Frequently Asked Questions
What are Polymarket Perps?
Polymarket Perps are perpetual contracts on assets such as SP500, BTC, GOLD, and NAS100. They trade continuously without expiry and use public market data for prices, funding, and open interest.
Where does this page get its data?
Live prices, funding, and trading activity come from the public Polymarket Perps API. TVL, deposits, withdrawals, and funded-wallet growth come from public Polygon settlement events and the pUSD token balance held by the Perps exchange contract.
How is a new funded wallet counted?
A wallet is counted on the date of its first-ever pUSD deposit into the Perps exchange contract. A funded wallet has received collateral but has not necessarily traded.
What are funding rate and APR?
Funding is the periodic payment between longs and shorts. We show the current interval rate and an estimated annualized APR based on each market's funding interval.
What is basis on a Perps market?
Basis is the gap between mark price and index price. It is shown in basis points (bps), indicating whether the perpetual contract trades at a premium or discount to the index.
