Frequently Asked Questions
What are perpetual futures?
Perpetual futures (perps) are derivative contracts that let you speculate on price movements with leverage, without an expiry date. Unlike futures, they use a funding rate mechanism to keep prices anchored to spot.
Is leverage trading on Cardano available now?
Cardano's perpetuals ecosystem is in early stages. Strike Finance is building this capability. Check their official channels for current availability and supported markets.
What are the risks of trading perpetuals?
Leveraged trading amplifies both gains and losses. With 10x leverage, a 10% adverse price move wipes out your entire position. Perpetuals are high-risk instruments suitable only for experienced traders.
