What is a Future Contract?

A Futures Contract is a derivatives product that tracks the performance of an underlying virtual asset, such as BTC or ETH. It has a fixed expiry date and uses a regular payment mechanism between the counterparties. Payments occur every 1 hour, where the average price of the Futures Contract will be reset to the session Mark Price at the start of each 1-hour period. On the expiry date, the final settlement price will be calculated as the TWAP of the last 60 minutes of trading before maturity.
