Why KYC is Required?

KYC (Know Your Customer) is a standard process required by global financial regulations. It serves several important purposes:

  • Compliance With Regulations KYC ensures that the exchange complies with international Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorist Financing (CTF) requirements. This helps prevent illegal activities such as money laundering, terrorist financing, and fraud.

  • User Identity Verification By verifying the identity of each user, the exchange can confirm that accounts are genuine and are not created with stolen or falsified information.

  • Account and Asset Security Verified accounts significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access, identity theft, and fraudulent transactions. This helps protect both users and the platform.

  • Improved Service Access Completing KYC often provides users with higher transaction and withdrawal limits, as well as access to more advanced features and services.

Conditional Orders

A Conditional Order is an instruction to buy or sell an asset once certain market conditions are met, such as reaching a specific trigger price. When the trigger condition is activated, the order is placed automatically as a market or limit order.

When to Use?

  • When you want to automate entries or exits based on price movement.

Common Deposit Issues

Depositing an unsupported asset

If you send a token or use a blockchain network that Backpack Exchange doesn’t support, it will not be credited to your account.

FAQs

Does placing a Scaled Order count as a market order or a limit order?

A Scaled Order is made up of multiple limit orders distributed across a selected price range. It is not a market order.


Limit Orders

A Limit Order allows you to set the maximum price you are willing to pay when buying, or the minimum price you are willing to accept when selling.

When to Use?

  • When you want to control the exact entry or exit price.

Trading Fees

At Backpack Exchange, our commitment to providing a transparent and competitive fee structure is paramount.

Travel Rule & Address Book

Travel Rule

The Travel Rule is a global regulatory requirement issued by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). It requires Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs), such as cryptocurrency exchanges, to share sender and recipient information when transferring digital assets above a certain threshold. This helps prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, and other illicit activities.

Why Does the Exchange Ask for Additional Information When I Withdraw?

Depending on the withdrawal amount and the destination, you may be asked to provide beneficiary details such as the recipient’s name or account reference. This information is required for Travel Rule compliance and ensures the security and transparency of crypto transfers.

Is My Personal Information Safe Under the Travel Rule?

Risks

1. Main Risks for Lenders (Depositors)

  • Liquidity Risk: At times of high utilization, it may be difficult to withdraw funds immediately, as most liquidity is already borrowed.

  • Market Risk (Asset Depreciation):

Scaled Order

A Scaled Order is a trading strategy that places multiple buy or sell orders at predefined price intervals, either above or below the current market price. This creates a series of smaller orders that scale into or out of a position gradually, rather than executing a single large order.

When to Use?

  • When you want to average your entry or exit price over a range instead of committing at one price point.

  • When you cannot monitor the market continuously but want orders to be placed automatically at key levels.


  • Key Points

    • Provides flexibility by combining trigger conditions with order execution.

    • Can be set as a stop-market or stop-limit order after the condition is met.

    • Execution is not guaranteed if the market does not reach the trigger price, or if there is insufficient liquidity at the chosen limit price.

    • Commonly used for risk management and strategic trading automation.

    We will make a best effort to return these funds, but due to the complex nature of retrieval,
    timelines cannot be guaranteed
    .
    Incorrect Deposit Address

    If you send funds to the wrong deposit address, they will usually be lost and are not retrievable.

    No exchange can recover assets sent to an unrelated or invalid address.

    Missing or Incorrect Memo/Tag/Payment ID

    If you forget to include or enter an incorrect memo, tag, or payment ID, your deposit may not be credited automatically.

    We will make a best effort to recover the funds, but the process requires time.

    Using the Wrong Blockchain Network

    If you send a token using the wrong blockchain network (e.g., USDT via TRC20 to an ERC20 address), your assets may be lost or require complex technical recovery.

    We will try our best to help you, but retrieval is not guaranteed.

    Depositing Below the Minimum Amount

    If you deposit less than the minimum required amount, the funds will not be credited to your account.

    In most cases, these deposits cannot be refunded.

    Depositing After Delisted Token/Network

    If you deposit a token or use a network that has already been delisted or suspended, the deposit will fail.

    We will try our best to help, but recovery is typically not possible.

    Network Congestion or Incorrect Gas Fee

    If you send a deposit with too low a transaction fee, or during periods of network congestion, your transaction may be delayed or fail to confirm.

    Funds may arrive once confirmed, but timing is uncertain.

    Depositing From a Smart Contract (If Unsupported)

    If you deposit from a smart contract address that Backpack Exchange does not support, the deposit may fail.

    We will try our best to help you, but recovery is not always guaranteed.

    Suitable for traders who expect gradual market movements or who want to reduce the impact of volatility and slippage.

  • Often used to ladder into positions during uncertain market conditions or to ladder out when taking profits.


  • Key Points

    • Helps reduce the risk of poor timing by spreading orders across different price levels.

    • Can be configured with the number of orders, price range, and distribution (equal or weighted).

    • Execution depends on market movements — some or all orders may remain unfilled if the price does not reach those levels.

    • Useful for both long-term accumulation strategies and short-term trading in volatile markets.

    FAQ

    Why a Filled Order May Not Appear on the K-Line?

    A common reason for this situation is how candlestick (K-line) charts are constructed versus how individual trades are executed and displayed.

    1. Candlestick Aggregation

      • Each candlestick (K-line) represents the open, high, low, and close prices within a set time interval (e.g., 1 minute, 5 minutes).

      • If your trade occurred at a price between the recorded high and low, but it did not exactly match the open, close, or extreme values, it will not appear as a labeled point on the candlestick itself.

    2. Trade Matching vs. Chart Data

      • The execution price of your order comes from the order book matching engine.

      • The candlestick chart is based on a stream of trades during each interval, but depending on chart compression and data aggregation, not every individual trade is visible.

    3. Low Volume or Rapid Price Movements

      • If there was very little trading activity, your trade might have occurred at a price level not revisited by other trades within that candle.

      • Charts often display only the highest and lowest trade prices in the timeframe, so intermediate prices (including yours) may not be obvious.

    4. Chart Provider Variations

      • Depending on the charting system or data feed, some platforms may round, filter, or slightly delay certain ticks.

      • This can cause differences between what you see on the chart and the precise execution record of your trade.


    Key Takeaway

    Your order was executed correctly at the market price available in the order book. However, because candlestick charts only show summarized price points (open, high, low, close) for each interval, not every individual execution price will be visible on the K-line. For exact trade prices, always refer to your order history or trade log rather than the chart.

    Scaled Order vs. TWAP

    Feature

    Scaled Order

    TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price)

    Execution Logic

    Places multiple limit orders at predefined price intervals within a chosen price range.

    Splits a large order into smaller market orders when executed evenly over a fixed time period.

    Control Factor

    Controlled by price levels.

    Controlled by time.

    Execution Guarantee

    Execution not guaranteed – only orders at reached price levels will fill.

    Full order is typically executed as long as liquidity exists.

    Primary Objective

    Cost averaging and laddered entry/exit across multiple price levels.

    Minimize market impact and achieve an average price over time.

    Suitable for patient traders waiting for favorable market conditions.

    Key Points

    Execution is not guaranteed — the order will only be filled if the market reaches or exceeds your set price.


