Understanding Funding Rates

Funding rates are a mechanism unique to perpetual futures contracts. Unlike traditional futures that expire on a set date, perpetual contracts have no expiry. To keep the perpetual price aligned with the underlying spot price, exchanges use a funding rate system where one side periodically pays the other.

On Hyperliquid, funding is settled every 8 hours (three times per day). When the perpetual price trades above the oracle (spot) price, the funding rate is positive and long traders pay short traders. When it trades below, the funding rate is negative and shorts pay longs. This incentivizes arbitrageurs to close the gap between perpetual and spot prices.

For Skhx (XYZ) (SKHX), the current funding rate of +0.0108% per 8h means that a $10,000 position on the paying side would cost approximately $1.08 per funding period. Over a year at this rate, the annualized cost would be 11.81% of the position size.
