Extended Airdrop Timeline
About Extended
Extended is a perpetual futures exchange built by a team from Revolut. Its CEO, Ruslan Fakhrutdinov, ran crypto operations there, and the company raised $6.5 million in 2024 under its earlier name, X10, from backers including Tioga Capital, Semantic Ventures, Cherry Ventures, StarkWare and Cyber Fund. It lists crypto and real world asset perps, including stocks, ETFs and pre-IPO companies, on an order book that any market maker can fill through its open RFQ system.
On 22 October 2026 Extended moved its settlement from Starknet to Circle's Arc, carrying about $120 million in deposits and every open position across without stopping trading. Spot trading followed on Arc on 30 October, and spot balances count as collateral for perps.
The XTEN airdrop
XTEN has a fixed supply of 1 billion. 300 million XTEN, 30% of supply, goes to eligible participants in the Extended Points programme, fully unlocked at TGE, and there is nothing to pay. Points were capped at 70 million in total. To receive XTEN you sign the Community Distribution Terms in the Extended app during a signing window that Extended will announce; anything not accepted by the close of the window goes to its Ecosystem fund.
Founders, team and investors hold 50% and nothing of theirs unlocks before month 12. A further 15% is a finite reserve for staking rewards and 5% is an Ecosystem fund. At TGE about 32.9% of supply is unlocked, but Extended says free float will be at most the 30% the community claims. Extended says the TGE is in November 2026; the exact date and claim window will be announced separately.
Project Fundamentals
How to Qualify for the Extended Airdrop
Check your Points
Your balance is at app.extended.exchange/points. Points came from qualifying trading, liquidity, referrals and contributions such as product testing. Extended's docs say weekly distributions have ended, with a final distribution after The Final Arc competition.
Use a self-custodial wallet
XTEN goes to the wallet your Extended account was created with. Exchange deposit addresses and other custodial addresses cannot receive it. You can send your whole allocation to another self-custodial wallet with an active Extended account instead, but that choice cannot be undone.
Sign the Terms when the window opens
Claiming happens only in the Extended app. Sign before TGE and XTEN arrives before it starts trading; sign later and it arrives on a rolling basis. Allocations not accepted by the close of the window are forfeited to the Ecosystem fund.
Decide whether to stake
Staking goes live at TGE, with League tiers from 500 XTEN. Your tier sets a trading fee discount of 5% to 30%, a multiplier on the Vault's extra yield and a higher Vault deposit cap. Rewards come from a fixed reserve, and unstaking takes seven days, during which XTEN cannot be moved or earn.
Why this Airdrop Matters
- A confirmed 30% of supply goes to the community, fully unlocked at TGE, which is a large share by perp DEX standards.
- No founder, team or investor tokens unlock for 12 months, so early supply is the community's own.
- It is a working exchange: about $120 million in deposits moved to Arc in October with trading uninterrupted.
- XTEN is the first third-party token on Arc with native CCTP, so it can move to other CCTP chains without a bridge.
Important Note
- New activity is unlikely to earn XTEN. Extended's docs say weekly Points distributions have ended. Trading now does not add to a confirmed airdrop.
- The date is not set. Extended says November 2026 but has not published the TGE date or signing window. It says its announcements are not an offer to claim.
- Region limits apply. Eligibility excludes restricted regions in Extended's Terms, including the US and UK. EU users can claim, hold and stake XTEN, but XTEN spot trading will not be available to them on Extended at launch.
- Part of the airdrop went to Extended's own desk. 17,384,355 XTEN of the 300 million is attributable to Points earned by its internal market-making desk, owned by X10 Ltd. Extended says some will support XTEN liquidity and the rest goes to the Ecosystem fund.
- Expect fake claim sites. Claims happen only in the Extended app, and you never need to pay to receive XTEN.

Extended Airdrop FAQ
How do I qualify for the Extended airdrop?
Follow the 4 steps in the guide above: 1. Check your Points, 2. Use a self-custodial wallet, 3. Sign the Terms when the window opens and 4. Decide whether to stake. Extended runs on Arc.
When is the Extended snapshot and token launch (TGE)?
From the timeline above: XTEN TGE (November 2026, upcoming). Dates the project has not announced are marked as such, and the page is updated when they are.
Is the Extended airdrop free, or do I need to pay gas fees?
It depends on the steps. Sign-ups and off-chain tasks usually cost nothing, while deposits, trades and other on-chain transactions cost network gas and put any capital you commit at risk. The guide above shows which steps involve what. Our difficulty rating for it is medium.
Is the Extended token and airdrop confirmed?
Yes. Extended has confirmed its token and airdrop. What was usable at claim: fully unlocked (Community airdrop of 300,000,000 XTEN, fully unlocked at TGE). The notes above cover what is still to be announced.
How do I claim my Extended airdrop tokens?
Only claim through links from its website and its official X account, which are listed on this page. Never share a seed phrase or sign a transaction you do not understand: fake claim sites appear around every token launch.
