What is Perpetuals Trading:
Perpetuals, perpetual swaps, or perps — short for perpetual futures contracts, are derivatives for trading the underlying asset with no expiration date.
It was first pioneered by BitMEX, it has become an important pillar in the cryptocurrency market. It allows users to trade on margin (trade using borrowed funds) and be capital efficient, i.e. rather than needing the capital to trade a large notional value of the underlying asset (say, 10,000 BTC), users can just deposit a part of the notional in the margin, leveraging their capital.
Users trade by predicting the future price of assets. Users trade on possible downtrend or uptrend which are SHORT and LONG respectively. A big new innovation in the DeFi ecosystem.
Nice project
