Price cap — orders cannot execute more than this percentage above (buys) or below (sells) the current mark price. Protects against manipulation and extreme slippage.

Funding cap — the maximum funding rate per 8-hour period. Caps apply in both directions.

Liquidation clearance fee — charged on the notional value of a liquidated position. Paid to the liquidator. See Fees.

Leverage tiers

Maximum leverage decreases as position size grows. See Leverage & Margin for the full tier table per market.

Open interest limits

OI limits prevent any single market from accumulating excessive directional exposure. When a market reaches 80% of its OI cap, new orders that would increase OI may be blocked.

The effective OI cap is whichever limit — notional or size — is reached first.

Orders that would reduce open interest (closing or reducing positions) are always permitted even when the OI cap is reached.

See Open Interest Limits for detailed mechanics on what happens when a limit is reached.
