Decentralized perpetual futures have become one of the most talked-about products in crypto. Recently, they’ve dominated trader conversations and headlines, showing that demand for on-chain futures is stronger than ever.
Blum, the fast-growing crypto app inside Telegram, has launched Perpetual Futures (Perps) trading. Now, over 95 million users can open futures positions directly in Telegram without extra apps.
Blum is one of the first mini-apps to bring a full Perps experience into Telegram. Traders can go long or short on 20 assets – including BTC, ETH, TON – with up to 100x leverage, using tools like stop-loss and take-profit. The interface is simple and feels like Telegram itself.
Perpetual futures, or perps, are contracts that let you trade on the price of a coin without actually owning it. Unlike regular futures, they never expire – you can keep your trade open for minutes, days, or months.
With perps you can:
– Earn when prices go up or down
– Use leverage (up to 100x) to increase exposure
– Protect yourself with stop-loss and take-profit
– Hedge your coins without selling them
Every trade has a liquidation price – if the market moves too far against you, your position is closed automatically. The higher your leverage, the closer that liquidation point is.

Blum makes futures trading as easy as chatting with a friend.
– No downloads
– No seed phrases or browser extensions
– Just one tap to start
To trade, you only need USDT on the TON network and a little TON for gas fees. At launch, Blum Perps use a cross-margin wallet: your full Perps balance supports all trades. This gives more flexibility but means one losing trade can affect your overall balance.
Blum also uses funding rates – a small fee between longs and shorts every 8 hours. Sometimes you pay, sometimes you receive, depending on the market.
As Gleb Kostarev, Co-Founder & CEO of Blum, said:
“This is not just another feature – it’s a big step in how people can trade and learn strategies right where they already spend their time: inside Telegram.”
Blum Perps start with 20 popular tokens: BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL, TON, TRON, TRUMP, XRP, PEPE, DOGE, SHIB, SUI, JUP, AAVE, ADA, AVAX, LINK, UNI, VIRTUAL, WIF.
More tokens will be added step by step.
