According to ChainCatcher, Extended — a perpetual contracts DEX developed by former Revolut team members — has published updated results for its points program. The project removed 5,038,989 points generated through inorganic or manipulative activity, including cross-account volume pumping, self-referral abuse, Sybil wallet clusters, and coordinated multi-account behavior. Cross-account volume pumping refers to users running multiple accounts to inflate trading volumes, while self-referral abuse means recommending oneself to farm bonus points. The adjustment covers 4,017 affected accounts and 35 identified Sybil operations, which the program treats as prohibited conduct. After the cleanup, the total points supply stands at 64,673,031 as of August 10, 2026. Those excluded points were transferred back into the program budget, meaning legitimate participants can earn them later. Extended also confirmed the program's overall distribution cap remains at 70 million points. All changes were applied under quantitative rules written into the program terms. ChainCatcher published the update on August 11, 2026.

Those removed points went back into the program budget, so real participants can still earn them. And the overall allocation cap stays the same: 70 million.

The review focused on cross-account volume pumping, self-referral abuse, Sybil wallet clusters, and coordinated multi-account activity. Extended said the changes were made using quantitative rules laid out in the points program terms.
