Kollider is currently in testing mode.
Settlement Types#
Kollider offers traders the ability to trade perpetuals with up to 100x leverage using either a cash balance or an order-by-order settlement system.
Order-By-Order Settlement#
The best way to think about order-by-order settlement is: having the ability to send your collateral or margin requirement at the same time as placing an order.
Kollider uses the Bitcoin Lightning Network to allow a trader to pay a Lightning invoice to enter, update margin or exit a position using their own Lightning Network wallet of choice.
With the Lightning Network, transactions are processed nearly instantly and with very low transaction fees.
Order-By-Order Settlement allows a trader to#
- Instantly transfer extra margin to a position to avoid liquidation
- Allocate capital efficiently: only allocate the capital required for an open position
- Never miss an opportunity by funding and opening positions directly from your own wallet of choice
- Dramatically reduce counterparty risk
Cash Balance Settlement#
A trader has the option to maintain a balance with Kollider in addition or as an alternative to using the order-by-order settlement system. After signing in, deposit and withdrawal options are available under the user dashboard. Currently, Bitcoin deposits and withdrawals are supported via either on-chain transactions or the Lightning Network.
