Mark price

Mark price is the fair price of a perpetual contract, and is used for margining, liquidations, stop/limit triggers, funding rates, and computing unrealized PnL.

Mark prices, along with oracle prices, are updated approximately every 3 seconds.

For private companies on Ventuals, you trade valuations, not shares. The price of the perp contract is the company valuation divided by 1 billion for easy readability. For example: if the valuation of SpaceX on Ventuals is at $420.69B, then the price of 1 SPACEX= $420.69.
