Funding Rate

The funding rate is used to balance the long and short positions on the platform, protecting ALPs from excessive risk exposure during trading and minimizing the holding risk of the pool.

Calculation formula:

Funding Rate = (Net Floating PnL of Longs or Shorts) ÷ (Total Funds in Long + Short Pool) × 0.01
  • If both sides show positive PnL, both long & short pay funding.

  • Funding Fee = Position Size × Funding Rate

If both sides are positive, both long and short positions will be charged the funding rate. The funding fee that users need to pay = the position amount held * funding rate This fee is charged every 60 minutes.

Liquidation

Formula for Liquidation Distance:

Distance = Entry Price × (Initial Margin − Total Fees) × Liquidation Rate ÷ (Position Size × Leverage)

Liquidation Price:

  • Long: Entry Price − Distance

  • Short: Entry Price + Distance

Total Fees: opening/closing fees, funding fees.

Leverage is the leverage multiplier chosen by the user.

Slippage (PendulumAMM Mechanism)

Only applied when net long or short imbalance exceeds 70% of the liquidity pool capacity.

Formulas:

Long Slippage = (User Long + (Net Long−Short − 70% of pool)) ÷ Total Long × 0.02 Short Slippage = (User Short + (Net Short−Long − 70% of pool)) ÷ Total Short × 0.02

Net position difference between long and short positions = Total amount of long positions - Total amount of short positions or Net position difference between long and short positions = Total amount of short positions - Total amount of long positions

Opening slippage is only charged when the "net position difference between long and short positions" is greater than 0.
