BasePerp Emerges as the Leading Perpetual DEX for Base Chain

The decentralized exchange (DEX) landscape is experiencing a shift, with perpetual DEXs taking center stage in 2025. Major players like Aster, Lighter, Hyperliquid, and EdgeX are driving significant trading volume on-chain, outperforming traditional exchanges in activity and liquidity. Perpetual DEXs now account for over 40% of the total trading volume as recorded by DefiLlama analysis, according to recent data. This growth is a testament to the efficiency and potential of this innovative trading approach. BasePerp, the first perpetual DEX built specifically for the Base ecosystem, has emerged as a frontrunner in this space.
