This is a quick guide on how to use the Payoff function on the Deriverse testnet. This function is central to settling your derivative trades on Deriverse, particularly after the expiration of futures or options contracts.

What is the Payoff Function?

The Payoff function is a tool in the Deriverse platform that enables settlement after a derivative instrument, like a futures or options contract, expires. In derivatives trading, a contract is created between parties, agreeing to exchange a certain value based on the price of an underlying asset at a future date. To ensure that both parties meet their obligations, they put down collateral—funds held to back their position.

When a derivative instrument expires, the Payoff function reallocates collateral based on the outcome of the trade, which reflects any profits or losses for each party.

How to Use the Payoff Function

Once your derivative position has expired, you may have accrued profits. However, these profits won’t automatically transfer to your account. Here’s how to use the Payoff function to settle your trades and claim any USDC you are entitled to:

1. Navigate to your Derivatives portfolio.

2. Click on the three dots next to the expired position.

3. Select “Payoff.”

This action will trigger the settlement process, and the P&L amount will be credited to your account.

In summary, the Payoff function ensures smooth settlement for your expired derivative positions, enabling you to receive any due profits in your account.
