Products

Overview

Products are the financial instruments available for trading within the exchange. Each product represents a distinct market with specific trading rules and risk parameters. At launch, Ethereal will offer only perpetual futures contracts, which serve as the foundation for all trading activity on the platform.

Product Configuration

Perpetual futures are derivative contracts that track underlying asset prices without expiration dates. Key specifications include contract size, minimum tick size, maximum leverage ratios, and funding rate mechanisms that align contract prices with spot markets. Each contract defines margin requirements, position limits, and liquidation parameters for risk management.

Product configuration is mostly smart contract driven. All smart contract product and product related configuration updates emit an event, an offchain indexer consumes this event and propagates changes downstream.

You can query for product details directly in the smart contracts or through the API.
