UNI perpetual futures (perps) are derivatives contracts that let you speculate on the price of Uniswap without owning the underlying asset. Unlike traditional futures, perps have no expiry date — you can hold a position indefinitely. You can go long (profit when UNI goes up) or short (profit when UNI goes down), and use leverage to amplify your exposure up to 10x your collateral.
Connect a Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, or Backpack) to ZIPMEX and navigate to the Perpetuals section.
Deposit USDC, USDT, or SOL as collateral into your ZIPMEX perps trading account — no need to sell into USDC first. This is the margin for your positions.
Select UNI/USDC, set your leverage (up to 10x), and choose Long (betting price goes up) or Short (betting price goes down).
Enter your position size, optionally set a stop-loss and take-profit, then submit your order. It executes in seconds on Solana.
Perpetual futures trading involves substantial risk. Leveraged positions can be liquidated if the market moves against you. Never trade with money you can't afford to lose. Start with low leverage and small position sizes.
You can trade UNI perpetual futures with up to 10x leverage on ZIPMEX. However, higher leverage means higher liquidation risk. Most experienced traders use 2-10x leverage.
ZIPMEX's perpetual futures have competitive maker and taker fees. Maker fees are lower than taker fees, incentivizing limit orders. Exact fees are displayed on the trading interface.
Perpetual futures are inherently risky due to leverage. You can lose your entire margin if the market moves against you. Always use stop-losses, start with low leverage, and never trade with money you can't afford to lose.
The funding rate is a periodic payment between long and short traders that keeps the perpetual contract price aligned with the spot price. When the perp trades above spot, longs pay shorts. When it trades below, shorts pay longs. Funding rates are updated regularly.