    Why Did My Limit Order End Up Being Executed as a Market Order?

    • The logic of a limit order is:

      • A buy order will be executed at a price ≤ your set price.

      • A sell order will be executed at a price ≥ your set price.

    • If you do not enable the Post Only option, the system will match your order against existing orders in the order book immediately, as long as the price condition is satisfied.

    • To ensure your order is always placed into the order book as a Maker order, you need to check Post Only. Otherwise, your order may be executed immediately as a Taker order.

    Example:

    • You set a buy limit order for BTC/USD at 30,000.

    • The current best ask price is 29,900.

    • Result: The system will execute the order immediately at 29,900 instead of placing it at 30,000 to wait.

    Backpack Exchange Trading Fees

    Important Note on USDT/USDC Trading:

    Our USDT/USDC trading pair is subject to a 0% fee, which means that trades on this pair do not count toward your 30-day volume requirements for fee tier upgrades.


    What is the Mad Lads VIP program?

    Mad Lads holders who connect their Backpack Wallet containing the NFT to Backpack Exchange will automatically qualify for VIP Tier 1 trading fees. The Mad Lads VIP program is in place for both Spot and Perpetual futures.

    See details about the Mad Lads VIP program here.

    What are Maker and Taker Fees?

    • Maker Fee: A "maker" is someone who places a limit order that adds liquidity to the market. This means the order isn’t filled immediately but waits for a matching order (opposite buy or sell) to come along. The fee incurred for such orders is called the "maker fee". Makers typically pay a lower fee as they contribute to the market's liquidity.

    • Taker Fee: A "taker" is someone who places an order that matches immediately with an existing order on the order book. This takes liquidity away from the market. The fee for such orders is called the "taker fee". Takers typically pay a slightly higher fee due to the immediate nature of their trades.

    How do Fee Tiers Work?

    The more you trade, the more you save! Our fee structure is designed to reward high-volume traders with reduced fees. As your 30-day trading volume increases, you ascend through our tier levels, and your applicable fees decrease. Both maker and taker fees decrease as you move to a higher tier, allowing for a more cost-effective trading experience.

    Please refer to the table provided to view the fee structure across different tiers and the corresponding 30-day volume requirements. We aim to offer a seamless trading experience with a clear understanding of the associated costs.‍

    Note: Fee tiers are recalculated every hour, so your tier status is updated regularly.

    Adress Book

    The Address Book is a feature designed to make crypto withdrawals more secure and convenient. It allows you to save frequently used wallet addresses and manage them within your account.

    How to Add an Address to the Address Book

    1. Click “Portfolio.”

    2. Under the “Settings” tab, click “Address Book.”

    3. From the “Network” dropdown menu, select the corresponding network.

    4. Click “Add Address.”

    5. Fill in the required fields:

      • Set the label for the address.

      • Enter a brief description (optional).

    6. Click “Continue” to save.

    🎉 Done! Next time you make a withdrawal, you can quickly select this saved address directly from your Address Book.

    Lenders deposit crypto assets; if the market value of these assets drops significantly, the real return (in fiat terms) may decrease despite earning interest.
  • Variable Interest Rates: Lending yields are not fixed and may fluctuate based on borrowing demand. Lower demand results in lower returns.


  • 2. Main Risks for Borrowers

    • Liquidation Risk: If the collateral value falls below the required maintenance margin, the borrower’s position may be liquidated, potentially at a loss.

    • High Interest Costs: During periods of high utilization, borrowing rates may increase sharply, making loans more expensive.

    • Collateral Volatility: Since most collateral is in volatile crypto assets, rapid price declines can quickly trigger margin calls and liquidations.

    • Over-Leverage Risk: Borrowing against volatile assets may amplify losses if the market moves unfavorably.

    Sub-accounts

    Why Create a Sub-Account?

    Sub-accounts give you more control by keeping funds seperate. They’re ideal if you want to manage different strategies, or capital without everything tied to one account.

    Creating sub-accounts allows you to:

    • Separate risk. Losses or positions in one sub-account won’t affect funds over into others.

    • Run multiple strategies. Trade different approaches or portfolios independently.

    • Move funds easily. Transfer between your main account and sub-accounts for clear, simple capital management.

    Sub-accounts help you trade smarter and safer by keeping activities organized and risks contained.

    How to Create a Sub-Account?

    1. Log into your exchange account, click the account icon in the top right corner, then click “Add Subaccount.”

    1. Create a username and click “Add Subaccount” again to save.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How many sub-accounts can I create?

    Each account currently supports up to 10 sub-accounts.

    Can I set different permissions for each sub-account?

    Yes. Each sub-account can be configured independently with different settings, such as:

    • Maximum leverage multiplier

    • Whether to enable auto-lending

    How to transfer funds between sub-accounts? Are there any fees?
    • No fees for transfers between sub-accounts.

    • Log into your exchange account, click the account icon in the top right corner, then click the three dots next to the account and select Transfer In or Transfer Out.

    Can sub-accounts withdraw funds directly?

    Yes. Each sub-account has its own deposit and withdrawal addresses, and users can deposit to or withdraw from a specific sub-account individually.

    Do sub-account trading volumes count toward VIP level or fee discounts?

    Yes. The trading volume from sub-accounts is aggregated with the main account and contributes to overall VIP tier and fee benefits.

    Can each sub-account have separate API keys?

    Yes. Sub-accounts can generate and manage their own API keys for trading and data access, with restrictions set by the main account.

    Can I export trading records and reports for sub-accounts separately?

    Yes. Each sub-account has its own transaction history and report export function, which can be useful for auditing, accounting, or internal management.

    FAQ

    Why was my conditional order not triggered even though the market price reached my trigger price?

    Logic of a Conditional Order

    A Conditional Order follows an “If–Then” logic structure:

    • IF the market price reaches the predefined trigger price,

    • THEN the system automatically submits an actual order (either a market order or a limit order).


    Step-by-Step Logic Flow

    1. Set Trigger Price → You define the condition (e.g., “If BTC falls to $25,000”).

    2. Choose Execution Type → You decide whether the system should place a market order (immediate execution) or a limit order (at your chosen price).

    3. Wait for Condition → Until the trigger price is reached, the order stays inactive and does not appear in the order book.


    Troubleshooting Checklist

    1. Confirm the benchmark price selected for the trigger — Mark Price, Index Price, or Last Traded Price.

      • If you set it to Mark Price but were monitoring the Last Traded Price, differences may occur.

      • A conditional order only triggers when the chosen benchmark actually reaches your trigger level.

    Market Orders

    A Market Order is an instruction to buy or sell immediately at the best available price in the order book.

    When to Use?

    • When you want your order to be executed instantly.

    • Suitable for entering or exiting a position quickly, regardless of slight price changes.

    Key Points

    • Execution is guaranteed, but the price may vary slightly due to market liquidity (slippage).

    • Best for urgent trades, not for precise price control.

    How to Avoid Slippage Risk When Using Market Orders?

    • On the Futures Order Placement page, select the token you wish to trade.

    • After confirming the trade direction, choose Market Order.

    • Enter the order quantity.

    • Click Max Slippage Setting, then enter the maximum slippage you are willing to allow.

