OKX: Adjustment of FILUSDT Perpetual Swap Before and After the Filecoin Mainnet Launch

Published on 11 Oct 20203 min read

Dear valued customers,

Filecoin mainnet will launch on October 15, 2020 (UTC). The FILUSDT index rebalance and other trading rules of OKX’s FILUSDT perpetual swap contract before and after the mainnet launch are as follows:

1. Before the mainnet launch

Before the Filecoin mainnet launches and while there is no FIL mainnet token trading pairs on mainstream exchanges, the index will continue to use the following components:

Exchange

Trading Pair

Weight

Gate.io

FIL6/USDT(previously known FIL/USDT pair

33.3%

Poloniex

XFIL/USDT

33.3%

OKX

FILUSDT perpetual swap

33.3%

2. After the mainnet launch

(1) Index components rebalance

After the Filecoin mainnet goes live, we will replace the existing components including FIL6, XFIL and FILUSDT perpetual swap with spot pairs from exchanges with robust FIL markets. As we strive to rebalance the index in a timely manner, the rebalance will NOT be announced again at that time, but users can obtain latest information on index component changes through the FILUSDT index page or index API.

(2) Price limit and funding rate rules adjustments

After the mainnet launches and the index components have stabilized, the price limit rule of FILUSDT perpetual swap will be adjusted as follow:

Before adjustment

After adjustment

Max. bid price=Min (MaxIndexIndex*1.1+ price movement average within the last 10 mins),Index*1.2)

Min.ask price= Min (MaxIndexIndex*0.9+ price movement average within the last 10 mins),Index*0.8)

Max. bid price=Min (MaxIndexIndex*1.06+ price movement average within the last 10 mins),Index*1.15)

Min.ask price = Min (MaxIndexIndex*0.94+ price movement average within the last 10 mins),Index*0.85)

The funding rate rules will be adjusted as follow:

Before adjustment

After adjustment

Funding rate=Clamp(MA(((Best Buy Price + Best Sell Price)/2-spot index price)spot index price - Interest), -0.1%, 0.1%)

Funding rate =Clamp(MA(((Best Buy Price + Best Sell Price)/2-spot index price)spot index price - Interest), -0.75%, 0.75%)

The adjustment of price limit and funding rate rules will be announced at a later time.

In addition, as the volatility of the currently illiquid FIL is relatively high, please take necessary risk management measures such as reducing positions, increasing margin and lowering the leverage to avoid potential risks caused by market volatility.

Thank you for your continued support and we assure you our best services at all times.

Regards,
OKX
