Step 4: Choose the Underlying Token and Settlement Token accordingly. The current base and quote token price will be automatically derived from the price oracle chosen.

In a perpetuals contract, the underlying token is the cryptocurrency being traded at a given price, without an expiry date. For example, when trading ETH perpetuals, ETH is the underlying token. If the perpetual contract is settled in USD, USD is the settlement token.

Step 5: Ensure that the details are correct, then click on the "Create" button.

Step 6: Perpetual market successfully created!

That's it! Your market has been permissionlessly created. You can now start trading on the market.
