Perpetuals
Perpetuals offer a way for traders to speculate on the price movements of various assets without physical ownership. These contracts, known as perpetual futures or perpetual swaps, do not have an expiration date, which differentiates them from traditional futures contracts.

Commodity Perpetuals: Targeted at users with an interest in speculating on commodities like gold and oil, minus the challenges of dealing with the physical goods.

Innovations in Parifi Perpetuals
Adaptive Pricing Mechanism: Parifi's real-time adaptive borrowing fee structure is a significant innovation, adjusting fees based on live market conditions. This ensures equitable costs for traders and sustainable compensation for liquidity providers, striking a balance between accessible trading and rewarding liquidity support.
Position Adjustment Capability: Post-entry position adjustment is a standout feature in Parifi, allowing traders to recalibrate leverage, top up margins, or pivot their strategic stance as market conditions evolve. This capability underscores Parifi's commitment to offering a dynamic and trader-centric platform.
Unlimited Positions: Unlike many platforms that restrict the number of concurrent positions a trader can hold, the protocol offers the ability to open an unlimited number of isolated positions. This freedom allows traders to diversify their strategies across multiple markets simultaneously, hedge existing positions, or capitalize on various market scenarios without being constrained by position limits.
