A Nano Solana Perpetual Futures Contract is a smaller-sized Solana futures contract that provides continuous price exposure without a fixed expiration date. Unlike traditional Solana futures that settle on a specific date, perpetual style futures remain open as long as margin requirements are met. The nano contract size reduces notional exposure, allowing traders to manage risk more precisely while trading Solana on margin.
