Overview

Perpetual futures are a type of derivative contract that allows traders to speculate on the price movement of an asset without an expiration date. On Saros DEX, perpetual futures are fully on-chain, ensuring transparency, security, and efficiency in trading.

How Perpetual Futures Work

Unlike traditional futures contracts, perpetual futures do not expire, meaning traders can hold their positions indefinitely. When entering a perpetual futures contract on Saros DEX, traders agree to settle the price difference of an asset from the time they open the contract until they close it.

  • All settlements are done in cash, streamlining the profit and loss realization process.

  • Traders can adjust their positions anytime to respond to market movements.

USDC Perpetual Futures Contracts

  • Collateral: All perpetual futures contracts on Saros Perpetual are collateralized in USDC.

  • Quoted and Settled in USDC: The pricing, settlement, and profits or losses from trades are quoted and settled in USDC. This simplifies the process by using a stablecoin for all transactions, ensuring price stability for collateral and settlements.

Cross-Margin

  • Saros Perpetual offers only cross-margin mode. This means that the USDC collateral you deposit will be shared across all your open positions.

  • Margin Calculation: The available margin will be pooled together and used to calculate the margin ratio for all positions, providing flexibility in managing multiple trades.

Leverage

Perpetual futures allow traders to use leverage, meaning they can control larger positions with a smaller capital investment. This amplifies both potential gains and losses, making risk management essential.

Risk Note: Leverage increases exposure, and losses can exceed the initial investment if the market moves against a trader’s position.

Since perpetual futures do not expire, they provide traders with greater flexibility. However, positions require active management to account for market fluctuations.

  • Traders must monitor funding rates and price movements regularly.

  • Unlike traditional futures, there is no need to roll over contracts—positions can be held as long as needed.

  • On-Chain Security & Transparency – All transactions are recorded on the blockchain.

  • Flexible Trading Strategy – No fixed contract durations, allowing long-term and short-term trading.

  • Leverage for Greater Exposure – Trade with more capital than what is initially deposited.

  • Efficient Cash Settlements – No physical delivery, making transactions straightforward.

Whether you are hedging risks or speculating on price movements, Saros DEX Perpetual Futures offer a powerful and flexible trading tool to navigate the market effectively.
