Understanding the Funding Rate Mechanism
The funding rate is a critical component of perpetual contracts, designed to keep the contract price aligned with the spot index price.
It is calculated as: Clamp(MA([(Contract Best Bid + Contract Best Ask) / 2 – Spot Index Price] / Spot Index Price – Interest), -0.75%, 0.75%), where Interest is 0.
A special note for the initial launch period: To ensure fairness during the phase of potentially high premium volatility, a temporary funding rate cap is in effect. The maximum funding rate for calculations before 00:00 (UTC+8) on December 12, 2023, is 0.03%. After this time, the predictive funding rate cap will return to the standard 1.50%. The first actual funding fee collection will occur at 16:00 (UTC+8) on December 12, 2023.
All other trading rules, including limit order parameters, align with the standard USDT-margined perpetual contract offerings. For a comprehensive understanding, please refer to the perpetual contract explanation documentation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a perpetual contract?
A perpetual contract is a derivative product that allows you to speculate on an asset's future price without an expiry date. It uses a funding rate mechanism to tether its price to the underlying spot market, enabling continuous trading similar to a spot market but with leverage.
How does margin trading work with RON?
Margin trading enables you to borrow funds to open a larger position than your account balance would allow. For RON/USDT, you can use USDT as collateral to borrow RON (for long positions) or use RON as collateral to borrow USDT (for short positions). This amplifies both potential profits and losses.
What is Simple Earn and how can I participate?
Simple Earn is a product that allows you to earn interest on your idle crypto assets. You can subscribe your RON or USDT to the product and earn rewards over time. The specific APY and subscription limits are detailed within the product interface on the platform.
What are the risks involved with using leverage?
Leverage magnifies your exposure to market movements. While it can increase profits, it also significantly increases the risk of substantial losses, potentially exceeding your initial investment. It is essential to employ robust risk management strategies, including stop-loss orders, when using leverage.
Why was there a temporary funding rate cap?
Newly listed perpetual contracts can experience high volatility and premium instability immediately after launch. The temporary cap of 0.03% was implemented to prevent an unfairly high funding rate from being charged to traders during this initial settling period, ensuring a more balanced market launch.
Where can I learn more about trading these products?
The platform provides extensive educational resources and documentation. You can review the perpetual contract guide, margin trading handbook, and Simple Earn FAQ for detailed instructions and advanced strategies.
