How perps work in Moneva
- 1
Pick a market and direction
Choose the market you want to trade, set long or short, then dial in your size and leverage. Moneva shows you the position you are about to take before anything is signed.
- 2
Review, then open from your wallet
Check the position details, including funding and fees, then approve it with a passkey or biometrics. The order is signed by your own wallet, never by Moneva on your behalf.
- 3
Execute on-chain at oracle prices
Your trade settles on-chain through audited protocols, priced from on-chain oracles. Collateral stays under your keys the whole time, so there is no custodian holding your funds.
- 4
Track and close on your terms
Watch your position and funding update in real time, add or reduce as you like, and close whenever you want. Proceeds settle back to your single Moneva balance.
FAQ
Perps covers major crypto markets, with the available list and the maximum leverage per market shown in the app before you trade. Leverage limits are set by the underlying audited protocols and the liquidity of each market, and they can change with market conditions. Higher leverage means a smaller price move can liquidate your position, so size accordingly.
Yes. Positions execute on-chain through audited DeFi protocols, and your collateral stays in your self-custodial wallet, controlled by your keys. Moneva is self-custodial software that helps you open, manage, and close positions. It is not a broker, not a custodian, and never takes possession of your funds.
Perpetuals have no expiry, so a periodic funding payment keeps their price aligned with the underlying market. Depending on the funding rate and your direction, you either pay or receive funding while a position is open. If your collateral falls below the maintenance requirement, the position can be liquidated on-chain to cover losses. Moneva surfaces your funding and liquidation price in real time so you can manage risk.
Prices come from on-chain oracles used by the underlying protocols, not from a price Moneva sets. Entries, funding, and liquidations all reference these oracle prices, which is what keeps the market transparent and verifiable on-chain.
Leveraged trading is high risk. Prices can move fast, funding can work against you, and a position can be liquidated, so you can lose your entire collateral for that trade. Because Moneva is non-custodial, you are responsible for your own decisions and the security of your keys. Trade only what you can afford to lose, and never share your passkey or recovery details. Nothing here is financial advice.
No. Every order is signed by your own wallet with your passkey or biometrics, and your collateral never leaves your custody. Moneva provides the interface and routing to audited on-chain protocols and third-party liquidity venues. It does not pool, lend out, or take possession of your assets.