    • Click Submit to save the setting.

    • Confirm the order.

    Interest Rates

    What Are Interest Rates?

    Interest rates represent the cost of borrowing assets or the yield earned by lenders who supply liquidity. Rates are typically variable and adjust dynamically based on market conditions, primarily driven by Utilization (the percentage of funds in the pool that have been borrowed).


    How Are Interest Rates Determined?

    1. Utilization-Based Model

      • When Utilization is low, borrowing demand is weak → interest rates are lower.

      • When Utilization is high, borrowing demand is strong → interest rates increase to encourage repayment and attract more deposits.

    2. Borrower Interest Rate


    Why Do Interest Rates Change?

    • Market Supply & Demand: More borrowing increases rates, while higher deposits reduce rates.

    • Liquidity Conditions: High utilization raises rates to incentivize lenders to supply more liquidity.

    • Platform Risk Management: Dynamic adjustments help maintain balance and protect against liquidity shortages.


    How can I view the current lending rates?

    1. Click “Lend” to enter the Lending page.

    2. Open the token selection dropdown menu.

    3. You will then be able to view the real-time borrow and lend rates for different tokens.

    👉

    Utilization

    What Is Utilization?

    Utilization refers to the percentage of total available funds in a lending pool that have been borrowed by users. It reflects how much of the pool’s liquidity is currently in use.

    Formula:

    Utilization=Total Borrowed / Total Lent × 100%

    For example:

    • If a pool has 1,000 USDT deposited and 800 USDT borrowed,

    • Then Utilization = 80%.


    Why Is Utilization Important?

    • For Lenders:

      • High utilization means more of their funds are actively lent out, potentially earning higher interest.

      • Very high utilization, however, may limit withdrawal flexibility, as most funds are borrowed.

    • For Borrowers:


    Key Parameters

    • Optimal Utilization: The point where interest rates begin to increase rapidly to encourage more lending and loan repayments.

    • Throttled Utilization: The utilization rate threshold where lend redeems and new borrows are paused to prevent 100% utilization.

    • Max Utilization: The maximum utilization rate threshold where no lend redeems or new borrows are allowed, and positions may be automatically deleveraged.

    Rank Referral Program (Points)

    The Rank Referral Program rewards top badge holders with a percentage match of the points earned by their referred users.


    Eligibility

    • Who qualifies: Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Challenger (Season 2 only)

    • What you earn: a weekly points match on the points your referrals generate

    • First distribution: Week 8 of Season 2 (included in the standard weekly points payout)

    Short (Buy) → Triggered when the market price falls to or below your Take-Profit trigger.

    Once triggered, the TP order converts into a Market or Limit order depending on the execution type selected.


    Execution Types

    Take-Profit Market Order

    • Executes immediately at the best available market price once triggered.

    • The final execution price may differ from your trigger price due to slippage or price gaps, especially during high volatility.

    • Full or partial fills may occur depending on available liquidity.

    Take-Profit Limit Order

    • Places a limit order at your specified limit price once triggered.

    • Provides price control, but execution is not guaranteed — if the market reverses quickly, the order may remain partially filled or unfilled.


    Parameter Recommendations

    Long (Sell)

    Trigger Price ≤ Limit Price

    Setting the limit price slightly above the trigger price improves the likelihood of execution.

    Short (Buy)

    Trigger Price ≥ Limit Price

    Setting the limit price slightly below the trigger price improves the likelihood of execution.

    Tip: Adding a small “spread” between your trigger and limit prices helps balance price control with execution probability.


    Trigger Price Source

    You can choose which price source triggers your Take-Profit order:

    • Mark Price — Helps avoid false triggers from short-term market spikes.

    • Last Traded Price — More sensitive to price movement but can trigger early in volatile conditions.

    • Index Price — Reflects a weighted average across multiple markets and helps maintain consistent triggering.


    Risk Reminder

    • During high volatility, Market TP orders may execute far from your trigger price.

    • Limit TP orders may not execute if the price moves away too quickly.

    • To improve reliability, set a small buffer between your trigger and limit prices.

    • Ensure your trigger source matches your trading intent (Mark Price recommended for most users).

    👉For details on how to set a take-profit order, please refer to this page.

  • Short (Buy) → Triggered when the market price rises to or above your stop price.

  • Once triggered, the Stop-Loss order converts into either a Market or Limit order based on your chosen execution type.


    Execution Types

    Stop-Market Order

    • Once triggered, the order converts to a market order, executing immediately at the best available price.

    • The execution price may differ from your stop price due to slippage or price gaps, particularly in fast-moving markets.

    • Partial fills may occur depending on liquidity at the time of execution.

    Stop-Limit Order

    • Once triggered, the order becomes a limit order at your specified limit price.

    • Provides price control, but execution is not guaranteed — if the market continues to move away from your limit price, the order may remain unfilled and fail to provide stop-loss protection.


    Parameter Recommendations

    Long (Sell)

    Trigger Price ≥ Limit Price

    Setting the limit price slightly below the trigger price increases the chance of execution during downward movement.

    Short (Buy)

    Trigger Price ≤ Limit Price

    Setting the limit price slightly above the trigger price increases the chance of execution during upward movement.

    Tip: Adding a small “spread” between your trigger and limit prices helps improve execution reliability while maintaining price control.


    Trigger Price Source

    Choose which price source triggers your Stop-Loss order:

    • Mark Price — Reduces the chance of false triggers caused by short-term price spikes.

    • Last Traded Price — More sensitive to rapid market movements but may trigger early during volatility.

    • Index Price — Reflects an aggregated market rate and offers stability during abnormal price fluctuations.


    Risk Reminder

    • During extreme volatility, Stop-Market orders may execute far from your trigger price.

    • Stop-Limit orders may fail to execute if the market price moves past the limit price too quickly.

    • In both cases, your position may remain open longer than expected, increasing potential losses.

    • For most users, Mark Price triggers offer the best balance between stability and timely activation.

    👉For details on how to set a stop loss order, please refer to this page.

    Account name

  • SWIFT/BIC

  • IBAN / Account number

  • Sort code (if applicable)

  • Reference (include this exactly to credit your account)

  • Bank name & address

  • Recipient address

  • Please ensure accuracy to avoid delays.

    How long does a USD deposit take?

    Deposits typically take 1–5 business days, depending on your bank and intermediary banks.

    Can I deposit from another person's bank account?

    No. We only accept deposits from bank accounts in your own name. Third-party deposits will be rejected or returned, potentially incurring additional fees.

    My deposit hasn't arrived—what should I do?

    If a deposit doesn't appear after 5 business days:

    1. Confirm with your bank that the wire was sent successfully.

    2. Verify that all wire details and required reference codes were included.

    3. Contact our support with your wire receipt and bank confirmation.

    What happens if my deposit is rejected?

    Rejected deposits (e.g., due to name mismatch or missing reference) are typically returned to the sending bank, potentially incurring third-party fees and delays.

    Will I need to provide extra documentation?

    In some cases, our banking partner or your own bank may request additional details—for example:

    • Purpose of transaction (e.g. “crypto purchase”)

    • Proof of source of funds (recent bank statement)

    • Any other compliance documentation

    If you receive such a request, please reply promptly with the information to avoid processing delays.

