Lighter perpetual funding rates

Simple annualised rate = funding rate × 8,760 ÷ rate period in hours. A 0.01% rate over 8h becomes 10.95%; over 1h it becomes 87.60%. This excludes compounding and is not a return on margin. The rate period can differ from settlement timing: the collected Lighter rate uses an 8h equivalent, while settlements are hourly. How many contracts on each venue settle every 1, 4 or 8 hours.

This table shows the latest collected venue quote; a rate can change before it settles. Positive funding is paid by longs to shorts, and negative funding reverses the flow. The realised ranking uses settled records. Your own fees depend on notional exposure at each settlement and when you held the position. Neither rate includes price P&L, trading fees or leverage effects.

The default list requires at least $1M of reported 24h turnover; use “show every contract” to remove that threshold. Unknown turnover cannot pass the filter, and an unknown period cannot be annualised. A dash means missing or unavailable, not zero. Venues may have different observation times; confirm on the live contract page. Official sources and coverage.
