Introducing the American Innovation Exchange, the first U.S. derivatives exchange designed for trading the AI economy. Trade futures and options on compute, metals, energy, and other critical instruments in the AI supply chain. Coming soon from Architect.
The old way to save was built for storage.
We think it should be more active, more social and worth sharing.
One $9,000 depositor won $1,000 in a matter of few weeks.
Architect’s traditional asset perpetuals exchange just crossed $1 billion notional traded since launch, $783 million in the last month, $77 million in the last 24 hours

Multi-Asset Collateral is now live on Extended
From today, wBTC and ETH are accepted as collateral alongside USDC and XVS (Extended yield-bearing collateral). EURC and USDT are coming soon.
How it works
The system operates on a native money market, with the vault acting as the primary lender. When trading losses push your USDC balance negative and that deficit is covered by non-stablecoin collateral, you are borrowing USDC.
Borrowing rates depend on two factors: overall vault utilisation and utilisation against each specific collateral asset. For example, if demand to borrow USDC against ETH is lower than against BTC, borrowing against ETH will be cheaper.
When a user holds multiple collateral assets, borrowing is automatically allocated starting with the lowest-rate asset and moving upward, minimising the effective cost with no manual input required. We are not aware of this being implemented anywhere else in DeFi.
Example. User is down $175K on a perp and borrowing $175K USDC against a mixed book:
$50K USDT @ 1% - $500
$50K ETH @ 5% - $2,500
$75K BTC @ 10% - $7,500
Total annualised interest: $10,500. Effective rate: ~6%. Borrowing the same amount entirely against BTC would cost $17,500 annually, or 67% more.
What this means for Extended Vault
The vault is the primary lender for the entire system. All interest paid by USDC borrowers flows to vault depositors as Extra Yield, on top of the trading fees already distributed.
This creates a second, structurally independent yield stream for XVS holders. The vault earns by serving as the backbone of the margin system.
Tokenized stocks and ETFs are now live on Felix
On-chain traders no longer have to off-ramp funds to gain exposure to US capital markets. Additionally, Felix users now have the ability to trade tokenized stocks/ETFs in large order sizes without the steep execution costs that have plagued on-chain adoption up until now (Example: Buy $1M in GOOGL on Felix with a net execution cost less than 10bps today).

Extended was among the first perp DEXs to launch commodities and index perps in Spring 2025.
The next step is equities.
Extended is launching its first six equity perpetual pairs. Equity perps have not yet truly scaled onchain for one reason: liquidity. Extended is building to solve it - with further updates to follow.

I’m very happy to announce @Architect_Fi's $35M strategic Series A to accelerate the growth of AX, the financial industry’s first centralized and regulated exchange for trading perpetual futures on traditional assets.
As we have seen over the years, crypto perps are incredibly powerful and have seen significant growth; bringing them to traditional markets, in a centralized venue under a comprehensive regulatory regime, will meaningfully upgrade the trading experience.
