Perpetual contracts, designed to track the underlying price through a funding swap mechanism, have
gained significant popularity in cryptocurrency markets. However, observed price discrepancies
between perpetual contracts and the underlying asset cannot be explained solely by transaction fees.
By examining the impact of the clamping function inherent in the funding swap mechanism -- an
overlooked aspect in existing literature -- we derive model-free no-arbitrage bounds for perpetual

We develop a dynamic portfolio model incorporating capital gains tax (CGT), transaction costs, and
