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.
