Contract Types

Root DEX supports linear, inverse, and quanto contracts, providing traders with a diverse range of options for their trading strategies.

Linear Contracts: These are also known as "U-based contracts". Traders can utilize stablecoins (USDC or USDT) as margins to go long or short on various cryptocurrencies including BTC, ETH, and more.

Inverse Contracts: Also referred to as "coin-based contracts", inverse contracts allow traders to use BTC as a margin to trade BTC/USD contracts, or ETH to trade ETH/USD contracts.

Quanto Contracts: Known as "dual-currency contracts", quanto contracts enable traders to use any type of coin as margin to trade perpetual contracts of popular cryptocurrencies such as BTC and ETH.

For instance, traders could use Root Dex.
