What Are AERO Perpetual Futures?

AERO perpetual futures are derivatives that allow traders to go long or short on Aerodrome Finance (AERO) price movements — without ever holding the underlying token.

• Long AERO Perpetual: Profit when AERO price rises.

• Short AERO Perpetual: Profit when AERO price declines.

Unlike dated futures, perpetual contracts have no expiration date. Instead, they rely on funding payments exchanged between longs and shorts to keep contract prices aligned with AERO’s spot market value.

AERO Perpetual Funding Rate Explained

The PowerTrade AERO funding rate ensures that the perpetual contract price remains aligned with the AERO/USDC index price derived from CoinGecko.

Funding Rate Formula:

F = P + clamp(I – P, +0.05%, –0.05%)

Where:

• P (Premium Index): Difference between market and index price.

• I (Interest Rate): 0.01% per 8 hours (prorated hourly).

• Clamp: Restricts adjustment to ±0.05% to prevent funding spikes.

Funding is applied hourly, and only open positions at settlement are affected. Traders who close positions before the funding timestamp pay no funding fees.

AEROUSDC Index Price Methodology

The AERO/USDC Index reflects the fair market value of Aerodrome Finance against USDC, based on aggregated spot market data from CoinGecko.

📊 Reference Source: AERO on CoinGecko

Purpose of the Index

The index price acts as the reference price for AERO perpetual contracts — ensuring mark prices and liquidation levels mirror the true global market value of AERO, independent of local exchange activity.

This protects traders against price manipulation and ensures fair and transparent contract pricing.

Calculation

PowerTrade sources real-time AERO/USDC data from CoinGecko’s composite market feed. CoinGecko’s index aggregates spot prices from leading exchanges, filtering out unreliable or stale quotes to produce a consistent benchmark.

The final AERO Index Price represents the weighted average market value across trusted global markets and is updated every second.

Fallback Mechanism

If CoinGecko’s feed becomes temporarily unavailable, PowerTrade uses a pre-market index calculated from bid/ask prices in the AERO perpetual order book. This guarantees continuous pricing and protects open positions during data interruptions.

Mark Price and Liquidation Logic

To ensure fairness and transparency, PowerTrade uses a mark price that smooths short-term volatility:

Mark Price = Index Price + EMA(Market Price – Index Price)

• The EMA (Exponential Moving Average) is calculated over 15 seconds.

• This reduces unnecessary liquidations and ensures mark pricing reflects true market value.

PnL Calculations:

• Long AERO Position: PnL = Position Size × (Mark Price – Entry Price)

• Short AERO Position: PnL = Position Size × (Entry Price – Mark Price)

Liquidations occur when: Account Balance + Unrealized PnL ≤ Maintenance Margin

When liquidation is triggered:

1. Open orders are canceled.

2. Positions are closed at market.

3. The insurance fund and ADL mechanisms protect counterparties and maintain system stability.
