What Are EIGEN Perpetual Futures?
EIGEN perpetual futures are leveraged derivatives that let traders take long or short positions on EigenLayer (EIGEN) without holding the underlying token.
Long EIGEN Perpetual: Profit when EIGEN price rises.
Short EIGEN Perpetual: Profit when EIGEN price falls.
Unlike traditional futures, EIGEN perpetuals never expire. Instead, they use hourly funding payments exchanged between longs and shorts to keep the contract price aligned with EIGEN’s global spot market value.

EIGEN Perpetual Funding Rate Explained
PowerTrade’s EIGEN funding rate keeps perpetual prices in line with the CoinGecko EIGEN/USDC Index, ensuring fair and transparent pricing.
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 adjustment to ±0.05% to maintain stability.
Funding is applied hourly and only impacts positions open at settlement. Traders who close before the funding timestamp avoid funding fees.

EIGEN/USDC Index Price Methodology
The EIGEN/USDC Index Price represents EigenLayer’s fair market value against USDC, using aggregated spot market data from CoinGecko’s composite feed.
📊 Reference Source: EIGEN (EigenLayer) on CoinGecko
Purpose of the Index
The index ensures that mark prices and liquidation levels reflect the true global market value of EIGEN — not the activity of any single exchange. This design enhances fairness, price integrity, and market stability.
Index Construction
CoinGecko’s composite index aggregates EIGEN/USDC (and equivalent) spot prices from top-tier exchanges and weights each source by:
Trading volume and liquidity depth
Exchange reliability and uptime history
Consistency with the global average
Outlier and stale prices are automatically excluded. PowerTrade uses this validated feed to calculate mark prices and funding rates in real time.
Fallback Mechanism
If CoinGecko’s feed is temporarily unavailable, PowerTrade switches to a pre-market index derived from order book bid/ask data for EIGEN perpetuals. This ensures continuous pricing and fair liquidations during data disruptions.
Mark Price and Liquidation Logic
PowerTrade’s mark price mechanism 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 unnecessary liquidations and ensures price consistency.
PnL Formulas:
Long EIGEN:
PnL = Position Size × (Mark Price – Entry Price)Short EIGEN:
PnL = Position Size × (Entry Price – Mark Price)
Liquidation Trigger:
Account Balance + Unrealized PnL ≤ Maintenance Margin
When liquidation occurs: 1️⃣ All open orders are cancelled. 2️⃣ Positions are closed at market. 3️⃣ The insurance fund and auto-deleveraging (ADL) mechanisms maintain market stability.
