To avoid unnecessarily forced liquidation of high-leverage products. Without this system, the marking price may deviate unnecessarily from the price index due to manipulated market or lack of liquidity, thus leading to unnecessarily forced liquidation. 

 

Marking price(Reasonable price) = index-based price * (1 + basis rate of funding cost)

 

For BitMart perpetual swap, its reasonable marking price is the index-based price with reference to the price of the global spot market plus the funding cost basis that decreases over time.
