Buy orders will be restricted during the first 5 minutes after the start of trading,
During the same period, sell orders 10% below the previous closing price will be blocked,
Only limit orders will be available for 2 hours after the start of trading.
According to Upbit data, the price of SynFutures (F) is 13.06 KRW (approximately 0.00917 $USDT) as of 2:00 PM on October 21.
SynFutures stands out as a decentralized derivatives exchange known for its automated market-making system called “Oyster AMM,” which operates entirely on-chain.
The platform offers futures pairs based on real-world assets (RWA) such as crude oil (WTI) and gold (Gold). Within the SynFutures ecosystem, the F token can be used for staking and governance purposes.
