What is Funding Rate?

A periodic payment between long and short perpetual traders that keeps the perp price tethered to spot.

Funding Rate in practice

When the perp trades above spot, funding is positive and longs pay shorts; below spot it flips. Rates are typically charged every 1–8 hours and annualise fast: 0.01%/8h is ~11% APR.
