A derivatives venue with an agent layer
PERPTools combines a self-custodial perpetual-futures exchange with AI Arena, where users configure and deploy trading agents without writing code. Product documentation describes market and limit orders, cross or isolated margin, and execution through Orderly Network’s shared liquidity layer.
The company also operates Tap Prediction, a separate live feature for short price-direction calls using platform points. The funding report identifies BigBrain Holdings, NEAR, Animoca Brands, Sfermion and Shima Capital among the seed backers.

Dealroom reported the $5 million seed on September 30, 2026, alongside an $80 million valuation. It describes the seed as following an earlier pre-seed round; $8 million is the cumulative funding across both rounds.
