Extended, a decentralized perpetuals exchange, has initiated its migration from StarkEx to Starknet. This move brings key benefits for users through native account abstraction and a simplified trading experience. EVM users can continue using their existing wallets for transactions while settling on Starknet, enhancing liquidity and accessibility within DeFi applications. The three-stage migration process began August 12, 2025, with a focus on preserving trading history and user points. This innovative approach to blockchain interoperability allows near-instant deposits and withdrawals without the need for separate Starknet wallets. Financial ecosystems may experience shifts as trading traffic flows to Starknet, potentially impacting market dynamics. Starknet’s adoption is seen by some industry observers as an indicator of its growing presence in the DeFi landscape.
