centralized support.
Distribution & UX: integration inside the DEXTools ecosystem provides immediate user distribution, charting, and execution, but DEXs need better UI, education, and customer support.
Gamification & token plan: Season one awards one million points weekly with badges and community incentives; token launch targeted in six to eight months, possibly this year.
