Important distinction
A stock perp is a synthetic derivative. It is not a broker account, not a share certificate, and not ownership of the company named by the ticker.

Direct answer

A stock perp is a perpetual futures-style contract whose oracle is intended to reference an equity or equity-like index. Traders get long or short price exposure through the perp, not ownership of the underlying stock.

Stock perps can trade outside traditional equity-market hours and can diverge from the referenced stock because of funding, liquidity, oracle updates, market halts, corporate actions, or deployer settings.

How to think about the risk

  • Funding can make a position expensive to hold even if the price is flat.
  • Basis can open between the perp and the underlying equity reference price.
  • Oracle quality matters because the perp needs a reliable external reference.
  • Liquidity can differ sharply from the underlying stock market.
  • Corporate actions, market holidays, and after-hours moves can create extra complexity.
