Arcus: perpetuals on stocks, gold and crypto
Research stock, crypto, commodity and index perpetuals in one place. Start with the contract and its costs, then use the public Arcus board to compare observed activity—not to assume a trade is safe.

A venue, several different contracts
A perpetual is a margined derivative without a scheduled expiry. It does not give you the underlying share, metal or shareholder vote. Arcus also describes other products, including Stock Tokens; do not treat their rights as the terms of a perpetual.
Each market has its own order book and parameters. A shared venue or collateral system does not mean that depth, minimum size or leverage are identical across symbols.
Trading access is separate from public research
The SypherScore board is public. That does not establish eligibility to trade: venue onboarding, jurisdiction and product restrictions may apply. Check the current venue terms before connecting or funding an account.
Margin collateral, account permissions and open positions are distinct from merely owning wallet keys. Read the selected margin mode and liquidation rules; wallet control does not eliminate trading or protocol risk.
Funding, margin and hours
Arcus documents hourly funding with a base component and a premium. A positive rate means longs pay shorts, but does not by itself prove crowded longs. Real-world-asset funding has a separate overnight/weekend regime.
For affected off-hours markets, initial margin rises while maintenance margin is unchanged under the documented rules. The market may remain open, but price bands, available depth and operational restrictions can affect execution.
What the SypherScore board adds
The board combines venue-reported fields, stored observations and calculated aggregates. The reviewed market reader uses a 30-second cache; check displayed update times rather than assuming an uncached feed. Historical coverage begins with the available observations, not necessarily the venue launch.
Open interest, turnover and funding help you investigate a market. They do not prove executable liquidity or returns. Read the dashboard guide and stock-perpetual guide, including the conflicting official dividend descriptions.
Sources and observation limits
Reviewed 26 September 2026. Educational copy, not a trade recommendation or an audit of venue execution. Check current contract parameters and account eligibility; historical board observations are not live quotes.
Questions
What can I research on the Arcus board?
Listed perpetual markets across equities, crypto, commodities and indices. The displayed snapshot determines the covered set; listing is not a promise of account access or execution.
Does a stock perpetual give me shares?
No. It is derivative exposure. Shareholder rights and venue-specific corporate-action adjustments are different questions.
How often is funding settled?
The reviewed Arcus documentation describes hourly settlement, a base rate plus premium and a separate off-hours RWA regime. Check the current market rules and actual funding records.
Do I need to connect a wallet to read the board?
No. Public statistics can be read without a trading connection. Trading eligibility and account authorization are separate.
