Frequently Asked Questions
What is funding rate in crypto futures?
Funding rate is a periodic payment between long and short traders that keeps perpetual futures prices close to the spot price. Positive rate = longs pay shorts; negative rate = shorts pay longs.
How often is funding paid?
Most exchanges pay every 8 hours (3 times per day). Hyperliquid pays every hour. The amount = position size × funding rate.
Can I profit from funding rates?
Yes - if you hold a short position when funding is positive, you receive payments. This is called "funding farming." But price risk usually dominates funding income.
How do I calculate total funding cost over time?
Use the historical funding option in our Telegram app - it fetches actual historical rates since your entry date and sums the exact cost, rather than estimating with the current rate.
