FAQ
What are derivatives on a decentilized crypto exchange?
Derivatives are financial instruments based on an underlying asset like cryptocurrency. They allow traders to speculate on price movements without owning the asset. Main types on DEXs include futures, perpetual swaps, and options.
How does leverage work on DEX derivatives?
Leverage lets you open positions larger than your capital, for example, 10x. On a DEX, required margin and liquidation levels are automatically enforced by smart contracts.
What is position liquidation on DEX derivatives?
Forced closure of a position by the protocol or smart contracts when margin falls below the required level. It occurs at market price and may lead to additional losses.
What are the advantages of trading derivatives on DEX?
Trading derivatives on a DEX reduces counterparty risk, offers transparency through smart contracts, and allows profit from both rising and falling markets, though tools may be more limited than on a CEX.
What risk management strategies are important when trading on DEX derivatives?
Use stop-losses if the protocol supports them, manage position size carefully, and choose leverage according to your experience. Diversification across positions or assets can help, and for large trades, consider liquidity and potential slippage, since hedging options may be limited or unavailable.
