A Decentralized Perpetual Exchange is a non-custodial trading platform operating on a blockchain that enables users to trade perpetual futures contracts without an intermediary. This system provides continuous trading exposure to an underlying asset through synthetic instruments. Its core function is to facilitate leveraged derivatives trading in a censorship-resistant manner.
Mechanism
The exchange leverages smart contracts for all critical operations, including order matching, collateral management, and liquidation processes, removing the necessity for a central clearinghouse. Liquidity is frequently sourced from automated market makers (AMMs) or supplied by liquidity providers into shared pools. Users can open leveraged positions using stablecoins or other digital assets as collateral.
Methodology
The architectural design prioritizes transparency, self-custody of assets, and resistance to censorship, typically integrating decentralized oracle networks for reliable price feeds. Risk management protocols include dynamic funding rates to ensure contract prices remain anchored to spot markets. Robust liquidation engines are also crucial for maintaining system solvency during periods of significant market volatility.
