### What Are ENA Perpetual Futures?

**ENA perpetual futures** are leveraged derivatives that let traders take **long** or **short** positions on **Ethena (ENA)** without owning the underlying token.

* **Long ENA Perpetual:** Profit when ENA’s price rises.
* **Short ENA Perpetual:** Profit when ENA’s price falls.

Unlike traditional dated futures, **ENA perpetuals never expire**. Instead, they use **hourly funding payments** between long and short traders to maintain price alignment with ENA’s global spot market.

### ENA Perpetual Funding Rate Explained

PowerTrade’s **ENA funding rate** ensures perpetual prices remain aligned with the **ENA/USDC Index**, derived from [**CoinGecko**](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/ethena).

**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 funding changes to ±0.05% to maintain price stability.

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

### ENA/USDC Index Price Methodology

The **ENA/USDC Index Price** represents Ethena’s fair market value against USDC, using **aggregated real-time data** from multiple exchanges through **CoinGecko’s composite feed**.

📊 **Reference Source:** [Ethena (ENA) on CoinGecko](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/ethena)

#### Purpose of the Index

The index serves as the **reference rate** for ENA perpetual contracts, ensuring **mark prices** and **liquidation levels** reflect ENA’s true global market value.\
This prevents manipulation from individual exchanges and guarantees **fair and consistent pricing** for all traders.

#### Index Construction

CoinGecko’s composite index aggregates ENA/USDC (and equivalent) spot prices from multiple major exchanges, weighting each source by:

* 24-hour trading volume and liquidity depth
* Exchange reliability and uptime
* Price stability relative to the global average

Outlier and stale data points are automatically excluded.\
PowerTrade integrates this verified CoinGecko feed to calculate accurate mark prices and funding rates.

#### Fallback Mechanism

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

***

### Mark Price and Liquidation Logic

PowerTrade’s **mark price** mechanism smooths volatility and ensures fair and accurate PnL and liquidation outcomes:

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

* The **EMA (Exponential Moving Average)**, calculated over 15 seconds, filters short-term noise and stabilizes prices.
* This minimizes unfair liquidations and ensures consistent mark-to-market pricing.

**PnL Formulas:**

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

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

When triggered:\
1️⃣ Open orders are canceled.\
2️⃣ Positions close at market.\
3️⃣ The **insurance fund** and **auto-deleveraging (ADL)** systems protect other traders and ensure platform stability.
