PERPTools, an AI-native perpetuals trading platform built by the team behind DEXTools, has raised $8 million across two token funding rounds. A $3 million pre-seed at a $30 million fully diluted valuation was led by DEXTools Ventures and Orderly Network, followed by a $5 million seed round at an $80 million valuation with backing from BigBrain Holdings, NEAR, Animoca Brands, Sfermion, and Shima Capital. The platform is built on Orderly Network’s omnichain liquidity engine and already has three live products in production: a Perp DEX, an AI Arena for autonomous trading agents, and Tap Prediction, a real-time prediction market. Beta volume has reached $240 million before the token even exists. PERPTools is targeting its Token Generation Event in Q4 2026.
