Layer 2 Perpetual Futures
Perpetual futures on networks built to scale other blockchains, including Arbitrum, Optimism and Polygon, which scale Ethereum, and Stacks, which brings smart contracts to Bitcoin. Each contract follows the network's token and settles in USDT.

Layer-2 networks run on top of a base blockchain, processing transactions away from the main chain and relying on it for security or settlement. Ethereum rollups such as Arbitrum and Optimism bundle many transactions and post the data back to Ethereum, which lowers fees while keeping much of its security. Other projects bring smart contracts to Bitcoin. Layer-2 tokens are commonly used for governance, and some also pay fees or are staked.
Prices tend to follow activity on the network, competition between layer-2s, token unlock schedules and the health of the base chain they extend. Trading them as USDT-settled perpetuals means taking a position on the token's price, not using the network.
A perpetual future is a contract that tracks the price of an asset and never expires. You can go long, profiting if the price rises, or short, profiting if it falls, without owning the asset itself.
You post margin and choose your leverage. Leverage multiplies both gains and losses: at 10x, a 1% move in the price is a 10% change in your margin. If losses use up the margin, the position is liquidated.
Frequently asked questions
A layer-2 is a network built on top of a base blockchain to make transactions faster and cheaper. It handles transactions itself and relies on the base chain, such as Ethereum or Bitcoin, for security or final settlement.
A rollup executes transactions off the main chain, then posts them back to it in batches. Optimistic rollups such as Arbitrum and Optimism treat batches as valid unless someone challenges them within a dispute window.
No. Transaction fees on Arbitrum and Optimism are paid in ETH, while ARB and OP are governance tokens. Their prices are therefore not directly tied to the fees the networks collect.
Yes. Stacks is one example: it adds smart contracts and applications to Bitcoin, which does not support them natively in the same way Ethereum does.
No. There is no KYC and no sign-up form. You connect a wallet and sign a message to log in — self-custody wallet sign-in, with no password — then deposit USDT to start trading.
A perpetual future is a contract that tracks the price of an asset and never expires. You can go long, profiting if the price rises, or short, profiting if it falls, without owning the asset itself.
There are 75 perpetual futures markets, across crypto, gold and oil, all settled in USDT with cross margin.
No. A perpetual has no expiry date, so you can hold a position for as long as your margin covers it.
Maker orders pay 0.02% and taker orders 0.06% of the order value, on every market.
Yes. Every market is open 24/7, including gold and oil.
