***

YEX perps are designed to make the inaccessible, tradable using perpetual mechanics.

* The market references an annualized rate or **index process** `r(t)`.
* PnL accrues via a **cumulative index** that integrates that rate over time.

A common form is

`I(t) = ∫ r(s) / 8760 ds`

where `8760` is hours/year (used to convert annualized rates into a continuously accruing stream).

Different markets define `r(t)` differently (funding, implied vol roll, Treasury yields), but the goal is consistent: **make time tradeable in an order book**.
