# Open Interest & Leverage

## **Open Interest**

**Open interest** refers the total amount of outstanding derivative contracts held by traders that has not been settled at the end of a trading day.

## **Leverage**

Centralized exchanges may offer higher leverage of up to 125x, but traders most frequently utilize leverage at the lower end of the range. To ensure that traders comfortably make their trades in a safe and trusted environment, tatadex offers an optimal amount of leverage to meet the needs of individual traders in the community.

We are now offering **up to 50x leverage** on tatadex for selected perpetual contracts.
