What Are EGLD Perpetual Futures?

EGLD perpetual futures are leveraged derivatives that let traders go long or short on MultiversX (EGLD) without owning the underlying asset.

• Long EGLD Perpetual: Profit when EGLD price rises.

• Short EGLD Perpetual: Profit when EGLD price falls.

Unlike traditional dated futures, EGLD perpetuals never expire. They use hourly funding payments between long and short traders to keep contract prices aligned with the spot EGLD market.

EGLD Perpetual Funding Rate Explained

PowerTrade’s EGLD funding rate keeps perpetual prices aligned with the EGLD/USDC Index derived from CoinGecko.

Funding Rate Formula:

F = P + clamp(I – P, +0.05%, –0.05%)

Where:

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

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

• Clamp: Limits adjustments to ±0.05% to maintain stability.

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

EGLD/USDC Index Price Methodology

The EGLD/USDC Index Price reflects MultiversX’s fair market value against USDC, using aggregated spot data from CoinGecko’s composite feed.

📊 Reference Source: MultiversX (EGLD) on CoinGecko

Purpose of the Index

The index ensures that mark prices and liquidation levels mirror the true global EGLD market, not price fluctuations from a single venue. This enhances fairness, transparency, and price integrity across the platform.

Index Construction

CoinGecko’s composite index aggregates EGLD/USDC (and equivalent) spot prices from multiple qualified exchanges and weights them by:

• Trading volume and liquidity depth

• Data reliability and uptime

• Price consistency with the global average

Outlier and stale data points are automatically excluded. PowerTrade uses this validated feed to calculate mark prices and funding rates in real time.

Fallback Mechanism

If CoinGecko’s feed becomes temporarily unavailable, PowerTrade switches to an internal pre-market index using order-book bid/ask data from EGLD perpetuals. This ensures continuous pricing and fair liquidations during data disruptions.

Mark Price and Liquidation Logic

PowerTrade’s mark price smooths volatility and ensures fair PnL and liquidation logic:

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 reduces liquidation risk and improves price stability.

PnL Formulas:

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

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

Liquidation Trigger: Account Balance + Unrealized PnL ≤ Maintenance Margin

When liquidation occurs: 1️⃣ All open orders are canceled. 2️⃣ Positions are closed at market. 3️⃣ The insurance fund and auto-deleveraging (ADL) system maintain market integrity.
