NFEX Perpetual FAQ

1. What is an NFT perpetual contract on NFEX?

An NFT perpetual contract is a financial instrument that enables traders to take a short or long position on the floor price of NFTs, using a fraction of ETH as collateral. For further information on NFT perpetuals, please refer to our documentation at https://nfex.gitbook.io/docs.

2. What is my leverage?

The maximum leverage available to users is 50x. However, if a user chooses not to fully leverage their positions, their effective leverage could be lower. EffectiveLeverage=PositionNotionalValueAccountEquityEffective Leverage =\frac{Position Notional Value}{Account Equity}

3. What is cross-margin mode?

Cross-margin mode is a feature that allows users to open multiple positions using the same collateral. NFEX only allows cross-margin mode to ensure the highest capital efficiency for its users.

4. What is the last price? Why is the last price different from the mark price on NFEX ?

The last price is the most recent traded price of a perpetual contract on NFEX. The mark price, on the other hand, is an estimated fair price that considers the reasonable value of an asset to prevent unwarranted liquidations. The reason why the last price might differ from the mark price is because the last price only reflects the most recent transaction, while the mark price is calculated using a formula that incorporates multiple data points such as the Impact Mid, price 1, and price 2. For more information on mark and last price, please refer to our documentation at https://nfex.gitbook.io/docs/nfex-perpetual-guide/mark-price-and-last-price

5. How do you calculate the Index Price?

The NFT index price (NFEXI ) is determined by taking the average price of the floor price and the top bid for a particular NFT collection.

NFEXI=FloorPrice+TopBid2NFEXI=\frac{Floor Price+Top Bid}{2}

Where:

The Floor Price is the lowest floor price of the constituent exchanges.

6. How do you calculate the funding rate?

The funding rate is calculated over the last hour as follows:

7. What is the difference between the liquidation price and the bankruptcy price?

Liquidation price: The liquidation price is the price at which a trader's position is automatically liquidated by NFEX when their account equity falls to the maintenance margin level. This is the point at which the mark price reaches the liquidation price.

Bankruptcy price: The bankruptcy price is the point at which user's account equity is reduced to to 0.

8. What is Auto-deleveraging(ADL)?

When a trader’s position is liquidated, the position is taken over by the liquidation engine. If the liquidation order cannot be filled at the bankruptcy price and the insurance fund runs out, the ADL system automatically deleverages opposing traders’ positions by profit and leverage priority.
