Frequently Asked Questions

What types of futures contracts are supported?
The platform supports perpetual futures (no expiry date) with both linear contracts (settled in stablecoin) and inverse contracts (settled in the base cryptocurrency). Additional contract types can be configured based on your requirements.
What leverage options are available?
Leverage is configurable per trading pair, with support for up to 125x. Users can adjust leverage in real-time and choose between cross margin (shared across positions) and isolated margin (per-position risk).
How does the liquidation engine work?
The liquidation engine monitors all positions continuously. When a position's margin ratio falls below the maintenance requirement, the position is liquidated at the bankruptcy price. An insurance fund covers losses beyond the bankruptcy price, and an auto-deleveraging system handles extreme market conditions.
What is the funding rate mechanism?
Funding rates are calculated every 8 hours to keep perpetual prices aligned with spot markets. Traders pay or receive funding based on their position direction. This creates arbitrage opportunities and ensures price convergence.
Can I set position limits per user?
Yes. You can configure maximum position sizes per symbol, user level, or individual account. This helps manage platform risk exposure and comply with regulatory requirements.
