### What Are BONK Perpetual Futures?

**BONK perpetual futures** are leveraged derivatives that allow traders to go **long** or **short** on **Bonk (BONK)** without holding the token directly.

* **Long BONK Perpetual:** Profit when BONK price rises.
* **Short BONK Perpetual:** Profit when BONK price falls.

Unlike traditional dated futures, **BONK perpetuals never expire**. Instead, they use **hourly funding payments** exchanged between long and short traders to keep prices aligned with BONK’s global spot market.

### BONK Perpetual Funding Rate Explained

PowerTrade’s **BONK funding rate** ensures perpetual contract prices stay in line with the **BONK/USDC Index**, derived from [**CoinGecko**](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/bonk).

**Funding Rate Formula:**

```
F = P + clamp(I – P, +0.05%, –0.05%)
```

Where:

* **P (Premium Index):** Difference between the perpetual price and index price.
* **I (Interest Rate):** 0.01% per 8 hours (applied hourly).
* **Clamp:** Restricts funding rate changes within ±0.05% to maintain balance.

Funding is applied **hourly**, only to positions open at settlement.\
Positions closed before funding time **do not pay** funding fees.

### BONK/USDC Index Price Methodology

The **BONK/USDC Index Price** represents Bonk’s fair global market value against USDC, using **aggregated real-time spot prices** from **CoinGecko’s composite exchange feed**.

📊 **Reference Source:** [Bonk (BONK) on CoinGecko](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/bonk)

#### Purpose of the Index

The index ensures **mark prices** and **liquidation levels** reflect global BONK market averages, not the volatility of a single venue.\
This approach protects traders from manipulation and ensures fair pricing across all PowerTrade perpetual markets.

#### Index Construction

CoinGecko’s BONK index aggregates BONK/USDC (or equivalent) spot prices from top-tier exchanges, weighting each source by:

* 24-hour trading volume and liquidity depth
* Exchange reliability and uptime
* Price consistency vs. global average

Stale or outlier prices are automatically excluded.\
PowerTrade uses this verified feed to derive its **mark price** and **funding rate calculations**.

#### Fallback Mechanism

If CoinGecko’s feed becomes unavailable, PowerTrade automatically switches to an **internal pre-market index** derived from **BONK perpetual order book bid/ask data**.\
This ensures continuous mark pricing and fair liquidation even during data interruptions.

***

### Mark Price and Liquidation Logic

PowerTrade’s **mark price mechanism** smooths short-term volatility to ensure fair and accurate PnL and liquidation calculations.

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

* The **EMA (Exponential Moving Average)** over a 15-second window filters short-term price noise.
* This minimizes unnecessary liquidations during volatile trading conditions.

**PnL Formulas:**

* **Long BONK:** `PnL = Position Size × (Mark Price – Entry Price)`
* **Short BONK:** `PnL = Position Size × (Entry Price – Mark Price)`

**Liquidation Trigger:**\
`Account Balance + Unrealized PnL ≤ Maintenance Margin`

When triggered:

1. All open orders are canceled.
2. Positions are closed at market.
3. PowerTrade’s **insurance fund** and **auto-deleveraging (ADL)** systems ensure market stability.
