Summary - Extended CIS AMA
Extended Team
@lttlanna joined Extended as the 9th team member and the first person who was not ex-Revolut. The team grew from 8 people (all from Revolut) to 14 people (now), including 10 from Revolut and 4 from outside. Anya is responsible for the exchange’s growth, onboarding affiliates, traders, and market makers, as well as product features (XVS, points program, affiliate program).
Three key advantages of Extended
1. Team and communication - timely help for users and no downtime, the community can easily and quickly resolve any issue.
2. Unique features - XVS for example, where your liquidity can work twice;
3. Principles - no hidden deals, equal conditions for all users.
What % will be allocated to the drop?
Extended is ориентируется on the 30% benchmark set by Hyperliquid, as well as examples of other Perps that distributed similar percentages in their drop.
Top 3 Extended metrics
Extended shows organic growth. The main metrics for the team are volume, open interest, and TVL (200M). TVL on Extended is the most reliable metric, since it is harder to fake, unlike volume on other exchanges.
Market Makers
The platform has integrated ~20 MM firms without payouts or retainers. Among them are two large companies, one of which is in the top 3 on Binance.
Why doesn’t Extended believe in 0 Fees?
This does not work very well for your future token. And when, on the contrary, you do not charge retail and charge MMs, it becomes very hard for market makers to exist. For example, many MMs have recently become uncomfortable quoting on Lighter after the fee increase for MMs.
Nearest upcoming updates:
1. Cross-asset collateral support and Spot (beginning of Q2 2026) - deposits in WBTC, WETH, USDT, EURC and later others.
2. Partnership with a large and well-known fintech to expand the TradFi markets offering. This partnership will make it possible to list any TradFi asset with Tier 1 liquidity > Hyperliquid liquidity.
How many seasons will the Points program have?
There will be two seasons, the first one will be bigger than the second and will end approximately at the end of H1 2026.
TGE and Token
• TGE date: end of H1 / beginning of H2 2026 (depends on released features, treasury, and market conditions);
• Support strategy: buybacks, conservative approach to the points program, sybil filtering;
• Revenue will be disclosed closer to TGE (as Hyperliquid did, so as not to attract speculators).
Fun fact
Recently there was the Paradex TGE with a strong token drawdown.
Extended’s treasury would allow it to fully buy out their entire supply and buy back the token’s drop)
Top regions
Main users: Europe, CIS, China, Poland, France, and others.
Market vision - insight!
European regulation is tightening. Asian exchanges (Binance, Bybit for example) most likely still will not receive licenses, their place will be taken by European fintechs with perp products, and this is exactly a big opportunity for Extended.
Growth strategy (3 verticals):
1. Crypto-native users - acquisition through features (XVS);
2. TradFi markets - huge potential through European fintechs;
3. Retail - through B2B partnerships, not directly.
Main problems of DEX vs CEX or why some traders stay on CEX:
1. On/off ramping - requires KYC;
2. Narrow product offering - solved through cross-asset collateral and unified margin.
What are Extended’s plans for token support?
For the Extended team, buyback is one of the main token support mechanisms.
The Extended team is very meticulous about the points program and understands who their main top points holders are.
Why doesn’t DefiLlama track all Extended metrics?
DefiLlama shows reliable data on Extended, but not all of it, only the taker side. CoinGecko is more accurate (shows both sides of the volume).
