Why isn’t CVEX Guild being updated?
We manually update all the data about users' progress every few days. So, please wait a bit and check Guild after a while. However, if you think enough time has passed, and the information still hasn't been released, contact our worker bees in Discord.
Can I share CVEX achievements conditions in the chat?
No. Sharing descriptions of achievements you have unlocked in the official chat rooms and CVEX community channel is forbidden. Nevertheless, we cannot regulate your actions outside our official community.
How do I participate in the CVEX Tetnet?
The basic logic of our Testnet revolves around the XP points system. The number of XP points you earn is directly proportional to your contribution to testing the platform and our marketing activities. To earn points, you can complete achievements in our trading terminal, refer your friends, and follow our social media closely to avoid missing new features.

Will it be possible to trade COMMODITIES in the future?
Yes, we are working on the technical aspects of integrating commodities into our platform. Once we can ensure reliable pricing models, we will offer commodities trading to meet our users' diverse investment needs.
What types of orders exist?
In the CVEX Platforms, there are two primary types of orders used:
What will happen to my position if the contract expires?
If the contract expires, a position gets settled, and profits and losses are distributed based on the latest Index price.
What should I do if my Margin utilisation level is over 90, and I cannot close my position?
While in the testnet stage, you can just use the faucet and click ‘increase’ under account details. As a result, your balance will be replenished, and the margin ratio will be lowered. However, we recommend not bringing your account to this state and keeping a close eye on the margin ratio to avoid such a situation.
We recommend you to read this article, where you can learn more about margin ratio: https://cvex.xyz/post/initial-and-required-margin-margin-utilisation.
What is the index price?
The Index Price is provided by the Price Oracle and is used in the calculation of the Mark Price for futures and perpetual contracts on the CVEX Protocol. It reflects the real-time price of the underlying asset.

What is the mark price?
The Mark Price in the CVEX Protocol is continuously re-evaluated to reflect the contract's fair price, serving as an anchor to the market's perception of the true value of a contract, independent of immediate order book fluctuations. It is used to assess traders’ position value for futures and perpetual contracts, which is used to calculate equity and maintenance margins.
The Mark Price is calculated from the Index Price of the underlying asset, provided by the Price Oracle, and the Last Price, obtained from the contract's order book. The Last Price is the median value between the lowest ask and the highest bid prices in the CVEX order book, averaged for the Index Price updates. The protocol computes the contract basis as a moving average of the difference between the Index Price and the Last Price, and the current Mark Price is calculated by adjusting the current Index Price with the basis.

How can I increase my leverage?
To increase your leverage on the Crypto Valley Exchange, you can employ hedging strategies. For example, holding a balanced long position in Ethereum (ETH) and a short position in Bitcoin (BTC) can extend leverage up to 15x.
Additionally, for larger options portfolios that are well-hedged, particularly where the delta of the portfolio is well managed, you can build a cost-effective book of options with leverage ratios reaching up to 1000x. It's also noted that leverage varies for commodities, ranging from 10x to significantly higher depending on the commodity's volatility.
Also,we are working on manually adjustable leverage, which should be done for public mainnet release.
I don’t have ETH for commissions will I be able to trade?
Yes. You don't have to have ETH in your wallet to trade on CVEX.
While we are in the testnet stage, you use our inbuilt faucet, so you don't need money at all. At the mainnet stage, CVEX will use the meta-transaction principle. In short, when you open an order or perform any other action that executed on-chain CVEX pays gas for you and then compensates it through operational fees.
So you don't have to worry if you don't have ETH in your wallet.
What is the Trading fee and operational fee?
The Operational Fee is a fixed cost for each trade, paid in USDC from traders' collateral deposits, designed to compensate for the gas used by protocol participants in managing traders' orders and positions. It is independent of trade size and is directed to the platform's Operational Fund.
The Trading Fee is a relative fee based on the notional value of each order. The collected trading fees are distributed between the Platform Fund and the Protocol Fund, with the Platform Fund covering the expenses of platform operators and the Protocol Fund allocated for staking rewards, protocol development, and operational needs.
What measures does CVEX take to ensure the security and stability of its decentralised derivatives exchange?
CVEX ensures the security and stability of its decentralised derivatives exchange through several measures, particularly in volatile market conditions:
Do you have risk management tools?
Yes, the protocol incorporates risk management tools and strategies. These include:
Transparent Risk Parameters. The platform operates with transparent risk parameters encoded into smart contracts to mitigate trading risks.
Independent Account Management. Each account is treated as an independent entity with its own risk profile, enabling precise risk management.

How to partially close the position?
To close a part of a position, you can do the opposite action. If you open a long position, you need to sell the part of the contract by which you want to reduce your position. If you opened short, you should do the opposite.
It is important to click on the ‘Reduce-only’ checkbox when opening a new order.
