Frequently asked questions
οΌWhat is a funding rate?
Funding is a periodic payment exchanged between long and short perpetual traders to keep the contract price near the spot price.
οΌWho pays funding?
When the rate is positive, longs pay shorts; when negative, shorts pay longs. It's typically settled every 8 hours.
οΌHow much does funding cost per year?
Multiply the per-interval rate by the number of intervals per day and by 365. Small rates compound into large annual costs.