    1. Charts

    Charts provide a visual representation of price and market activity for each cryptocurrency. They help users:

    • Track historical price trends.

    • Identify support and resistance levels.

    • Monitor volatility, which may impact interest rates and borrowing risk.

    Key Tip: For lenders, monitoring charts helps assess the stability of the asset being lent. For borrowers, it helps time entry and exit to avoid borrowing during highly volatile conditions.


    2. Candlesticks

    A candlestick chart shows how the price of an asset has moved during a specific time interval (e.g., 1 minute, 1 hour, 1 day). Each candlestick contains four key data points:

    • Open – The price at the beginning of the interval.

    • Close – The price at the end of the interval.

    • High – The highest price reached during the interval.

    • Low – The lowest price reached during the interval.

    Usage in Lending & Borrowing:

    • Candlesticks help identify short-term vs. long-term market trends.

    • Sharp price movements may signal higher borrowing risk (liquidation risk).

    • Stable price patterns suggest safer lending or borrowing conditions.


    3. Indicators

    Indicators are technical analysis tools applied to charts that help interpret market conditions. Commonly used indicators include:

    • Moving Averages (MA / EMA): Show overall trend direction. Helpful to decide when to borrow or repay.

    • Relative Strength Index (RSI): Measures overbought or oversold conditions. Can indicate potential price reversals.

    • Bollinger Bands: Reflect price volatility; wide bands suggest high volatility, which may increase liquidation risk for borrowers.

    • Volume Indicators: Show trading activity; high volume may mean stronger support/resistance levels.

    Usage in Lending & Borrowing:

    • Borrowers can use indicators to avoid entering positions in overheated markets.

    • Lenders can use them to gauge market sentiment before supplying assets.


    Key Points to Remember

    • Charts and candlesticks visualize market data, helping both borrowers and lenders make informed decisions.

    • Indicators provide deeper insights into trends, momentum, and volatility.

    • Monitoring these tools helps reduce risks, such as unexpected liquidations for borrowers or asset devaluation for lenders.

    Market Dependency

    Highly dependent on price movement; orders fill only if the market hits your levels.

    Less dependent on price movement; trades are executed over time regardless of volatility.

    Leverage

    Typically lower ranges (e.g., ~2×–5×), varies by asset and collateral

    Typically higher ranges (e.g., ~10×–50×), varies by market

    Carry / Ongoing costs

    Trading fees + borrow interest

    Trading fees ± funding payments (you may pay or receive)

    Settlement

    Spot settlement; inventory changes in your wallet

    Perpetual contract; PnL settles continuously via funding

    Use case

    Directional exposure to the asset, shorting via borrow, inventory hedging

    Directional exposure without holding the asset, hedging, basis/funding strategies

    Instrument

    You hold the underlying asset (borrowed or owned)

    You trade a derivative contract that tracks an index price

    Withdrawals may take from a few minutes to an hour to be received.

    Why hasn’t my withdrawal arrived yet?

    Common reasons include:

    • The transaction is still waiting for blockchain confirmations.

    • Network congestion is delaying processing.

    • The receiving platform requires more confirmations before crediting funds.

    You can track your transaction using the provided TxID (Transaction ID) on a blockchain explorer.

    What is a TxID and where can I find it?

    A TxID (Transaction ID) is a unique identifier for your withdrawal on the blockchain. You can find it in your withdrawal history on the exchange and use it to check transaction status on a blockchain explorer.

    Can I cancel an on-chain withdrawal after submitting it?

    No. Once a withdrawal request has been processed and broadcast to the blockchain, it cannot be canceled or reversed. Please double-check all withdrawal details before confirming.

    What happens if I entered the wrong address?

    If you withdraw to an incorrect or invalid address, the funds may be lost permanently. The exchange cannot retrieve funds sent to the wrong address. Always verify the destination address carefully.

    Why do some withdrawals require a Memo/Tag?

    Certain cryptocurrencies (e.g., XRP, XLM, EOS) require a memo, tag, or payment ID in addition to the wallet address. If you forget to include it, your funds may not be credited properly on the receiving platform. Manual recovery may be possible but is not guaranteed and may require service fees.

    Are there fees for on-chain withdrawals?

    Yes. Each on-chain withdrawal incurs a network fee (gas fee) to process the transaction on the blockchain. The fee amount depends on the selected network and current network conditions.

    What if I chose the wrong network?

    Sending a withdrawal via the wrong blockchain network may result in irreversible loss of funds. Some recoveries may be possible but are not guaranteed. Always confirm that the recipient platform supports the selected network.

  • Lender (Deposit) Interest Rate

    • This is the yield lenders earn by supplying assets.

    • It is derived from the borrowing interest rate, after accounting for the exchange/protocol’s fee (if applicable).

    • High utilization can lead to higher interest rates, as demand for liquidity is strong.

    • Low utilization generally means lower borrowing costs and easier access to funds.

    ⚠️Please note that once deleted, you will not be able to register again within 6 months.


    Data Retention

    Backpack is committed to safeguarding your personal data and retaining it only as long as law and regulation require. Because we operate in a regulated financial environment, we cannot delete a verified account or its historical records until the statutory retention period has elapsed (typically five to seven years, depending on jurisdiction). The sections below explain why and outline the steps you can take to wind down your relationship with us while your data remains in mandatory retention.


    Who this guide is for

    • Customers with a Backpack Exchange account (web or mobile)

    • Users of Backpack Wallet who completed identity verification for the exchange

    Backpack Wallet (self‑custodial)

    Backpack Wallet is a self‑custodial application. Your private keys never leave your device, and we do not maintain a server‑side “wallet account.” Because we hold no wallet data, there is nothing for us to delete—simply uninstall the app or extension.

    Deletion and retention rules described below apply only to Backpack Exchange accounts.

    Why we cannot delete your account

    Financial‑services regulations—particularly Know‑Your‑Customer (KYC) and Anti‑Money‑Laundering (AML) rules—require regulated exchanges to preserve certain records for prescribed periods. These obligations apply to Backpack in every jurisdiction where we operate.

    Data we must retain

    Data
    Deletable
    Statutory reason for retention

    Once the statutory window closes—usually five to seven years, depending on jurisdiction—we securely erase or anonymise records wherever law permits.

    Actions available to you

    1. Withdraw assets and close positions — transfer funds away and settle any open trades.

    2. Cease using the service — sign out, uninstall the application, and clear browser data.

    3. Opt out of marketing messages — click “unsubscribe” in any Backpack email.

    4. Request a review — if you believe special circumstances apply, contact us; we assess each request individually and may deactivate certain functionality on a case‑by‑case basis.

    Your account will remain inactive, and all retained data will continue to be stored securely with restricted access.


    How to Contact Us

    If you have any concerns about your data or wish to inquire further about account closure or deactivation options, please reach out to us via the following channels:

    • Email:

    • Live Chat: and click on the chatbot in the lower right hand portion of your screen.


    All requests are reviewed individually and carried out in accordance with data‑protection laws and our internal compliance standards. Your information is protected, held only for the legally required period (generally 5–7 years), and never processed beyond legitimate business or regulatory purposes. To learn more about your rights—including access, restriction, or objection—please see our Privacy Policy.

