# Perpetual Future Trading Platform

## **Futures trading platform, fully decentralised.**

We are revolutionizing the way normal users trade, eliminating the intermediary of a CEX. We combine cutting-edge technology with blockchain, and are able to offer a superior trading experience compared to most.

## How does it work?

Users connect their wallet to the dApp and utilise the platform, trade an initial small range of large-cap coins, progressing to a wide variety of altcoins and others. &#x20;

Users will be able to predict the future price of an asset by putting collateral and either long or short the price of that asset. When the position is closed, your profit and loss will be calculated and returned to you with the original collateral +/- any profit or loss made.

{% hint style="warning" %}
*We take a small fee for the closure of a position. Please refer to* [*<mark style="color:green;">here</mark>*](#undefined) *for the fee structure.*
{% endhint %}

Users will be able to borrow up to 10x leverage upon initial launch, slowly increasing to 125x over time for true degeneracy.
