Decentralized Perpetuals

Definition

Decentralized perpetuals are perpetual futures contracts traded on a decentralized exchange, allowing users to speculate on asset prices without an expiration date. These instruments derive their value from an underlying asset, typically cryptocurrency, and utilize funding rates to keep their price near the spot market. They provide leverage and continuous trading opportunities in a non-custodial environment. This financial tool enables sophisticated trading strategies within DeFi.
