## What can you trade?

* D8X offers classical perpetuals with no borrowing or roll-over fees
* D8X perpetuals allow for linear (for example ETH/USDC collateralised in USDC), inverse (for example BERA/USD collateralised in BERA), and quanto (for example ETH/USD collateralised in BERA) perpetuals&#x20;
* D8X perpetuals can be calibrated for a diverse range of underlying assets such as crypto, commodities, FX, stocks
* The specification of the D8X Perpetuals contract is very closely following the original perpetuals as introduced by BitMEX and later adopted by Deribit.
* Traders put down a margin and they can enter a long or a short position in a perpetual contract&#x20;

D8X offers multiple [order types](https://d8x.gitbook.io/d8x/perpetual-contracts-guide/order-types) and competitive [fees](https://d8x.gitbook.io/d8x/perpetual-contracts-guide/fee-structure). &#x20;
