• Perpetual swap normally settles 3 times a day with a period of 8 hours, during this period it can avoid repeated opening steps due to delivery;
• Perpetual swap will collect the funding from the long / short position user and return it to the short / long position user according to the positive / negative of the funding rate;
• Spot transaction is the buying and selling process of tokens. Perpetual swap has no physical delivery, no trading time limit and can open and close positions at any time, but the risk rate of the account needs to be monitored in real time to avoid forced liquidation.
