How indices perpetuals work

Index perpetuals reference the level of a stock-market index (e.g. S&P 500). You're not buying any underlying stock; you're posting margin against a contract whose price moves with the index.

Pricing is anchored to a front-month index-futures oracle so the perp tracks the same number traders see on professional terminals. Funding payments push the perp price toward that oracle hourly.

Settlement is on-chain in USDC on Hyperliquid. There's no contract roll, no exchange-specific account, and no minimum trade size beyond what Hyperliquid's perp engine enforces.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from buying an index ETF?
An ETF is a regulated security you buy through a brokerage; you own a slice of a fund that holds stocks. An index perpetual is a derivative that tracks the same index but doesn't give you ownership in any underlying stock. Perpetuals allow leverage and 24/7 trading; ETFs trade only in market hours but pay dividends.
What index does the price track?
Each index perpetual references a specific underlying index (e.g. S&P 500 = SPX). Hyperliquid uses a futures-index oracle to keep the perpetual aligned with the live index level via the hourly funding mechanism.
What is a perpetual future?
A perpetual future is a contract that lets you bet on the price of an asset without owning it and without an expiration date. Unlike traditional futures, perpetuals never expire, so you can hold a position as long as you can pay funding and maintain margin. The price is kept in line with the underlying asset by a funding-rate mechanism.
What are funding rates?
Funding rates are small periodic payments between long and short traders that keep the perpetual price aligned with the underlying spot price. When the perp trades above spot, longs pay shorts; when it trades below, shorts pay longs. Hyperliquid charges funding hourly.
