Questions traders ask
What is a perp DEX?
A perp DEX is a decentralized exchange for perpetual futures: contracts with no expiry date that let you go long or short with leverage. You trade from your own wallet instead of handing funds to a company. 14 of the biggest ones are ranked live on this page.
Which DEX has the highest perp volume?
Right now it is Hyperliquid, with $7.21B traded in the last 24 hours, about 46% of the volume across the 14 exchanges we track. Variational ($2.31B) and Lighter ($1.80B) follow.
Which DEX is best for perps?
It depends on what you trade and where you live. Compare liquidity (24h volume and open interest), fees, the markets listed and whether the exchange serves your country. Each exchange page shows live data, and our reviews explain fees and risks in plain English.
How often is this data updated?
About every 15 minutes. Volume, open interest and pair counts come from the CoinGecko derivatives API; 30-day trends come from daily volume history. Last update: 2026-10-27 14:25 UTC.
