What is Index Trading?

Index trading is defined as the buying and selling of a specific market index. Traders will speculate on the price of an index rising or falling which determines whether they will be buying (going long) or selling(going short) any assets they want to trade, and the range of traders' asset fluctuations are exactly the same as the range of index volatility. As a trader, what you get, no matter profits and losses, comes from your counterparty, on DIPX, the Liquidity Pool acts as the central counterparty and clearinghouse to all positions settled by Traders.

So far, BTC and ETH Price Indexes are offered to be traded on DIPX, and other Indexes will be expanded soon. On DIPX， any crypto asset is accepted as an eligible margin to trade in any Index.

What is Perpetual Futures Trading?

Futures allow traders to get exposure to a market without owning the underlying asset. In a traditional Futures market, the delivery of underlying assets and Futures contracts are settled on a predetermined future date, instead of directly trading assets (as in a spot market). Trading Futures allows one to profit from an asset's up and downsides. Futures allow for the use of leverage too.

Perpetual Futures contracts allow traders to speculate on the future price of a given asset by buying (going long) or selling (going short) perpetual futures contracts. Unlike typical futures, perpetual Futures do not expire and remain effective until the trader closes their position. Crypto assets trade 24/7, and so do Decentralized Perpetual Futures.

"You will never make money outside of your cognition." All traders should strategize and do their research before trading Index Futures and understand both their advantages as well as their risks. Trading Index Futures can result in significant financial loss, keep this in mind at all times:

Never invest more than you can afford to lose!

How does DIPX work?

DIPX platform consists of 3 components: Liquidity pools(referring to Liquidity Pools), Index futures trading systems(referring to Trading), and Decentralized Ρrice Indexes Data(referring to Oracle Price Index ). Therefore, there are 2 kinds of participators: Liquidity providers and Traders, besides of the project token holders (referring to Tokenomics).

Both Traders and Liquidity Providers need to add crypto assets(BTC, ETH, USDC, USDT, DAI, FRAX, and any other cryptocurrency) into the liquidity pools before the DIPX protocol mints DLP tokens to Traders and liquidity Providers (referring to Liquidity Pools).

Based on the pooled liquidity, the Liquidity Pool acts as the central counterparty and clearinghouse to all positions settled by Traders.

Traders will trade in the price indexes (such as BTC, ETH Price Index) by DLP tokens to make a ΡnL from the volatility in the price indexes space, while Liquidity Providers can earn real yield from market-making and leverage trading by holding DLP tokens too(referring to Liquidity Pools).

In this case, both Traders and liquidity Providers will bear the PnL of all open positions (long and short) across the platform (Platform Overall ΡnL) equally by minting or burning DLP tokens, in other words, the traders not only make their own PnL but also take some of Platform Overall PnL at the same time.
