Our verdict on Mooncake

Mooncake may interest Solana users looking for permissionless tokenized perpetual markets, and its description identifies RateX as the platform behind it. The main caveat is the lack of published trading details: supported assets, fees, funding, leverage, and liquidation rules are unclear. Two audits are listed, but their scope and findings are not specified. Treat Mooncake as a high-risk derivatives platform and verify the terms in the app before considering a trade.

Pros and cons

What we like

  • The product is identified as a tokenized perpetual market rather than a general-purpose trading app.
  • It is listed on Solana.
  • The project lists two audits, although their scope and findings are unclear.

Watch out for

  • Mooncake does not publish detailed information about how its markets work or what assets are supported.
  • Trading fees, funding rates, leverage limits, and liquidation rules are not published.
  • The two listed audits are not identified here, so their scope and findings are unclear.
  • Perpetual trading can expose users to rapid losses, including liquidation risk.

Mooncake fees

Mooncake does not publish its trading fees, funding rates, or other trading costs in the product description. Check the app’s market and order screens for any costs shown before trading.

Is Mooncake safe?

Mooncake lists two audits, but their names, dates, scope, and findings are not specified. An audit does not eliminate smart-contract or market risk. The project’s custody model and incident history are not published.

Perpetual trading can involve liquidation and substantial losses. Licensing and KYC requirements are not published; check that trading is legal where you live. Users should be 18 or older and trade responsibly.

4 steps

How to get started with Mooncake

  1. 1

    Open the Mooncake app and review its current market information.

  2. 2

    Confirm that you can use the service legally where you live and understand the risks of perpetual trading.

  3. 3

    Check the app for supported markets, fees, funding rates, leverage, and liquidation terms before placing an order.

  4. 4

    If those terms are not clear, do not trade until you have confirmed them.

Who Mooncake is for

Mooncake may suit experienced Solana users who understand perpetual derivatives and are willing to verify market terms themselves. It is a poor fit for anyone who needs clearly published fees, leverage and liquidation rules, or detailed audit information before trading.
