Perpetual futures contracts differ from normal futures contracts in several ways, but the main defining feature of these futures contracts is that they have no expiration dates, unlike traditional futures contracts which have expiration dates. A trader with a perpetual position can keep it open indefinitely, as long as they meet the required margin rates.

Additionally, perpetual futures contracts are settled in cash, unlike traditional futures contracts in which delivery of the underlying commodity, such as wheat or oil, can settle the contract.The role of perpetual futures

Perpetual futures contracts are designed to keep markets stable and trade at a price similar to or at the current market rate. This price stabilization is achieved through a concept known as the funding rate.

The funding rate is a recurring exchange in value between buyers (longs) and sellers (shorts) of the difference between the current market price of the underlying asset and the perpetual futures contracts.
