How this pair behaves

Extended pays funding every 1h on 153 markets; Nado pays every 24h on 71 markets. The two clocks differ, so one leg settles while the other is still accruing: a position held for only a few hours can pay one side without ever collecting from the other. Extended quotes 153 perpetual markets in total and Nado quotes 71; the 30 they share are what this page ranks. Across its own book Extended runs a median funding rate of 5.3% and Nado -1.8% — the two sit on opposite sides of zero, which is why this combination throws up spreads at all.

30 markets between these two venues · 24 at 5%+ net APR

Net APR subtracts entry and exit fees, both legs' bid/ask spread and estimated slippage from the gross funding spread. The 7-day average is historical gross funding for the same pair: a current rate close to it suggests the spread has persisted, one far above it is usually a spike that will decay.

Trading the Extended / Nado spread

The trade is one position split across two venues: long the exchange paying the more negative funding, short the one paying the more positive, in the same size. What limits it is not the headline APR but the smaller leg's liquidity, the fees on both sides, and how long the spread survives — funding decays and flips, often within hours.
