Which venues list RUNE
3 of the perp DEXs this site covers list a RUNE perpetual. Each uses its own ticker for the same underlying — shown below so you can confirm you're on the right market before sizing a position.
| Venue | Ticker there | Contract tracks | Max leverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hyperliquid | RUNE | 1 unit | 5x |
| dYdX | RUNE-USD | 1 unit | 5x implied — see note below Maintenance margin 10% |
| Variational | RUNE | 1 unit | not published on the public API |
Venue coverage from each exchange's own public market-list endpoint, snapshot 2026-10-07. Tickers are reproduced exactly as the venue publishes them. Where a venue doesn't publish a leverage cap without an authenticated key, this table says so rather than estimating one.
On the implied dYdX figure: dYdX doesn't publish a max-leverage number. The figure above is 1 ÷ the market's initial margin fraction, which is the leverage that margin requirement allows. Treat it as a reading taken at the snapshot date, not a fixed venue setting — per dYdX's help centre, once a market's open interest passes its lower cap the initial margin fraction rises, which pushes the usable leverage down (all the way to 1x at the upper cap). dYdX doesn't document whether the published fraction already reflects that scaling, so we don't claim either way. Maintenance margin, where shown, is a stated field rather than a derivation: it's the equity ratio below which the position is liquidated.

How trading RUNE perps works here
Like every Hyperliquid perp, RUNE-USD trades on a fully on-chain central limit order book with no gas fee per trade — costs are the maker/taker fee (fee schedule) plus hourly peer-to-peer funding. Margin can be cross or isolated; maintenance margin is half the initial margin at this market's 5x cap — the full liquidation math is in our leverage & liquidation guide.
At 5x maximum leverage, initial margin for a RUNE position is 1/5 of notional at minimum — and the higher the leverage, the closer liquidation sits to entry. New to the instrument entirely? Read perpetuals explained first, and our Hyperliquid review for the venue itself, including the risks.
RUNE's 5x cap is on the cautious side of Hyperliquid's range. It's enough leverage to amplify a move without the thin margin buffer of the majors — a ceiling the exchange tends to set on markets with real but limited depth.
RUNE also trades on dYdX and Variational. Fee schedules and funding mechanics are set per venue, not per asset — compare them on fee comparison and live funding rates, and see the feature comparison for order types, collateral, and everything else each venue supports.
