Index Price

Blast Futures Exchange uses an index price to calculate the hourly funding rate. The index price aims to track the underlying spot market price. For example, the Bitcoin index price tracks the price of spot Bitcoin on multiple spot exchanges.

Index Calculation Methodology

Blast Futures Exchange index price is calculated as the median of the market prices on multiple constituent exchanges. Constituent exchange candidates include both centralised and decentralised exchanges.

Index price protection mechanism

• Unresponsive price source: If any price source is unresponsive or returns an error, the price source is removed until we start receiving accurate prices again.

• Single price source deviation: If any price source deviates more than 5% from the median, the price source is removed.

Fair Price Calculation

The fair price is used to calculate trader positions' unrealised profit and loss (P&L) and also liquidations. The unrealised P&L is used in the calculation of the trader's account equity and account margin.

$FairPrice=Median(Price_1, Price_2, MarketPrice)$

$Price_1=IndexPrice*(1+Average(60min\ basis))$

$Price_2=IndexPrice*(1+Average(30min\ basis))$

Note: 30min, 60min basis is clamped within +/- 1%.

Our fair price uses a robust methodology in order to protect traders against unfair liquidations caused by "scam wicks".
