With the rapid development of the Eclipse (ES) ecosystem, its token ES is becoming a favorite among derivatives traders. As of July 25, 2025, the spot price of ES has increased by 67% within the month, leading to a surge in trading demand. This article will detail the trading strategies for ES Perptual Futures and analyze the core advantages of the Gate platform.
Understanding Eclipse (ES) and the Basics of Perpetual Futures
Eclipse (ES) is the first Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) L2 solution created on Ethereum, combining Ethereum’s security, SVM’s efficient execution capabilities, and Celestia’s data availability assurance, making it a benchmark project for high-performance Rollups. Its token ES was launched on July 17 on Gate’s Yubi Treasure 7-day fixed investment plan, with an annualized yield of up to 500%, and the quota of 780,000 ES was quickly sold out, reflecting the market’s enthusiasm.
Perptual Futures, as a derivative with no expiration date, anchor the spot price through a funding rate mechanism. Traders can gain leveraged returns by going long/short, and Gate supports leverage of up to 100x (for BTC contracts as an example).
ES Perptual Futures Trading Four-Step Guide (Using Gate as an Example)
Contract Selection and Parameter Settings
- Search for "ES/USDT" Perptual Futures (if not displayed in the main area, check the "Innovation Zone")
- Set the leverage multiplier (it is recommended for beginners to start from 1-5x)
- Choose the margin mode: Cross-margin (shared margin across positions) or Isolated margin (independent risk control for a single position)
Flexible Application of Order Types
- Limit Order: Execute at specified price to avoid slippage (recommended to use when volatility is low)
- Market Order: Immediate execution (suitable for breakout markets)
- Take Profit and Stop Loss Order: Predefined exit conditions (to avoid emotional decision making)
Position Management and Closing Positions
- Real-time monitoring of margin ratio to avoid triggering forced liquidation below maintenance margin
- Partial closing can lock in profits while retaining trend positions
- Funding rates settled every 8 hours (longs pay shorts during positive rates, and vice versa during negative rates)
Practical Tips: Combining Gate’s Yubi Treasure ES high-yield investment (500% APY) can hedge the capital cost of contract positions.
Analysis of Gate’s Five Core Advantages
- Rapid listing capability: Capture early Alpha returns. Gate’s "Prophet Engine" system integrates over 380 data dimensions (such as GitHub development activity, on-chain whale movements, etc.), with an average listing time of only 3.2 hours (the industry average is about 150 hours). 87% of tokens have already formed significant wealth effects on Gate before being listed on Binance. If ES Perptual Futures are launched, Gate users will gain the first-mover advantage in trading.
- Industry-leading liquidity depth. The BTC/USDT order book depth reaches $128 million (42% higher than the second place), with a slippage of only 0.015% for million-dollar trades (industry average 0.12%). The ETH spread remains stable at $0.03 during extreme market conditions (competitors average $0.2). The depth advantage ensures high efficiency for ES contract large orders.
- Ecological Synergy
- Spot-Contract Linkage: 600+ contract cryptocurrencies synchronized with spot, supporting cross-market arbitrage.
- Wealth Management Bonus: Holding ES allows participation in high-yield wealth management (500% APY), increasing asset utilization.
- Event Incentives: New Contract Trading Competition (e.g., providing 4 million tokens as rewards when the XNY contract is launched)
- Trading Experience Optimization
- Quantum Order Engine: Processes 18 million transactions per second, avoiding congestion.
- VIP tiered fee rate: maker as low as 0.015%, taker 0.045% (holding GT can reduce fees)
- AI Slippage Prediction: Early Warning of Large Order Impact Costs
- Compliance and Risk Control System
- 128% Over-Collateralization Proof (Monthly Audit)
- SAFU Fund covers user asset insurance
- Real-time adjustment of risk parameters (such as dynamically optimizing margin rules after the launch of the ASP contracts on July 25)
ES Perptual Futures Trading Advanced Strategies
- Hedge arbitrage: Hold ES in spot + short Perptual Futures, locking in a 500% APY return from the remaining asset treasure while avoiding volatility risks.
- Funding Rate Arbitrage: When the funding rate remains positive, go long on ES and simultaneously short an equivalent futures contract (cost threshold of the funding rate needs to be calculated).
- Event-driven trading: Focus on events such as the Eclipse mainnet upgrade and partner announcements, and use Gate’s "Whale Activity Monitoring" feature to seize opportunities (Users holding 1,000 GT can activate this feature).
Risk Warning
- Leverage is a double-edged sword: A 5% price fluctuation under 20x leverage may result in total loss of principal.
- Project Risk: The competition in the emerging L2 track is fierce (such as zkSync, StarkNet), and it is necessary to continuously assess the progress of the Eclipse ecosystem.
- Platform Selection: It is recommended to use exchanges that hold compliant licenses (such as Gate’s MSB license)
Conclusion
Gate has become the preferred platform for trading emerging assets such as ES, thanks to its lightning-fast listing speed, institutional-level liquidity depth, and ecological synergy capabilities. Its 16% market share in derivatives (Q1 2025 data) and ongoing technical investment provide traders with a one-stop Alpha capture solution from spot, wealth management to contracts. As the Eclipse ecosystem develops, the trading of ES derivatives may replicate the wealth effect of the MUBARAK token’s 7,400% increase, and Gate is at the forefront of this value discovery.