    Can I change my invitation code?

    Invitation codes are generally fixed after registration and cannot be modified.

    Can a user register two accounts using different IDs?

    For security and compliance reasons, each user is permitted to maintain only one verified account. Creating multiple accounts with different IDs may result in account restrictions or suspension.

    What should I do if I do not receive the registration verification email?
    • Check your spam or junk mail folder.

    • If you still have not received the verification email, please feel free to contact our support team at [email protected].

    How long does the verification process take?

    Most verification requests are processed within a few minutes to several hours. In some cases requiring manual review, it may take up to 1–3 days.

    1. Please check if two accounts are using the same KYC information.

    2. If not, check your email (including spam/junk folders) for any message from

    Passkeys

    What is a passkey?

    A passkey is a login method that replaces traditional passwords with device-based authentication such as fingerprint, face recognition, or a local device PIN. It’s built on the FIDO2/WebAuthn standard and helps reduce common risks like phishing and credential theft.

    How do passkeys compare to passwords?

    Passkeys work differently than traditional passwords:

    • They are unique to each account and bound to your device.

    • They use biometric or PIN verification on your device instead of something you type.

    • Because of this, they are less vulnerable to phishing and credential reuse.

    How Do I Enable a Passkey on My Account?

    • Log into your exchange account, click the Settings button in the top right corner, and select Security, under the Passkey section, click Enable.

    • Enter the 6-digit code from your authenticator app linked to your account, and click Add Passkey.

    • Select your browser’s password manager, or set up your device fingerprint or a PIN to save your passkey for use on backpack.exchange.

    • Then follow the on-screen instructions based on your selected method.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Passkeys

    Which devices and browsers support passkeys?

    Passkeys are supported on most modern devices and browsers, including iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and browsers such as Chrome, Safari, and Edge. Support may vary depending on your device and operating system version.

    Can I use passkeys across multiple devices?

    Yes. You can register multiple devices as passkeys for your account, allowing you to log in securely from different devices.

    What if I login from a new device?

    If you are using a new device, you can log in with your backup method (e.g., password and 2FA) and then set up a new passkey on that device.

    Do passkeys replace Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)?

    Passkeys can serve as a strong alternative to passwords and may reduce the need for 2FA in some cases. However, on certain high-security actions (e.g., withdrawals), additional 2FA may still be required.

    Where are my passkeys stored?

    Passkeys are stored securely on your device and may be synced via trusted services such as iCloud Keychain (Apple) or Google Password Manager. They are never stored on the exchange’s servers.

    What if my device is lost or stolen?

    If your device is lost, you can still log in using your backup login method (password + 2FA) and remove the lost device’s passkey from your account settings. For maximum security, update your account credentials immediately.

    Can someone steal my passkey?

    Passkeys cannot be phished or copied like traditional passwords. Even if a someone has your account email, they cannot access your account without your registered device and biometric/PIN verification.

    Can I turn off passleys after enabling them?

    Yes. You can disable Passkey at any time in your account security settings and revert to using your password + 2FA login method.

    Are passkeys required for withdrawals?

    By default, Passkeys are used for login authentication. For withdrawals and other sensitive actions, additional verification (such as 2FA) may still be required for enhanced security.

    Will using the TWAP strategy incur additional fees?

    Using the TWAP strategy does not incur additional fees. Users only pay standard trading fees based on actual matched trades.

    Is a longer running time and higher frequency always better?

    Not necessarily. Choose execution duration and frequency based on:

    Setting

    Advantages

    Risks

    Longer duration

    - Lower market impact - Closer to average market price

    - Exposed to longer volatility - Slower completion

    Shorter duration

    are TWAP orders guaranteed to execute?

    No. TWAP orders are executed based on market liquidity and may not fill completely if market conditions change.

    Are executed TWAP orders considered market or limit orders?

    TWAP orders are split into smaller market orders when executed. Each slice follows the current best bid/ask price with slight adjustments based on your randomization settings.

    Can TWAP run across multiple pairs or markets simultaneously?

    No. Each TWAP strategy instance supports only one trading pair. To use TWAP across multiple pairs, create separate strategy instances.

    Under what circumstances could a TWAP strategy fail or be interrupted?

    TWAP may fail or terminate early due to:

    • Insufficient account balance (Cannot place next sub-order)

    • Manual cancellation by the user

    • System errors or network issues (Maintenance, data issues, or connectivity disruptions)

    After interruption, no new orders will be placed. Check your strategy history for filled and unfilled parts.

    Does TWAP guarantee execution at or better than the target average price?

    No. TWAP's goal is to approximate the time-weighted average price. However, due to real-time price fluctuations and liquidity changes, final prices may deviate. The platform does not guarantee a specific execution price.

    Proper configuration of time, frequency, and price control parameters can help minimize deviation.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What are the fees for spot margin trading?

    Spot margin trading typically incurs the following fees:

    • Interest on Borrowed Funds – You are charged interest for borrowing funds. The rate varies depending on the currency. Simply select a different currency on the lending page to view the real-time lending and borrowing interest for that currency.

    • Trading Fees – Standard trading fees apply to buy and sell orders, which depend on your VIP level or maker/taker status.

    What is leverage in spot margin trading?

    Leverage allows you to control a larger position than your initial investment. For example, with 3x leverage, you can trade three times the amount of your deposited collateral. Leverage increases both the potential for profit and the risk of loss.

    Can I use spot margin trading with multiple leverage options?
    • Yes. You can select different leverage levels for each trade, depending on your risk tolerance and the specific pair you are trading. However, it’s important to consider the increased risk associated with higher leverage.

    • Please note that each currency has its own maximum leverage limit, which changes based on the position value.

    Can I be liquidated with spot margin trading?

    Liquidation occurs when your margin balance falls below the required maintenance margin. If this happens, your position will be automatically closed to repay the borrowed funds. This can result in a loss of your collateral.

    How do I avoid liquidation in spot margin trading?
    • Always monitor your account's MMR. At 100% or greater, your account will enter liquidation.

    • You can also set up Stop-Loss orders to automatically close your position if the market moves against you.

    Withdrawal Delay

    Withdrawal Delay adds a user-defined waiting period to withdrawals sent to new external addresses, giving you time to detect and stop unauthorized activity.


    Why Withdrawal Delay Is Needed?

    Withdrawal Delay is a last-line defense against irreversible on-chain mistakes and unauthorized transfers. It creates a short, controlled window to review, detect, and cancel suspicious withdrawals before they are broadcast to the blockchain.

    What it protects you from

    • Human error: Typos or copy-paste mistakes when sending to a new external address.

    • Clipboard hijacking/malware: Malicious software replacing the intended address with an attacker’s.

    • Account misuse: Unauthorized withdrawals initiated by someone who obtained your credentials.


    How To Enable Withdrawal Delay?

    1. Go to Settings.

      • Open the Security tab.

      • In the Withdrawal Delay row, click Enable.

    1. Choose a delay duration from the dropdown, then click Change.

    1. Complete verification:

    • Enter the Email verification code.

    • Enter the Authenticator app code.

    • Click Submit.

    1. 🎉All set!

