Where a SOL position gets liquidated
Entry at $121.60, $1,000 of margin. The quick rule is 100 ÷ leverage; the estimate includes Kalshi's maintenance margin (opening margin ÷ 1.3). Kalshi's app shows your exact figure once a position is open.
| Leverage | Quick rule | Long liquidates at | Short liquidates at |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2x | 50% | $77.35 (36.4%) | $146.10 (20.2%) |
| 3x | 33% | $103.14 (15.2%) | $129.86 (6.8%) |
Run your own SOL position
The quick rule (100 ÷ leverage) says 33%. Kalshi's maintenance margin eats part of that cushion, so the real distance is closer to 15.2%. Estimate from Kalshi's published risk parameters; the app shows your exact number once the position is open.
No Solana contract on the current Solana monthly one-touch ladder covers $103.13 with a two-sided book right now. Lower the leverage or check back when next month's ladder lists.
Live from Kalshi's public perps API, Sep 25, 2026, 9:30 PM ET. Funding uses the SOL 30-day average per 8-hour window (+0.0032%); a single print can run to Kalshi's ±2% cap. Liquidation ignores fees and funding already paid, which pull it closer. See every print on the Solana perps page.
What to know about Solana perps
Solana funds three times a day like every Kalshi crypto perp. Smaller coins get less leverage than Bitcoin and Ethereum, and on most of them shorts have paid longs more often than the other way around.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the funding rate on Kalshi Solana perps?
Solana funds three times a day, at 12 a.m., 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. ET. Since launch the average has worked out to 0.6% a year paid by longs, and 91% of the 343 prints paid nothing because Kalshi rounds rates under 0.01% to zero. The most recent print was +0.0270%.
How much leverage can I use on Kalshi Solana perps?
At a $1,000 position Kalshi allowed about 3.6x long and 3.1x short when this page last refreshed. Bigger positions get less. A 3x long sat about 15.2% above its liquidation price, because Kalshi liquidates at maintenance margin, not at zero.
What are the fees on Kalshi Solana perps?
Kalshi charges perps fees on the full notional value of the position (margin × leverage), once to open and once to close. At the entry tier that is 0.120% for a taker fill and 0.020% for a resting maker fill; rates step down as your 30-day volume grows, and Kalshi counts your prediction-market volume toward that tier, not just perps.
Can I hedge a Solana perp with a Kalshi event contract?
Yes. Kalshi lists a Solana monthly one-touch ladder. Its contracts pay $1 if the price trades through the strike at any point before the deadline, so the strike nearest your liquidation price works as liquidation insurance. The perps calculator on this page finds the right strike and prices it.
Perps carry leverage and can lose your entire margin quickly. Numbers are read from Kalshi's public API and our own math; PredictionMarketsPicks is independent of Kalshi. Trade responsibly.
