📘 What Are Perpetual Futures (Perps)?
If you've only traded spot, Perps might sound complex — but they're actually simple.
You can use Perps to:
✅ Go long or short
✅ Use leverage
✅ Trade without owning the actual token
Let’s break it down 👇
⚖️ Spot vs Futures vs Perps
• Spot: Buy and hold the real token
• Futures: Bet on price (up/down) — has an expiry
• Perps: Like futures, but no expiry — hold as long as you want
🔧 How Do Perps Work?
• Go Long 📈 if you think price will rise
• Go Short 📉 if you expect a drop
• Use leverage (e.g. 10x → $100 becomes $1,000)
⚠️ But: Higher risk = higher reward & loss
💸 What’s the Funding Rate?
A small fee between traders:
• More longs → longs pay shorts
• More shorts → shorts pay longs
This keeps Perp prices close to real market prices
💡 Why Use Perps?
• Hedge your spot holdings
• Profit on falling prices
• Trade big with a small balance
• Catch quick market moves (scalping)
