Pair Naming

Our pair naming is structured to clearly show its characteristics. Knowing the naming structure is crucial for interacting with the API.

$$\begin{array}{c} \text{BASE} \\ \downarrow \\ \text{BTC} \end{array} \quad : \quad \begin{array}{c} \text{VARIANT} \\ \downarrow \\ \text{PERP} \end{array} \quad - \quad \begin{array}{c} \text{QUOTE} \\ \downarrow \\ \text{USDT} \end{array}$$

Examples

Spot

BTC-USDT

The Variant is omitted.

Perpetual Future

ETH:PERP-USDT

Inverse perps generally have USD as quote value

Dated Future

SOL:FUTURE_2025.03.28-USDC

The Variant always starts with FUTURE_ and ends with date: YYYY.MM.DD

Option

$$\begin{array}{c} \text{BASE} \\ \downarrow \\ \text{BTC} \end{array} \quad : \quad \begin{array}{c} \text{TYPE} \\ \downarrow \\ \text{CALL} \end{array} \quad @ \quad \begin{array}{c} \text{STRIKE} \\ \downarrow \\ \text{98000} \end{array} \quad \_ \quad \begin{array}{c} \text{EXPIRY} \\ \downarrow \\ \text{2024.11.22} \end{array} \quad - \quad \begin{array}{c} \text{QUOTE} \\ \downarrow \\ \text{USDT} \end{array}$$

The Variant has a more complex structure: TYPE@STRIKE_EXPIRY
