Funding Rate Feed
Real-time and historical funding rates normalized across protocols. Know whether the market is long-leaning or short-leaning before you size your position.
The market's lean — expressed in basis points per hour.
Positive funding rate
Longs pay shorts. The market is net long — more traders are holding perpetual longs than shorts. Positive funding rates indicate an over-extended long market. If rates climb persistently, long positions become expensive to hold and a funding squeeze becomes possible.
Negative funding rate
Shorts pay longs. The market is net short. Negative funding rates indicate bearish positioning. Persistent negative rates can signal over-extended short positioning — the conditions for a short squeeze if spot buying accelerates.
Different settlement intervals. One annualized scale.
One protocol settles every 8 hours, another every hour. Aark converts all rates to an annualized basis so you can compare apples to apples across any pair.
Reads from four on-chain protocol feeds simultaneously. Spot when the same pair shows different funding bias across protocols — a cross-protocol arbitrage signal.
90 days of normalized funding rate history on the Trader plan. Identify recurring patterns: overnight normalization, pre-settlement spikes, long-bias peaks that preceded corrections.
Know whether the market is long-biased or short-biased before you size.
