What Is the 2024ELECTION PERP? 

Helix’s 2024ELECTION PERP will trade akin to a regular perp with 3x leverage. The underlying asset is TRUMPWIN, meaning if you buy/long the asset, you are taking the position that Donald Trump will win the election. Similarly, if you sell/short the asset, you are taking the position that Donald Trump will lose the election.

For this asset, the mark price is based on the midpoint of the orderbook on Polymarket for the "yes" token for Trump. Further, the price has a 6-hour TWAP to prevent big swings and uses the Polymarket’s Presidential Election Winner 2024 market as the oracle to determine the winning candidate. 

The mark price will settle to $1 if the aforementioned market on Polymarket settles to "yes" for Donald Trump (i.e. Donald J. Trump wins the 2024 presidential election), and $0 if the market on Polymarket settles to "no" for Donald Trump (i.e. if Kamala Harris or another candidate wins the presidential election).
