Extended Airdrop Details

Extended has said around 30% of the future EXT supply is set aside for its early community, meaning the users holding points from the ongoing program. The conversion rate, final eligibility rules and claim process are unpublished, and the official documentation describes points as program units with no guaranteed entitlement to tokens.

Season 1 started on April 29, 2025 with up to 1.2 million points paid out every Tuesday at 00:00 UTC, following 4.3 million Early Participation points in February and April 2025. The weekly ceiling has since dropped to 600,000 as the program closes in on its 70 million cap. Extended also removes points linked to wash trading, self-referrals and multi-account abuse, so what counts is the total left after slashing.

Extended’s docs listed 67,225,227 points distributed as of September 8, 2026, leaving under 3 million before the program reaches its cap.

How to Participate in the Extended Airdrop

Step 1: Connect Your Wallet to Extended

Open the Extended app and connect an EVM or Starknet wallet. EVM users never touch Starknet directly, since deposits and withdrawals run through the networks listed below.

Step 2: Get USDC Ready to Deposit

USDC funds everything on Extended, from trading collateral to vault deposits. Buy it on Bybit and withdraw to a supported network, or if your capital already sits on another chain, shift it across with the widget below.

Step 3: Deposit Into Your Extended Account

EVM wallets deposit and withdraw USDC on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon, Avalanche and BNB Chain. Starknet wallet users deposit from Starknet. wBTC, ETH and USDT work on some of those networks too, but USDC has the widest coverage.

Step 4: Trade the Perpetual Markets

Trading is the largest of the three points categories. Extended does not publish the exact formula, but volume, consistency and genuine order flow all feed into it. Thinner markets usually return more points per dollar traded than the crowded majors, which holds across most perp DEX points programs.

Step 5: Deposit USDC Into the Extended Vault

Vault deposits count as liquidity provision and earn points alongside yield. Mechanics worth knowing before you commit capital:

Minimum deposit is $5, and each deposit carries its own 24 hour lockup
XVS contributes 90% of its value to your equity and available trading balance
XVS cannot currently be withdrawn from the exchange, only moved between sub-accounts
Keep vault deposits in a separate sub-account if you do not want trading losses touching them

Step 6: Unlock Your Referral Link

After $10,000 in traded volume you can generate a referral link and earn 10% of the fees your invitees pay, while they get a 10% commission discount on their first $50 million of volume. Users with 4,000+ followers or $10 million in referred volume over 30 days can apply for the affiliate tier and its boosted points.

Step 7: Check Your Points Every Tuesday

Distributions land weekly at 00:00 UTC, and your balance and full history sit on the points page inside the app. Checking it weekly shows what actually earned and leaves room to adjust before the program ends.

Latest Update: Extended Launches RWA Trading Competition

Extended is running a two week RWA trading competition from September 15, 2026 at 00:00 UTC until September 29, 2026 at 00:00 UTC, with a $50,000 USDC prize pool split across 100 traders. Only RWA markets count toward the leaderboard.

Trade RWA Markets During the Competition Window

Trade RWA perpetual markets on Extended between the two dates listed above.
Keep positions open rather than closing quickly, since open interest is time weighted across the full period and time spent flat drags the average down.
Favor taker fills where possible, as maker fills count at 50% toward weighted volume.

Scoring: Score = PnL × the fourth root of (Weighted Volume × OI). A negative PnL scores zero.

Rewards: $8,000 for first place, $5,000 for second, $3,000 for third, scaling down to $150 each for ranks 61 to 100.

Accounts with elevated API rate limits are excluded, along with accounts Extended considers institutional or market making. Full rules are on the competition page.

Frequently Asked Questions

When Will the Extended Airdrop Happen?

Extended has not announced a TGE date. The team has said the EXT token launch is expected shortly after the points program finishes, and the program is already close to its 70 million point cap, so the window is narrowing.

Is the Extended Airdrop Confirmed?

Extended has publicly committed around 30% of EXT supply to its early community of points holders. Final eligibility, individual allocations and the points to token conversion rate have not been published, and holding points alone does not guarantee a claim.

Do I Need to Invest Money to Earn Extended Points?

Yes. Every category depends on capital: trading needs margin, vault rewards need a USDC deposit, and referral earnings only unlock after $10,000 in personal volume. There is no free quest or social task route.

How Many Points Are Distributed Each Week?

Extended caps weekly distributions at 600,000 points across all users, down from the 1.2 million ceiling at the start of Season 1. Distributions run every Tuesday at 00:00 UTC, and hitting the maximum in a given week is not guaranteed.

Can Extended Take Away Points I Already Earned?

Yes. Program rules allow points to be withheld, reduced or cancelled where activity involves wash trading, artificial volume, coordinated referrals, multiple account manipulation or bots. The team applied slashing ahead of the token event.

Conclusion

Extended is a late stage farm. Most of the 70 million point budget is already out, the weekly ceiling has been halved, and the EXT launch is expected soon after the program wraps, so there is less waiting here than with programs that just opened.

What is Extended?

Extended is a decentralized perpetuals exchange built on Starknet, offering 100+ markets spanning crypto, equities, FX, commodities, and indices, with leverage up to 100x. The platform implements a hybrid Central Limit Order Book (CLOB) model that processes orders and matches trades off-chain while settling transactions on-chain through Starknet’s zk-enabled infrastructure. An app-specific chain for decentralized sequencing is currently in development.

This architecture enables Extended to deliver high-performance trading with reduced gas fees while maintaining security through Starknet’s infrastructure. Their hybrid approach optimizes for both speed and cost-efficiency, addressing common pain points in DeFi trading.

Extended was built by a team with backgrounds at Revolut and has secured $19 million in funding from investors including Cyber Fund, Semantic Ventures, and StarkWare.
