Sovryn Perpetuals are perpetual futures contracts that use a novel type of highly capital-efficient AMM. Sovryn Perpetuals will enable you to go leveraged long and short on different assets. We’re starting with a BTC/USD perpetual, with margin in BTC, and we’ll be adding more products going forward.
Sovryn Perpetual Futures are classic perpetual futures from a trader perspective, with the difference that they are traded in DeFi using an Automated Market Maker (AMM). Sovryn Perpetuals enable you to hedge or leverage your BTC, and use your BTC to gain exposure to other assets while only ever having to transact in BTC. Our AMM enables us to offer virtually any other asset as a perpetual futures contract.
The AMM design is based on derivative pricing theory and this results in trades being most profitable if they reduce the AMM risk. As a consequence, we can offer some of the lowest trading fees and spreads found in DeFi for a classic Perpetual Future.
- Traders who want to trade long and short using leverage in DeFi.
- Bitcoin traders who want to access non-custodial, fully decentralized perpetuals trading.
- Bitcoin bulls who want to profit from leveraged short-term price surges.
- Bitcoin holders who want to lock-in their Bitcoin price instead of selling Bitcoin, and at the same time earn a funding fee.
- Holders of locked tokens that want to hedge their exposure against crypto-market drawdowns.
- Liquidity Providers who want to hedge impermanent loss.
No, We are using BNB Smart Chain for our Perpetual Futures Contracts. Unfortunately, Perps are not yet viable on RSK. Rollups will eventually enable us to move Perpetual Futures to RSK.
Competition start date is Tuesday 12th July and end date is Tuesday 19th July.
The instrument traded is BTC/USD collateralized in BTC.
The competition takes place on BNB Smartchain mainnet. Sovryn provides a user interface to bridge BTC from RSK to BNB Smartchain and back:
RSK to BSC: (or vice versa): click "RSK transfer" button
BTC to BSC: click "BTC Deposit" button
BSC to BTC: click "BTC withdraw" button
Gas fees on BNB Smartchain are paid in BNB tokens. However, with Sovryn Perpetual Futures, gas fees can be paid in BTC. Gas fees have no influence on the competition ranking.
The competition ranking is determined in terms of realized, relative P&L.
Specifically, the P&L is calculated as follows
X := Cumulative sum of transfer amount from perp to trader address
Y := Running max of -X
With every transfer T to or from the trader’s margin account, we update X <- X + T and Y <- max(Y, -X)
%PnL = X / Y
If the there is an open position, the PnL above is approximated via %PnL (approximated) = (X + margin balance) / Y
Because of the way the P&L is calculated, it is advisable to close open positions before the competition ends
Measuring relative P&L allows wallets with smaller funds to be able to compete with larger wallets.
At the end of the competition, the relevant trader ranking is the one displayed in the leaderboard
The total prize money is 0.5 BTC plus a share of the profit/loss that the AMM incurs during the time of competition. The prize money will be paid to the competitor’s wallet in RBTC a few days after the competition ends.
The total prize money is paid to the top 3 traders and distributed in relation to their P&L. For example, if the top 3 traders achieved a P&L of 200%, 100%, 15%, the best trader receives 0.31 BTC (200/(200+100+15) * 0.5 BTC).
