Extended

- + Up to 100x leverage on major crypto pairs, among the highest available on Starknet
CONS
- − Restricted in the US, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Syria — VPN usage prohibited per Terms of Use
- − TVL and liquidity lower than leading perp DEXes like Hyperliquid, meaning less depth for large positions
- − Starknet L2 has lower adoption than Ethereum L1 or Solana — fewer integrated dApps and wallets
