परिचय: With the massive success of Hyperliquid, the perpetual contract decentralized exchange (Perp DEX) sector has entered a phase of intense competition. The क्रिप्टो market experienced significant volatility in 2025, yet the trading volume in this sector surpassed $1.2 trillion.
This article, written by senior researcher Stacy Muur, systematically outlines the 8 most noteworthy Perp DEX projects with active points programs for 2026. It also details practical strategies for low-risk volume generation and airdrop farming using Funding Rate Arbitrage. For investors looking to capture a share of the trillion-dollar derivatives market, this is an invaluable मार्गदर्शक for navigating pitfalls and seizing opportunities.
Full Text Below:This guide covers 8 leading Perp DEXs with active points programs worth farming, along with proven strategies and tools. Ready? Let’s begin.
परिचयSince the advent of Hyperliquid, Perp DEXs have entered their most competitive phase. Trading volume in this sector grew from $647.6 billion in 2023 to over $1.2 trillion in 2025. Even during the market crash on October 10-11, 2025, its share of global perpetual futures trading rose to 26%.

At that time, Hyperliquid accomplished what was considered impossible. They built an exchange that genuinely challenged Binance and captured over 70% of decentralized perpetual trading volume.
However, new Perp DEXs have begun to emerge, with new platforms appearing daily.
But why are we seeing so many onchain perps now? Is it because of Hyperliquid’s massive success?
While this is certainly true, and Perp DEXs have become a lucrative sector, the fundamental reason is: Before 2025, competition among Perp DEXs was primarily focused on technology. It relied on higher-performance L1s, more advanced ZK proof systems, and higher-throughput DA (Data Availability) layers. But in 2025, competition shifted from technology to incentives.
The current state of the industry shows increasing pressure from emerging Perp DEXs offering comparable latency, lower fees, and attractive incentive programs.

Today, Hyperliquid’s market share has fallen to around 20%, with new platforms posing a substantial threat. For example, Variational has attracted attention and users not only through airdrops/points programs but also through its trading loss refunds.
In October 2025, trading volume reached a record $1.2 trillion, nearly double the total of the previous month. This was primarily driven by incentives, namely points programs and airdrops. The sector has become one of the most successful narratives in airdrop farming. Protocols are preparing to distribute millions of dollars in airdrops to bootstrap liquidity and user activity.
This article analyzes various opportunities within the Perp DEX space and highlights practical farming strategies.
8 Perp DEXs to WatchThe main risks associated with Perp DEXs are: some platforms have no intention of issuing tokens at all, and some end up being worthless and not worth the time investment (e.g., those that exist primarily to extract trading fees from users). Therefore, the core question is never “Can I farm it?” but rather “Is it worth farming?”
This section identifies Perp DEXs worth investing time in based on data from DefiLlama as of January 16, 2026, considering trading volume, Open Interest (OI), user growth, and fee economics.
1. Paradex V2Paradex is a privacy-focused Perp DEX built on Starknet’s first appchain. It offers zero trading fees, deep liquidity covering hundreds of crypto assets and pre-IPO assets, atomic settlement, and institutional-grade privacy features through a mobile-optimized interface.

Author | Dingdang ( @XiaMiPP ) In the eighteen years following Bitcoin’s birth, the “four-year cycle” theory became almost the cornerstone of belief in the cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin halvings, supply contraction, price increases, and altcoin seasons—this narrative not only explains multiple bull and bear market cycles in history but also profoundly influences investors’ position management, project fundraising pace, and even the entire industry’s understanding of “time.” However, after the halving in April 2024, Bitcoin only rose from $60,000 to its all-time high of $126,000, a much smaller increase than in previous halvings. Altcoins were even weaker, and macro liquidity and policy variables became more sensitive anchors for the market. Especially after the large-scale entry of spot ETFs, institutional funds, and traditional financial instruments, one question has been repeatedly discussed: Does… # विश्लेषण# एयरड्रॉप# क्रिप्टो# डेफी# इथेरियम# एक्सचेंज# गाइड# मार्केट# टोकन# टूल© 版权声明सरणी 上一篇 1inch Team Accused of Dumping, On-Chain Data Reveals Sophisticated Swing Trading Strategies in Large Positions 下一篇 24H Hot Cryptocurrencies and Key News|Fed Keeps Interest Rates Unchanged; Spot Gold Approaches $5600 (January 29) 相关文章 जब प्रौद्योगिकी विदेशी मुद्रा बाधाओं से टकराती है: स्टेबलकॉइन की वृद्धि पारंपरिक बाधाओं को पार करने में क्यों मुश्किल है? 6086cf14eb90bc67ca4fc62b 25,825 3 Of the potential $8 billion DeFi disaster, only $100 million has already been triggered. 6086cf14eb90bc67ca4fc62b 15,781 BitMart Insights: November Crypto Market Review and Hot Topic Analysis 6086cf14eb90bc67ca4fc62b 15,132 1 Bybit released its Cryptocurrency Adoption Index report, showing that the Asia-Pacific region is accelerating the adoption of cryptocurrencies. 6086cf14eb90bc67ca4fc62b 15,080 1 Base strongly supports it, and Binance adds more investment!
