What is a perpetual funding rate?

A periodic payment between long and short traders that nudges the perp price toward the index. Positive funding means longs pay shorts.

Why is funding positive or negative?

It reflects whether longs or shorts are more crowded versus the index price.

How often is funding paid?

It varies by venue: hourly on Hyperliquid, dYdX, LP cross-exchange, and LP pool accrual; 4h on edgeX; 8h on many CEX perps; continuous on Paradex, GMX, and LP pool.

How do I compare 1h vs 8h rates?

Normalize to an hourly rate: 0.01% per 8h equals 0.00125% per hour (~10.95% APR).

Why do gold or FX perps show closed on weekends?

Traditional markets pause Friday 21:00 UTC through Sunday 22:00 UTC; we label that when venues do not provide a flag.

Is funding the only holding cost?

No. GMX and LP pool markets also charge borrowing or holding fees, so long and short costs can differ.

LeverUp on this dashboard

LeverUp lists gold, FX, indices and stocks as perps you trade from a web3 wallet with up to 50x leverage (from data). Its traditional-asset markets and major crypto markets such as BTC and ETH are routed to Hyperliquid, so their funding equals Hyperliquid's; the difference is leverage and wallet-based trading, not cheaper funding. Only its on-chain pool crypto markets (BNB, DOGE, LINK, LIT, MON, PEPE, QNT, SOL, SUI, TRX, UNI, XMR, XRP, ZEC) charge a funding rate plus a per-side holding fee, so long and short costs differ.

Methodology

Short version (the full methodology page has the formulas and caveats): we pull public funding endpoints from each venue every 10 minutes, normalize rates to an hourly decimal (rate per interval ÷ interval hours), then derive 8h and simple APR (×24×365). Sign convention: positive means longs pay shorts. Binance and Bybit fall back to Hyperliquid predictedFundings when direct APIs are geo-blocked. GMX publishes an annualised rate (scaled by 1e30), which we divide by 8,760; GMX is shown in tables but kept out of spread math because its pool-skew funding and borrowing fee are not comparable with order-book funding.
