Can you please explain what exactly is the mark price in Delta Exchange and how does it differ from the last traded price or the spot price? I'm particularly interested in how this mechanism works in ensuring fairness and preventing manipulation in the platform's futures trading. Also, does it factor in the liquidity of the underlying asset or any other external factors when calculating the mark price? It would be great if you could provide a concise yet comprehensive overview of the concept. What is the mark price in Delta Exchange?

The fair market price of a cryptocurrency is determined through a sophisticated calculation involving the order book. Specifically, the bid and offer prices for a pre-determined order size, commonly referred to as the impact size, are averaged to arrive at the mark price.

This mark price is not arbitrary but is constrained within a specific range defined by the risk engine of Delta Exchange. This engine serves as a safeguard to ensure that the price remains stable and does not deviate significantly from its fair value.

The risk engine at Delta Exchange employs a proprietary model for calculating implied volatility (IV). Implied volatility is a crucial metric in assessing the potential risk associated with a cryptocurrency and is essential for determining fair pricing.
