What the columns and badges mean
now
Current funding spread APR: short-leg rate minus long-leg rate, annualized.
24h
Average spread APR over the last 24 hours, on hours when both venues have data (settled funding, plus predicted rates for hours not settled yet).
7d
Average spread APR over the last 7 days, on hours when both venues have data (settled funding, plus predicted rates for hours not settled yet). Used for ranking and net APR.
30d
Average spread APR over the last 30 days, on hours when both venues have data (settled funding, plus predicted rates for hours not settled yet).
7d trend
Spread APR over the last 7 days in 6-hour averages; the dashed line is zero.
Net APR
7d spread APR minus taker fees to open and close both legs, spread over the holding period: net = spread7d − fees × 365 / days. Per unit of notional per leg.
On capital
Net APR on the capital posted for both legs at this leverage: net × leverage / 2.
Breakeven
Days of 7d-average funding needed to pay back open+close taker fees.
Min OI
Smaller open interest of the two legs, USD.
steady
Steady: prior-week spread at least 5% APR, last 24h positive and no spike, positive now. Not negative in X% of hours over 7 days.
spike
The last 24h spread is far above the prior 6-day average (more than 3×, or above 15% APR after a weak prior) — it may not last.
mixed
The spread was negative too often: not negative in only X% of hours over 7 days.
new
Less than 4 days of shared history in the prior week: stability cannot be judged yet.
weak
Prior-week spread under 5% APR: too small to call steady.
cooling
The prior week was solid, but the last 24h or the current spread is not positive.
≠ asset?
Mark prices differ by N bps — these may be different assets under one ticker, or contracts of a different size (e.g. per 1,000 coins). Verify before trading.
stale
At least one leg has not updated for over 30 minutes.
low OI
Open interest under $50k on at least one leg — size carefully.
8h/1h
Funding intervals differ (8h vs 1h): payments are not simultaneous.
TradFi
Tokenized stock, index or commodity: trading sessions and oracle rules may differ.
invite only
Invite-only venue: an account needs an invite code, so it is not selected by default. Tick it in the venue filter to include it.
spread not incl.
A leg trades on quotes with no fee (Variational): the cost is the market maker's quote spread, which we cannot see, so the net APR is before it. Compare the quote with the mark price before you trade.
CEX
Centralized exchange: trading needs an account with identity verification (KYC).
