Abstract

Below is a description of the parameter changes propopsed in the SCCP:

  • MaxMarketValue is the maximum possible open interest on any given side of a perp market.
  • skewScale is the scaling factor of the relevant market in the underlying currency for computing PD and Funding Rates.

Motivation

The proposed parameter changes on skew scale aim at increasing the incentive on arbitrageurs to arbitrage the skew by targeting an effective liquidity comfortably below liquidity available on centralized exchanges. While the motivation behind the changes on max market value levels are done in order to align the oi caps with historical utilization (after incorporating a buffer).