    • When you initiate a withdrawal, you’ll see a notice at the bottom of the page confirming that Withdrawal Delay is enabled on your account.


    Scope & Applicability

    • Applies to:

      • Withdrawals to external wallet addresses that are not yet saved in your Address Book.

    • Does not apply to:

    Definition — “New address” Any external address not present in your Address Book at the time you submit the withdrawal, or saved more recently than your configured delay duration.


    How It Works (execution flow)

    1. Submit withdrawal to an external address.

    2. Eligibility check:

      • If the address is new (see definition above) → withdrawal is scheduled and held until the delay expires.

      • If the address has been saved


    Best Practices

    • Pre-save payout addresses and let them age past your delay to avoid operational friction.

    • Combine with for layered protection.

    • Keep ; review regularly.


    How To Change Your Delay Duration?

    Simply repeat the initial setup steps: go to Settings, open the Security tab, find Withdrawal Delay, click Enabled, and then follow the on-screen instructions.

    ⚠️Please note:

    • When you change the delay duration, the new value takes effect only after the currently active delay window expires.

    • Existing scheduled withdrawals keep their original release time.

    • Future withdrawals use the new delay once it becomes active.

    Example:If you change the delay from 24h to 12h while a 24h delay is active, the new 12h setting takes effect only after the current 24h window ends.


    Address Book

    • Add Address:

      • You’ll receive an email notification confirming the addition.

      • The “age” of the address starts at the moment it’s saved.

    • Withdrawals to Saved Addresses:

      • If the address has been in the Address Book longer than your current delay, the withdrawal is immediate.

    • Editing/Removing Addresses:


    ⚠️Urgent Withdrawals

    If you must move funds while a delay is active (e.g., operational urgency), please use the email address linked to your exchange account to contact [email protected] and request the delay cancellation. Our team will verify ownership and assess options.


    FAQs

    What happens if I shorten my delay right after scheduling a withdrawal?

    The scheduled withdrawal keeps its original release time. Your new, shorter delay applies only after the current delay window ends.

    If I add an address and immediately withdraw to it, does the delay apply?

    Yes. The address must be saved longer than your configured delay to qualify for immediate processing.

    Do API withdrawals follow the same rules?

    Yes. Withdrawals created via API are subject to the same delay checks and notifications as the UI.

    Does the delay affect fees or network confirmation time?

    No. The delay pauses before broadcast. Once released, normal network fees and confirmation times apply.

    Can I cancel a scheduled withdrawal during the delay?

    In this case, please use the email address linked to your exchange account to contact [email protected] and request the delay cancellation.

    TWAP

    A TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price) Order is an algorithmic trading strategy that splits a large order into smaller trades and executes them evenly over a specified time period. The goal is to achieve an average execution price close to the market’s time-weighted average price.

    When to Use?

    • When executing a large order that might otherwise move the market if placed all at once.

    • Suitable for institutional traders or whales seeking discreet execution with minimal market impact.

    • When you want steady execution over time, rather than immediate fulfillment at one price.


    Key Points

    • Helps minimize slippage and reduce market impact.

    • Execution is spread out over time at regular intervals.

    • Full order is usually completed as long as there is sufficient market liquidity.

    • Focuses on achieving a price close to the average over time, not a specific single price.

    Margin System

    Overview of Backpack’s Margin System

    Backpack’s margin system is designed to be simple and resilient. At a high level you:

    • keep one pool of collateral,

    Internal/subaccount transfers (processed immediately).
  • Withdrawals to addresses that have already been in your Address Book longer than the current delay.

  • longer
    than your current delay → withdrawal is
    processed immediately
    .
  • Countdown: A timer (e.g., “Scheduled for YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm UTC”) is shown in Withdrawal History.

  • Completion: Once the delay elapses, the withdrawal is automatically released to the network.

  • Removing and re-adding an address makes it new again (its age resets).

    earn yield on idle balances,
  • borrow automatically when you need to,

  • and isolate risk with sub-accounts.


  • Account & Efficiency

    Unified cross-margin. Your eligible assets (spot balances, perps margin, lending balances) live in one collateral pool, so you don’t have to shuffle funds between products.

    Sub-accounts for risk isolation. Create independent sub-accounts. Each has its own collateral, PnL, and margin—so a mistake in one doesn’t spill into another.

    Fewer transfers, more utility. Because funds are pooled, you can deploy capital quickly without moving assets around.


    Collateral Rules

    How collateral is valued. Collateral Value = Quantity × Mark Price × Collateral Weight (a haircut).

    • Weights vary by asset (more volatile/less liquid → lower weight).

    • Size tiers / concentration controls: very large balances may receive a lower marginal weight to limit concentration risk.

    • Dynamic updates: weights can change with market/liquidity conditions; see the live table here for current values.

    👉For more details about Collateral, please refer to the and sections in the technical docs.


    Equity & Margin Terms

    Net Equity = Total Collateral Value + Unrealized PnL + Unsettled Balances − Borrowed Liabilities. Available Equity = Net Equity − Locked Equity (reserved for open orders/positions).

    IMR (Initial Margin Requirement). Measures how much equity is committed to current exposure.

    • At 100% IMR, you can’t increase exposure (no new/size-up positions).

    MMR (Maintenance Margin Requirement). Minimum equity required to keep positions open.

    • At 100% MMR, liquidation protection triggers.

    👉 For full formulas and examples, see the the and sections in the technical docs


    Yield & PnL

    Auto-lend. Eligible assets in your margin wallet can be lent into the pool and accrue yield while still counting as collateral. Rates vary with pool utilization.

    PnL treatment. PnL is continuously realized and flows into Net Equity without requiring you to close positions. Profits increase usable equity; losses reduce it.

    Interest interactions. Borrowed balances accrue interest continuously; surplus balances may earn via auto-lend. Funding paid/received on perps posts to PnL and therefore Net Equity each interval.

    👉See the page for more detailed information


    Borrowing

    • Auto-Borrowing: When executing trades that exceed available balances (e.g., short-selling), the system automatically borrows the deficit from the lending pool.

    • Manual Borrowing: Users can manually borrow assets via the borrow/ lend interface.

    • Repayment Methods:

      • proceeds from auto-lend,

      • repurchasing the borrowed asset, or

      • manual repay in the Borrow dashboard.

    👉For more information about how Borrowing and Lending works, refer to the technical docs


    Risk & Liquidation

    Transparent Risk Engine

    • Dynamic Interest Rates: Borrowing costs adjust based on pool utilization — higher utilization drives higher rates.

    • Public parameters: collateral weights, IMR/MMR thresholds, and rate curves can be found here

    • Real-time monitoring: positions and margin health are checked continuously using mark prices from exchange/oracle sources.

    Liquidation flow

    • Trigger: when MMR reaches 100%.

    • Partial first: the system reduces exposure incrementally to restore margin health.

    • Orderbook then backstop: liquidations route through the orderbook first; any remainder can be closed to backstop liquidity providers.

    For full technical details, see the

    Important Update (Effective October 6, 2025 — 07:00 UTC)

    We’re introducing a liquidation fee.

    • Rate: 1% on all system-triggered perps and borrow/spot-margin liquidations.

    • Scope: Applied only to the filled amount of each liquidation order (per fill).

