==== Contract Specifications ====
Futures contracts are standardized agreements to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price on a specific date. Key elements include expiry dates, margin requirements, and settlement methods. For instance, [[Perpetual Futures]] do not have an expiry date, unlike [[Quarterly Futures]] which settle every three months.
Futures contracts are agreements to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date. Key elements include:
 
• **Expiry**: The date when the contract settles. Quarterly futures expire every three months, while perpetual futures have no expiry.
• **Margin**: The collateral required to open a position. Initial and maintenance margins vary by exchange.
• **Settlement**: Most crypto futures are cash-settled, meaning profits or losses are paid in the quote currency (e.g., USD or USDT).


==== Perpetual vs Quarterly Futures ====
==== Perpetual vs Quarterly Futures ====
[[Perpetual Futures]] are designed to mimic the spot market, using a [[Funding Rate Mechanism]] to keep the contract price close to the spot price. [[Quarterly Futures]], on the other hand, have fixed expiry dates and often exhibit higher volatility as the expiry approaches.
• **Perpetual Futures**: No expiry date; traders can hold positions indefinitely. These contracts use a [[Funding Rate Mechanism]] to anchor prices close to the spot market.
• **Quarterly Futures**: Expire every three months. These are ideal for hedging or trading specific market events.

The [[Funding Rate]] is a periodic payment between long and short positions to maintain the contract price close to the spot price. It is calculated based on the difference between the futures price and the spot price, and is typically paid every 8 hours.

Liquidation occurs when a trader's margin balance falls below the maintenance margin level. The [[Liquidation Price]] depends on the leverage used, the position size, and the margin mode (cross or isolated). Proper understanding of this can prevent unexpected losses.
