Perpetual Assets

GTE offers a range of perpetual futures contracts for trading. These perpetual assets provide traders with leveraged exposure to various cryptocurrencies without the need to own the underlying asset. For more details on how our order book works, see our Order Book Protocol documentation.

​

Pricing Mechanisms

Perpetual contracts on GTE utilize two primary pricing mechanisms:

• Mark Price: Some perpetual contracts rely on trusted oracle feeds to determine the mark price of the underlying asset, ensuring accurate and manipulation-resistant pricing. For more details, see our Price Indexes documentation.
• Native GTE Spot Feeds: Other perpetual contracts derive their pricing directly from GTE’s own spot markets, creating a tight integration between spot and derivatives markets.

​

Collateral Types

Traders can use any of the following assets as collateral for perpetual trading:

• USDC: A widely used stablecoin backed by US dollars
• USDT: One of the most liquid stablecoin options in the market
• capUSD: MegaETH’s native stablecoin

​

Settlement

All closed perpetual positions on GTE are settled in USDT. This means that regardless of which collateral type you use to open positions, your profits or losses will be denominated and settled in USDT when you close your positions.

​

Trading Interface

Perpetual assets are traded through the standard GTE trading interface, which provides the order types and market information necessary for effective derivatives trading.
