FAQ

chevron-rightHow are leveraged tokens different than perpetual futures?hashtag

The primary differentiator to perpetual futures is that leveraged tokens maintain their leverage factor within a target range. They achieve this by reactively rebalancing the amount of borrowed funds.

chevron-rightWhy should I use leveraged tokens instead of perpshashtag

In most situations, LTs and perps have similar performance. However, unlike perps, leveraged tokens do not required margin management, are non-liquidating, and maintain a constant leverage factor. For many users, LTs provide a more comfortable way to trade with leverage.

chevron-rightCan leveraged tokens liquidate in extreme cases? hashtag

Yes, in theory, leveraged tokens can face liquidation if the automation layer cannot rebalance a position quickly enough in response to sudden extreme volatility. In the case of a liquidation, the value of a leveraged token would become zero, and a new leveraged token contract would be deployed.

chevron-rightWhy was my ROI lower than I expected it to be? hashtag

Users may encounter a lower than expected return on investment (ROI) due to factors such as time decay (holding LTs for longer periods than normal), volatility decay, and abnormally high funding rates.

chevron-rightCan I trade leveraged tokens on secondary markets? hashtag

Yes, leveraged tokens, being built on the ERC-20 token standard, are tradable on secondary marketplaces. However, this is dependent upon sufficient liquidity in the respective Decentralized Exchange (DEX).
