Perps Contract Specifications & Fees

Market parameter transparency is essential for serious derivatives usage. Emofi publishes contract and fee definitions so users and integrators can model execution, risk, and expected cost before capital is deployed.

Contract Specification Scope

Each perpetual market can include parameters such as:

  • market symbol and quote denomination,

  • minimum order size and increment rules,

  • price tick granularity,

  • leverage limits,

  • initial margin requirements,

  • maintenance margin requirements,

  • funding schedule and reference logic,

  • optional market-level exposure constraints.

These values affect both execution behavior and survival characteristics under volatility.

Fee Model Components

Typical fee categories may include:

  • maker fees for liquidity-adding flow,

  • taker fees for liquidity-removing flow,

  • liquidation-associated penalties where applicable,

  • incentive or rebate programs where defined.

Why Fee Modeling Matters

In leveraged environments, cost layers can compound quickly. Users should evaluate:

  • expected turnover cost for active strategies,

  • net outcome after funding + fees,

  • and downside effects under forced reductions.

Gross directional pnl is not sufficient for strategy assessment; net trade economics are what matter.

Parameter Evolution

Contract settings and fee schedules may evolve with governance updates, liquidity maturation, and risk policy changes. Always verify live values in the official interface before placing trades.
