DEX Screener for Spot and Perpetual Data: What It Can and Cannot Cover

DEX Screener tracks onchain pairs across many chains. Spot means onchain pools there; perpetual futures on centralised exchanges are outside its scope.

Short answer

DEX Screener indexes onchain DEX pairs (its docs say data comes from its own chain indexers), with pair prices, liquidity, FDV, transactions, makers, profiles, boosts and trending. It does not cover centralised-exchange order books, perpetual funding, open interest or liquidations. Use it for onchain spot discovery and monitoring; use a derivatives terminal such as ChartsPod for perpetual markets on Binance, Bybit, OKX and Hyperliquid.
