How to read a venue funding rate

Funding is a recurring payment between the long and short side of a perpetual, set by each venue from its own perp-versus-spot basis. A positive rate means longs pay shorts. Because every exchange computes it independently — different intervals, clamps and premium windows — the same market can pay positive funding here and negative elsewhere, which is what a delta-neutral funding trade harvests. Perpia annualizes every rate so venues on 1h, 4h and 8h intervals are directly comparable. See the methodology for the exact calculation.
