Rescue UI
Rescue Mode
Rescue Mode is a stripped-down version of Perpl that lets you close positions and withdraw funds even when the main app is unavailable. It is hosted as a standalone single-page app, and depends on nothing from our servers or frontend infrastructure.
If the main site is down, your funds are still safe and still yours to move.
Why it exists
A perpetual futures DEX is only as trustworthy as your ability to exit. Most of the time, you'll never see Rescue Mode – but if our frontend goes offline, a node provider has an outage, or anything else takes the main app down, you should never be locked out of your own money.
Because Rescue Mode talks directly to the chain, it keeps working when the rest of the stack doesn't.
What it can do
Rescue Mode is reduce-only. It is intentionally limited to the actions you need to protect your account:
View your open positions and orders
Close positions, fully or partially
Close all positions at once
Cancel open orders
Withdraw your funds
You cannot open new positions, increase existing ones, or place new entry orders. This is by design – Rescue Mode is an exit, not a trading terminal.
What you'll see
Account panel
Maintenance Margin — the minimum margin required to keep your positions open
Available Margin — margin not currently committed to positions
Balance — your total account balance
Unrealized PnL — open profit or loss across your positions
Close ALL positions — a single action to flatten your entire account
Positions and Orders
Each position shows its market, side and leverage (e.g. BTC Long 10x), size, mark price, and liquidation price, along with partial-close controls. The Orders tab lists any resting orders, which you can cancel.
How to use it
If the main app is down, Perpl will direct you to Rescue Mode automatically
Open the Rescue Mode site (automatically or via https://recovery.perpl.xyz/.)
Connect the same wallet you use to trade on Perpl.
Review your positions and orders.
Close positions partially or fully, cancel orders, and withdraw as needed.
How it works
Rescue Mode reads your account state directly from the chain and submits reduce-only and withdrawal transactions straight to the smart contracts — no API, no backend, no dependency on Perpl's servers. As long as the network is running and you can reach an IPFS gateway, you can act on your account.
Good to know
You'll usually be sent here automatically. If the main app is down, Perpl points you to Rescue Mode.
Prices may look different. Rescue Mode is built for safety and resilience, not for precise execution – expect a simpler view than the main trading app.
It's reduce-only. If you want to open or add to positions, use the main Perpl app once it's back.
Your funds are always yours. Rescue Mode exists so that your ability to exit never depends on us being online.
