‍
There is also an execution fee detailed below which is used to pay for the blockchain network costs.

Funding fee
Funding rates for each market and collateral asset are determined hourly, taking into account the real-time imbalance of open interest. This dynamic calculation allows for a more accurate reflection of market conditions and helps maintain a balanced trading environment.

Funding fee = (Funding Factor- (Open Interest(short) - Open Interest(long)) /(Open Interest(long) + Open Interest(short))) / (365 * 24)

Execution Fee
There are two transactions involved in opening / closing / editing a position:
User sends the first transaction to request open / close / deposit collateral / withdraw collateralGuardians observe the blockchain for these requests then execute them.

Order Types

DePerp order types are specific instructions that traders give to exchanges to help them buy or sell assets at desired prices and under specific conditions. Understanding and using various order types can help traders execute their strategies more effectively and manage their risk. At the moment, all markets are isolated for the selected collateral.

Buy Market Order
This order type allows you to buy an asset immediately at the best available price. It's executed quickly, ensuring that you don't miss out on a potential opportunity. However, since it's executed at the current market price, you may end up buying at a higher price than anticipated if the market is volatile.

Buy Limit Price Order
With this order type, you can specify the maximum price at which you're willing to buy an asset. Your order will only be executed if the asset's price falls to or below your specified limit. This helps you control the cost of your purchase but may result in your order not being executed if the price doesn't reach your limit.

Stop-limit / Stop-loss

A stop order on a DePerp is a special rule you set to help you trade contracts that don't have an end date. There are two main types: stop-loss orders and stop-limit orders.

Stop-loss
This is like saying, "If the price goes down too much, sell my contract automatically." It helps you avoid losing too much money.

This is like saying, "If the price goes down to a certain point, try to sell my contract, but only if I can get a good price for it." It helps you control how much money you might lose.

To use stop orders, follow these steps:

Choose the contract: Pick the trading pair you want to trade on the DePerp exchange (e.g., BTC/USD).

Set a stop price: Decide the price that will trigger your stop order.

Pick the order type: Choose between stop-loss or stop-limit orders based on how much risk you want to take.

Enter the details: Tell the exchange your stop price, and for stop-limit orders, the minimum price you want to sell for. Also, tell them how many contracts you want to trade.

Watch your order: Keep an eye on the market. If the stop price is reached, your order will happen automatically.

Stop orders help you trade more safely. Be careful when choosing your stop prices and amounts, and always watch the market.

Take Profit / Take Limit Price orders

These are orders that allow you to lock in profits when the market moves in your favor. A Take Profit order is essentially the opposite of a stop-loss order. You set a target price above your entry point (for long positions) or below your entry point (for short positions), and if the market reaches that price, your position will automatically be closed, securing your profit.

To use Take Profit orders, follow these steps:

Choose the contract: Pick the trading pair you want to trade on the Deperp exchange (e.g., BTC/USD).

Set a target price: Decide the price at which you want to close your position and take your profit.

Enter the details: Tell the DePerp your target price and the amount position you want to close at that price.

Watch your order: Keep an eye on the market. If the target price is reached, your order will happen automatically, and your profit will be locked in.
‍

Reduce-only orders

These are orders designed to reduce your position size without increasing it. A reduce-only order can be a limit order or a stop order, but it will only be executed if the trade reduces the size of your existing position. If the execution of the order would result in increasing your position size, the order will not be executed or will be partially filled to the point where your position size remains unchanged or reduced.

Reduce-only orders are particularly useful for risk management, as they allow traders to secure profits and limit losses without accidentally increasing their exposure to the market.

To use Reduce-only orders, follow these steps:

Choose the order type: Select whether you want to create a limit order, stop-loss order, or stop-limit order with the Reduce-only option.

Enter the details: Set the necessary parameters for the chosen order type, such as the price and the number of contracts you want to trade.

Enable the Reduce-only option: Make sure to check the box or toggle the switch for the Reduce-only option when placing your order.

Watch your order: Monitor the market and your order. If the conditions are met, your order will be executed, but only to the extent that it reduces your position size.

By understanding and utilizing Take Profit and Reduce-only orders, you can manage your risk more effectively and enhance your trading strategy.

Governance

DPRP Multi-Dimensional  Governance Token Utility Model (DMD)

The DMD model represents a forward-thinking approach in the world of decentralized finance (DeFi). It's designed to enhance the utility, value, and appeal of the DPRP tokens within its ecosystem. This is achieved through a series of innovative mechanisms and features, each tailored to improve user engagement, market responsiveness, and sustainable growth.

DMD Components:

Platform Growth Linked Buyback (PGLB)

• Mechanism: A certain percentage of the platform's profits is allocated to buy back DPRP tokens from the market.
• Impact: This reduces the available supply, potentially increasing the token's value.
• User Growth Correlation: The rate of buyback is directly tied to user growth metrics. As the platform attracts more users, more tokens are bought back, creating a scarcity that can drive up the token value.

Decentralized Affiliate Program (DAP)

• System: Users are incentivized to refer new traders by earning DPRP tokens.
• Reward Structure: The unique aspect here is the scaling of rewards. A user's reward increases based on the activity level of their referrals. This encourages users to not just refer new traders but to support them in becoming active, long-term platform participants.

Customizable Governance Portals (CGP)

• Utility: Token holders are not just passive investors but active participants in decision-making processes.
• Voting Rights: They can vote on a variety of issues, from fee structures to new market listings and feature developments.
• Community Engagement: This feature fosters a deeper sense of ownership and involvement among token holders, potentially leading to a more vibrant and engaged community.

Token-Linked Savings Accounts (TLSA)

• Offering: Users can lock in their DPRP tokens to earn a share of trading fees.
• Dynamic Fee Structure: The fees earned are variable and depend on the platform's overall performance.
• Periodic Voting: Token holders can collectively decide to adjust these fees in response to changing market conditions, ensuring a balance between competitive pricing and profitability.

Liquidity Vaults Endowment (LVE)

• Function: A part of the platform's token supply is locked in a liquidity vault.
• Market Support: This vault provides essential liquidity to the market, smoothing out price volatility.
• Profit Sharing: Profits generated from this liquidity provision are distributed back to token holders, offering an additional stream of passive income.

Platform Expansion Grants (PEG)

• Purpose: Allocates tokens for grants to developers for building new tools or features.
• Innovation and Growth: This stimulates innovation and diversification of the platform's services, potentially increasing user engagement and token demand.

Token-Backed Warranties (TBW) for Trades

• Concept: Trade warranties backed by DPRP tokens provide compensation for losses due to system failures.
• Trust Enhancement: This feature aims to increase user confidence in the platform, thereby enhancing the perceived value and reliability of the DPRP token.
  
  

Impact and Sustainability

The DMD model is a holistic approach designed to keep the platform competitive and responsive to market changes. By integrating these diverse utilities and incentives, DPRP tokens become a central element of the user experience. This alignment of the token's value with the platform's performance is a strategic move towards encouraging long-term investment and fostering sustainable growth strategies. It's a model that could potentially set a new standard in the DeFi space, demonstrating the power of innovative token utility in driving platform success.