    • Unchanged: Regular user trades and fees are unaffected.

    If you have any questions, please reach out to [email protected].


    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why is my 50x maximum leverage not taking effect?

    The 50x leverage setting may not apply if the trading pair has its own maximum leverage limit or if additional risk parameters are in place. Please check the leverage limits for the specific market you are trading.

    Why am I unable to open a position even though my account has sufficient funds?
    • In such cases, it is usually because the remaining net equity in your account is insufficient to support the minimum margin requirement for the new position. You may try reducing the position size to open a new position until your account’s IMR equals 100%.

    • Once your account margin ratio reaches ≥ 100%, you will no longer be able to open new positions.

    Why does my account still have a balance after liquidation (partial liquidation)?
    • This happens because Backpack utilises a gradual liquidation mechanism. When your Maintenance Margin Ratio (MMR) exceeds 100%, the system will attempt to minimize losses by liquidating only the portion necessary to restore your account to a healthy state. (By contrast, some exchanges may fully liquidate your position at this point.)

    • However, please note that if the market continues moving against you for a prolonged period and you do not add collateral, or close your position in time, even partial liquidations may continuously erode your funds until the balance is fully depleted.

    Why was my position liquidated even though it was still far from the estimated liquidation price?
    • The estimated liquidation price is only a reference. Actual liquidation is triggered when MMR ≥ 100%.

    • In addition, Backpack follows a cross-margin model, where all positions within a sub-account share the same margin balance, and PnL from different positions can offset each other. If the sub-account holds complex positions (e.g., borrowing, using another asset as margin while also shorting it), the system may not be able to provide an accurate estimated liquidation price, since multiple factors influence the calculation and the functions involved are relatively complex.

    How are liquidation fees charged

    A 1% Liquidation fee is charged per order-book conversion when the system liquidates your account (deducted from proceeds; not charged on user-closed positions).

    How can I view liquidated positions?
    • If a borrow position was liquidated, please visit: https://backpack.exchange/portfolio/borrow-lend/liquidations

    • If a futures position was liquidated, please visit: https://backpack.exchange/portfolio/futures/liquidations

    Order Type

    Lending

    How can I earn interest on my assets?

    1. Go to the Lend section at the top of your screen

    2. Select the asset you wish to lend, specify the amount, and click Lend.

    3. Enable auto-lending

    Earn extra SOL lending rewards

    Additional earnings on Backpack come from staking rewards. Backpack operates a validator on the Solana network, and any block rewards earned through on-chain staking are passed directly back to users.

    Reward Distribution

    • Staking APY The staking APY varies depending on the total amount of SOL staked on the platform.

    • Reward Schedule Rewards are typically distributed every Friday, based on the on-chain Solana epoch schedule. If the current epoch hasn’t ended by Friday, rewards will roll over and be included in the following week’s distribution.

    • Source of Rewards Rewards are distributed proportionally and come from:

    Yield Calculation

    Yield is calculated based on a user’s share of total lending on the platform throughout each Solana epoch.

    • The system takes multiple snapshots during each epoch to track:

      • How much each user has lent

      • Relative to the total lending pool on the platform

    Notes on Performance & Variability

    • This is a best-effort distribution of staking returns from deployed assets.

    • Actual yields may differ from advertised rates due to:

      • Validator performance

      • Warm-up and cooldown periods of stake accounts

    How to Start Earning?

    To begin earning staking rewards:

    1. Enable the Auto Lend feature in your Backpack account.

    2. Your SOL will be automatically staked—no manual steps needed.

    3. While staked:

      • Your SOL continues to earn rewards

    This gives users the dual benefit of passive yield and active asset utility.


    Earn extra USD lending rewards

    The additional yield on Backpack’s stablecoin comes from returns generated by the internal stablecoin pool.

    When you deposit:

    • Fiat

    • USDC

    • Or other supported stablecoins (e.g., pyUSD, coming soon)

    ...your assets are automatically converted to Backpack USD at a 1:1 ratio.

    What Is Backpack USD?

    Backpack USD is an internal unit of account used exclusively within the Backpack Exchange. It is:

    • Not directly withdrawable

    • Designed to improve user experience and share yield benefits

    Two Key Purposes:

    1. Smoother User Experience Enables instant, fee-free conversions between fiat and USDC, with no manual steps required.

    2. Sharing Stablecoin Yield Redistributes the earnings typically retained by stablecoin issuers—such as staking rewards or on-chain yield—back to users.

    Yield Distribution Details

    • Frequency: Monthly

    • Type: Extra APY (annual percentage yield) applied to your Backpack USD balance

    • Source: Earnings from the platform’s internal stablecoin pool

    How to Start Earning?

    To earn stablecoin yield:

    1. Enable the Auto Lend feature in your account settings

    2. Your USD will automatically start earning interest, no further action needed

    3. While lent, your USD:

      • Continues earning rewards

    No lockups, no hidden steps—just passive yield while staying fully flexible.

    Borrowing

    How to Borrow?

    1. Ensure you have sufficient collateral in your account.

    2. Navigate to the Lend section and switch to the Borrow tab.

    3. Choose the asset you want to borrow, enter the desired amount, and confirm the transaction.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much can I borrow on Backpack Exchange?

    Your borrowing capacity depends on your remaining available equity—the higher your available equity, the more you can borrow.

    This is determined by your subaccount leverage setting, the token’s maximum borrowable leverage under different Notional Borrow Size tiers, and your net margin equity.

    No manual calculation is needed—you can easily view the maximum borrowable amount for your sub-account directly under the borrow button on the lending page.

    Adjusting subaccount leverage for borrowing?
    1. On the Futures or Lending page, go to the Order Placement section.

    2. Next to “Cross Margin Overview”, you will see the leverage indicator. Click on it to adjust the setting.

    Viewing maximum leverage by notional borrow size?
    1. Click “Lending” to enter the Lending page.

    2. Under the “Models” tab, click “Margin.”

    Why can’t I borrow funds?
    1. The initial margin ratio has reached 100%, which means you no longer have any available equity to use as collateral for borrowing.You can borrow funds once you've either added more margin or reduced your position size, bringing the initial margin ratio below 100%.

    2. When the auto-lend feature is enabled, borrowing can only occur through spot margin or withdrawals. If you wish to initiate a manual borrow,simply click the lightning icon next to the leverage multiplier to disable the auto-lend feature. Once it’s turned off, you’ll be able to proceed with the manual loan.

    What fees are associated with borrowing on Backpack Exchange?
    1. Once a position is opened, an entry fee is immediately charged. This fee is equivalent to a portion of the hourly interest.

    For example, if you collateralize 1 BTC and borrow 2,000 USDC at 12:50 AM, and the next interest calculation occurs at 1:00 AM, then the 10 minutes of accrued interest will be your opening fee.

    How do I repay a borrow?

    To repay your borrowed assets:

    1. Go to the Lend section and switch to the Borrow tab.

    2. Select the asset you wish to repay, enter the repayment amount, and confirm the transaction.

    You can also enable Auto Lend, which will automatically use available balances to repay loans when possible.

    Can I withdraw my collateral while I have an open borrow position?

