Perps

Perpetuals Trading Powered by dYdX

Perpetuals (often called Perps) are derivative instruments that mirror the price of real assets — allowing users to go long or short with leverage on the price movement of an asset. While leverage amplifies potential gains, it also increases risk.

To bring decentralized perpetual trading directly to its users, THORWallet has partnered with dYdX, one of the leading decentralized perpetual protocols in the industry.

💼 What Are Perpetual Contracts?

Unlike traditional futures, perpetual contracts have no expiry date. This means traders can hold positions for as long as they wish, adjusting leverage or closing trades anytime. They are ideal for:

  • Speculative trading on price movements

  • Hedging existing crypto portfolios

  • Executing advanced strategies without spot exposure
