Futures pricing is deterministic, and its main goal is to prevent arbitrage: 💰 Futures Price = Spot Price * e^(rT) - r: risk-free rate (e.g., $MINA staking yield) - T: time to maturity This formula approximates pricing at maturity in both TradFi and DeFi 🧮
🏦 Traditional futures require centralized clearing houses On the blockchain, smart contracts eliminate intermediaries, enabling decentralized peer-to-peer agreements Example: A contract to trade 1000 $MINA for 2000 $USDC in 1 year, regardless of future $MINA price 📊
