What Are AVAX Perpetual Futures?

AVAX perpetual futures are leveraged derivatives that allow traders to take long or short positions on Avalanche (AVAX) price movements — without owning the token directly.

• Long AVAX Perpetual: Profit when AVAX price rises.

• Short AVAX Perpetual: Profit when AVAX price falls.

Unlike traditional futures, AVAX perpetuals never expire. Instead, they rely on funding payments exchanged between longs and shorts to keep prices aligned with AVAX’s spot market.

AVAX Perpetual Funding Rate Explained

PowerTrade’s AVAX funding rate keeps perpetual prices in line with AVAX’s spot price using real-time benchmark data from CoinGecko.

Funding Rate Formula:

F = P + clamp(I – P, +0.05%, –0.05%)

Where:

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

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

• Clamp: Restricts rate movement to ±0.05% to maintain balance and prevent funding spikes.

Funding is applied hourly and only impacts positions open at settlement. Positions closed before the funding timestamp avoid funding fees.

AVAX/USDC Index Price Methodology

The AVAX/USDC Index reflects Avalanche’s fair market value against USDC, derived from aggregated spot market data across multiple exchanges through CoinGecko’s composite feed.

📊 Reference Source: Avalanche (AVAX) on CoinGecko

Purpose of the Index

The index ensures that mark prices and liquidation levels for AVAX perpetuals reflect the true global market price — not price movements on a single venue. This protects traders and promotes market transparency and fairness.

Index Construction

CoinGecko’s index aggregates AVAX/USDC (and equivalent) spot prices from major exchanges, weighted by:

• 24-hour trading volume and liquidity depth

• Data consistency versus the global average

• Exchange reliability and uptime

Outlier and stale data points are automatically excluded to maintain accuracy. PowerTrade integrates this validated CoinGecko feed to establish fair mark and index prices.

Fallback Mechanism

If CoinGecko’s data feed is unavailable, PowerTrade automatically switches to an internal pre-market index, derived from bid/ask data in the AVAX perpetual order book. This ensures continuous pricing and accurate liquidation thresholds, even during data outages.

Mark Price and Liquidation Logic

PowerTrade’s mark price mechanism ensures fair, transparent, and stable PnL and liquidation calculations.

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

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

• This mechanism prevents unnecessary liquidations and ensures fair price alignment.

PnL Formulas:

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

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

Liquidation Trigger: Account Balance + Unrealized PnL ≤ Maintenance Margin

When liquidation occurs:

1. All open orders are canceled.

2. Positions are closed at market price.

3. The insurance fund and auto-deleveraging (ADL) mechanisms maintain fairness and platform stability.
