Sper

What is Sper? Sper is an investment strategy based on a combination of two markets: the spot market (Spot) and the perpetual futures market (Perpetual). The name comes from their abbreviations: S — Spot, per — Perpetual. The essence of the strategy lies in simultaneously purchasing an asset on the spot market and opening a short position on the perpetual futures market. This approach allows for hedging the position and reducing the impact of price fluctuations.

How does Sper work? Regardless of price movements (up or down), the open position remains approximately at the same level because losses from one market are offset by opposite movements in the other. This makes the position delta-neutral, meaning it is protected from volatility and maintains balance stability.

Main Sources of Profit The Sper strategy has several income channels:

  • Funding Rate — a mechanism regulated by the market: when long positions dominate the system, long holders pay shorts, and vice versa. Thus, by holding a short position, one can earn from the funding rate.

  • Additional income sources — the spot position can generate profit through lending, participation in liquidity pools, and liquid staking.

Automated Strategy Control The execution of the Sper strategy occurs automatically using bots. They monitor key indicators:

  • Asset prices

  • Funding rates

  • Position balances

  • Margin usage and leverage

Thanks to automated management, the strategy minimizes risks and ensures stable income even in highly volatile markets. Sper is a strategy with minimal risks and high efficiency.
