- What is the GFS funding rate?
A periodic payment between long and short holders of GFS perpetual futures that keeps the contract price near spot. When the rate is positive, longs pay shorts; when negative, shorts pay longs. Right now it ranges from −0.0100% to 0.0000% per 8 hours across 4 exchanges.
- How often is GFS funding paid?
Every 8 hours on most exchanges, every 1–4 hours on some (Hyperliquid pays hourly). The table shows each exchange's interval and the time to the next payment.
- Why is the GFS funding rate different on each exchange?
Each exchange computes it from its own premium of perpetual over index price and its own interval and caps. The difference is what funding arbitrage earns: short where funding is highest, long where it is lowest.
- Does a high APR mean high profit?
No. APR extrapolates the current rate over a year, and rates change every period. Compare it with what was actually paid over 7 and 30 days in the table above.
