Terms & Concepts

ADL (auto-deleveraging): A risk mechanism that automatically reduces traders’ positions to cover losses when the insurance fund is insufficient.
Perpetual contracts: Derivatives with no expiry that track an index price, widely used in crypto markets for leveraged trading.
Insurance pool (exchange loss-coverage fund): An exchange-managed reserve that absorbs liquidation losses to reduce the frequency of ADL events.