    Yes, you can withdraw a portion of your collateral, provided that doing so doesn’t lower your margin level below the required thresholds. If withdrawing collateral would put your account at risk of liquidation, the system will prevent the withdrawal.

    Always check your margin level before attempting to withdraw.

    Can I opt out of using specific assets as collateral?

    On Backpack Exchange, your account operates on a cross-margin basis, meaning all eligible assets are used as collateral by default. There is no option to disable or opt out of using specific assets as collateral within the same account.

    The only way to prevent an asset from being used as collateral is to move it to a sub-account, isolating it from your main account’s margin positions.

    What happens if the value of my collateral drops while I have an open borrow position?

    If the value of your collateral decreases significantly, your margin level will also drop. If it falls below the Maintenance Margin Fraction, your positions will be at risk of liquidation.

    The system will automatically sell off your collateral to repay the borrowed funds.

    To prevent this, monitor your margin level and add more collateral if needed.

    How does the liquidation process work for borrowed funds?

    If your Maintenance Margin Ratio reaches 100%, the liquidation engine will begin reducing your positions and selling collateral in an orderly manner to cover the borrowed amount. This helps protect both you and the platform.

    If your account is liquidated, the engine may sell or convert assets on the order book. A 1% fee is charged for each order-book conversion performed during liquidation

    Can I use borrowed funds for trading on Backpack Exchange?

    Yes, you can use borrowed funds for both spot and margin trading. This feature provides extra capital to take advantage of market opportunities.

    However, using leverage increases your risk, so it’s important to manage your collateral carefully and monitor your margin level to avoid liquidation.

    Trading Bots

    What Is a Grid Bot?

    A Grid Bot is an automated trading tool that executes buy and sell orders within a predefined price range. It divides that range into multiple "grids" (price levels) and automatically places orders at each level—buying at lower prices and selling at higher prices.

    Grid bots are typically used in range-bound markets where prices oscillate within a defined range. Performance depends entirely on market conditions and configuration—grid bots do not guarantee profits and may result in losses.

    Key Features

    • Automated Execution — Trades execute automatically based on your configured parameters, with no manual order placement required.

    • Two-Way Trading — The bot places buy orders at lower grid levels and sell orders at higher levels.

    • Flexible Configuration — Customize price ranges, grid count, investment amount, and other parameters to match your strategy.

    • Real-Time Monitoring


    Understanding the Bot Hierarchy

    Before setting up your bot, it's important to understand how bots and grids are organized:

    Level
    Scope
    Description

    Example: You create a bot subaccount called "My Grid Bot." Within that bot, you can set up a SOL/USD grid and a BTC/USD grid—each with its own price range, grid count, and investment amount.

    Tip: Hover over any parameter in the interface to see its tooltip for additional guidance.


    How to Set Up a Grid Bot?

    Step 1: Create a Grid Bot

    1. Log in to your exchange account.

    2. Click on your account avatar.

    3. Click the "+" icon next to Bot Accounts.

    1. Enter a name for your bot (e.g., "SOL Grid Strategy").

    2. Click Add subaccount.

    Step 2: Fund Your Bot

    Transfer funds to your bot subaccount using one of these methods:

    Step 3: Select the Trading Pair

    1. Enter your bot subaccount.

    2. Navigate to the Bots section.

    3. Choose Futures Trading.

    4. Select your target trading pair (e.g., SOL-PERP).

    Step 4: Configure Parameters

    1. Set the Price Lower Limit — The lowest price in your grid range.

    2. Set the Price Upper Limit — The highest price in your grid range.

    3. Enter the Number of Grids — How many price levels to create within the range.

    4. Enter the Total Grid Value — The capital allocated to this grid.

    Note: More grids = more frequent trades with smaller price differences between levels. Fewer grids = less frequent trades with larger price differences between levels.


    Bot Management

    Understanding Bot ON/OFF States

    The ON/OFF toggle controls whether the bot is actively managing trades for the entire subaccount.

    State
    What Happens

    ⚠️ Key Point: If the bot is ON but you have no active grids, no trading will occur. The bot needs at least one grid to execute trades.

    ⚠️ Manual Trading Restriction: You cannot manually place orders in a bot subaccount while the bot is ON. Turn the bot OFF first if you need to intervene manually.

    Adjusting Grid Settings

    To modify an active grid:

    1. Go to the Grids tab.

    2. Select Edit.

    3. Adjust parameters such as:

      • Expanding or narrowing the price range

    Deleting a Grid

    1. Go to the Grids tab.

    2. Select Delete.

    3. Choose whether to close all remaining positions automatically.


    Take-Profit and Stop-Loss Settings

    ⚠️ Important: Take-profit and stop-loss apply to the entire bot subaccount, not to individual grids.

    Stop-Loss

    Defines a drawdown threshold that will stop the bot when reached.

    How it works:

    • The bot tracks the starting equity of your subaccount from the moment the strategy is activated.

    • If equity falls X% below the starting equity, the bot stops automatically.

    Example: Starting equity is $1,500. With a 20% stop-loss setting, the bot stops if equity drops to $1,200.

    Take-Profit

    Defines an equity threshold that will pause the bot when reached.

    How it works:

    • The bot tracks the starting equity of your subaccount from the moment the strategy is activated.

    • If equity rises X% above the starting equity, the bot pauses automatically.

    Example: Starting equity was $1,000. With a 20% take-profit setting, the bot pauses when equity reaches $1,200.

    Auto-Close Positions

    When setting up take-profit or stop-loss, you can choose whether to automatically close all positions when either threshold is triggered.


    Risk Warnings

    Market Risks

    • No Guarantee of Profit — Grid bots do not guarantee returns. Users may lose some or all of their invested capital.

    • Market Conditions — Grid strategies are designed for range-bound markets. Trending markets, breakouts, or unexpected volatility can result in significant losses.

    • Liquidation Risk — When using leverage or futures grids, price movements may trigger liquidation or forced closure, resulting in loss of funds.

    Technical Risks

    • Exchange-Side Issues — While your local network doesn't affect the bot (it runs on the exchange), exchange system instability may temporarily interrupt strategy execution.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

    Does the Grid Bot guarantee profits?

    No. Grid bots do not guarantee profits. You may lose some or all of your invested capital depending on market conditions, configuration, and other factors.

    What happens if the price moves outside my grid range?

    If the price moves above your upper limit or below your lower limit, the bot will not execute new trades until the price re-enters the range. Depending on your positions, this may result in unrealized losses.

    What happens if the price range is set too wide?

    Trade frequency decreases, but price differences between grid levels increase.

    How do I choose the number of grids?
    • High volatility → More grids

    • Low volatility → Fewer grids

    Users may consider historical volatility when configuring.

    Can I stop the strategy at any time?

    Yes. When stopping, you can choose whether to close all positions automatically or leave them open.

    Why can't I trade manually in my bot subaccount?

    When the bot is ON, manual trading is disabled to prevent conflicts between your orders and the bot's automated strategy. Turn the bot OFF if you need to trade manually.

    Can I run multiple grids in one bot subaccount?

    Yes. A single bot subaccount can contain multiple grids for different trading pairs. Each grid operates independently on its symbol. Note that take-profit and stop-loss settings apply to the entire subaccount, not individual grids.
