Blofin: Our Main Exchange in Detail

Blofin is the exchange SonarSignal builds on by default. Here is why — and what speaks against it.

What Blofin is

A centralised exchange focused on perpetual futures. More than 350 contracts, leverage up to 150x, plus a dedicated copy trading section with a public leaderboard. Spot trading runs alongside but is not the core.

The fees

In futures, 0.02% as maker and 0.06% as taker, falling to zero maker across five VIP tiers. Spot costs a flat 0.10%. For a signal strategy the taker fee matters most, because entries rarely get to wait.

Where the money sits

Custody runs through Fireblocks in cold storage, alongside a 1:1 proof of reserves, transaction screening via Chainalysis, two-factor login and passkeys, and an ISO 27001 certificate. That is more evidence than the average in this field provides.

Why we run it as our main exchange

Three reasons. Futures fees are low enough that a signal strategy is not ground down by them. The API is stable enough for automated orders. And we hold a broker account through which we can agree limits and request volumes directly — something you cannot do with an exchange that does not know you.

What you should know before signing up

Blofin is not a European-regulated exchange. There is no deposit protection, and in a dispute German law does not apply. Withdrawals of up to 20,000 USDT a day are possible without identity verification — convenient, but it also means your account is not tied to a verified person.

And leverage up to 150x is a possibility, not a recommendation. At 150x a move of two thirds of one percent is enough to liquidate the position. We run far below that, and so should you.
