NEAR Protocol perpetual futures, explained
A NEAR perpetual future (perp) lets you trade NEAR Protocol with leverage and no expiry. The funding rate keeps the perp price tethered to spot — positive funding means NEAR longs are paying shorts (crowded longs), negative means the reverse. Open interest is the total value of open NEAR positions; a fast rise means new leverage is flowing in. Liquidations show where over-leveraged NEAR traders got force-closed — long liquidations on drops, short liquidations on rallies.
How to use this NEAR dashboard
Read the four numbers together. Heavy positive funding plus lopsided long positioning and rising open interest is a crowded long setup that can unwind sharply. A spike in long liquidations often marks a local NEAR bottom; a wave of short liquidations can fuel a squeeze higher. Confirm entries on the technical screener and size with the NEAR liquidation calculator so leverage never puts you closer to liquidation than you intend.
