Overview & Vision
Explore Extended documentation for perpetual trading, Vault deposits, XVS yield, USDC lending, Xpoints, referrals, competitions, APIs and protocol architecture.
Extended Overview
Extended is a perpetuals-focused trading platform designed to combine high-performance execution with self-custodied, verifiable infrastructure. The product spans crypto and real-world-asset markets and is expanding toward a broader unified-margin model that brings trading, collateral and lending into one account.
What Sets Extended Apart
The core product direction combines perpetuals, spot, cross-asset collateral and a native lending layer. USDC is the base settlement asset, while XVS represents a claim on the Community Vault and can contribute to trading collateral. This design lets the Vault and the trading account work together rather than as isolated products.
Infrastructure Evolution
Extended is moving its settlement network from Starknet to Arc as part of its next infrastructure phase. The protocol continues to emphasise self-custody, transparent risk checks and high-throughput execution while preparing for a broader financial-market stack.
Progress so far
The documentation covers the live trading terminal, portfolio and account operations, the Community Vault, native money market, referral and builder programs, Xpoints, competitions and developer resources.
