Extended (formerly X10): How to Join the Weekly Points Distribution and Key Risks

Published: 2026-08-04Extended (X10)Extended Trading Liquidity Points

What's happening

Extended (formerly X10) is a self-custody perpetual DEX on Starknet that lets users trade both crypto and TradFi assets (equities, RWAs, etc.) from a single margin account. No TGE (token launch) has occurred yet, but a weekly points distribution of 600,000 points every Tuesday at 00:00 UTC is ongoing, with the first drop taking place on July 7, 2026. Total funding raised stands at roughly $19,000,000, with backers including StarkWare, Jump Crypto, and eToro.

What you need to do

Connect a wallet or email at extended.exchange to create a free account.
Earn points through trading, spot LP provision, or referrals (600,000 points distributed every Tuesday at 00:00 UTC).
Check your progress via the Points API or the leaderboard.
Follow the official X account (@extendedapp) for the latest updates.

Active trading on newly listed assets such as GRVT or SpaceX Pre-IPO may also count toward points, though the exact accrual rate has not been disclosed.

Past seasons and distribution history

The weekly points program is currently the only confirmed active initiative. The first distribution (600,000 points) occurred on July 7, 2026, and the same amount has been distributed weekly since. No official season structure (e.g., Season 1, Season 2) has been announced, and the total points distributed, token conversion ratio, and claim deadline remain undisclosed.

Things to watch out for

On July 14, 2026, the Discord server was hacked, and a fake post claiming "$EXT claims are now open" spread. The team regained control the same day and warned that any claim page outside the official website is malicious. Be cautious if similar posts appear again.
Points are non-transferable, and the team has explicitly stated that "there is currently no guaranteed value attached to any future token." No airdrop or its conditions have been confirmed.
Security documentation only mentions that "an independent audit exists," without naming the auditor or disclosing when it was conducted, making it hard to verify the security posture.
Trading with up to 100x leverage is high-risk and can lead to significant capital loss.
Trading RWA assets like SpaceX Pre-IPO may be subject to regional regulatory restrictions.
