What Are ATOM Perpetual Futures?

ATOM perpetual futures are derivative contracts that allow traders to take long or short positions on Cosmos (ATOM) without owning the underlying token.

  • Long ATOM Perpetual: Profit when ATOM price rises.

  • Short ATOM Perpetual: Profit when ATOM price falls.

Unlike dated futures, ATOM perpetuals never expire. Instead, they use funding payments between long and short traders to ensure the contract price tracks ATOM’s global spot market value.

ATOM Perpetual Funding Rate Explained

PowerTrade’s ATOM funding rate keeps perpetual prices aligned with the CoinGecko ATOM/USDC Index, ensuring fair and transparent price tracking.

Funding Rate Formula:

F = P + clamp(I – P, +0.05%, –0.05%)

Where:

  • P (Premium Index): Difference between perpetual and index prices.

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

  • Clamp: Restricts funding movement within ±0.05% to prevent large imbalances.

Funding is applied hourly and affects only open positions at settlement. Traders who close before the funding timestamp avoid funding fees.

ATOM/USDC Index Price Methodology

The ATOM/USDC Index Price reflects Cosmos’s real-time market value against USDC, calculated from aggregated exchange data through CoinGecko’s composite pricing feed.

📊 Reference Source: Cosmos (ATOM) on CoinGecko

Purpose of the Index

The index serves as the reference rate for ATOM perpetual contracts, ensuring mark prices and liquidation levels reflect global market prices — not isolated exchange volatility.

This design maintains pricing integrity, protects traders, and enhances market fairness.

Index Construction

CoinGecko’s composite index aggregates spot ATOM/USDC (and equivalent) prices from major global exchanges. Each exchange’s weight is based on:

  • Trading volume and liquidity depth

  • Historical data reliability and uptime

  • Price stability relative to the global market average

Outlier and stale prices are automatically excluded. PowerTrade integrates this validated feed to deliver fair, manipulation-resistant mark pricing.

Fallback Mechanism

If CoinGecko’s feed becomes unavailable, PowerTrade switches to an internal pre-market index, derived from bid/ask data in the ATOM perpetual order book. This ensures uninterrupted pricing and fair liquidations even during external data disruptions.

Mark Price and Liquidation Logic

PowerTrade’s mark price ensures smooth and fair PnL calculations across all perpetual markets:

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

  • The EMA (Exponential Moving Average), over a 15-second period, smooths volatility.

  • This minimizes unfair liquidations and provides a consistent, transparent pricing reference.

PnL Formulas:

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

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

Liquidation Trigger: Account Balance + Unrealized PnL ≤ Maintenance Margin

When triggered:

  1. Open orders are canceled.

  2. Positions are closed at market.

  3. PowerTrade’s insurance fund and auto-deleveraging (ADL) mechanisms maintain system stability.
