Derivatives contracts that track an asset's price without expiration, enabling leveraged long/short positions. On Solana, Drift Protocol and Jupiter Perps are the leading perps platforms. Traders deposit collateral and open positions at up to 10-100x leverage. Funding rates keep the contract price aligned with the spot price.
A high-frequency oracle network publishing price feeds for crypto, equities, commodities, and FX. Pyth aggregates data from 90+ first-party publishers (market makers, exchanges) and updates prices every 400ms on Solana. Each price feed includes a price, confidence interval, and exponential moving average. Pyth uses a pull model with Hermes for cross-chain delivery.
A decentralized perpetuals and spot exchange on Solana featuring a hybrid order book + AMM model (DLOB). Drift offers up to 20x leverage on perpetual contracts, spot margin trading, and lending/borrowing. Its backstop AMM provides liquidity when the order book is thin. Drift also offers prediction markets and a BET token.
