How is the Goatseus Maximus funding rate calculated?

Exchange-calculated funding rates combine three inputs: the premium index (GOAT perpetual price minus the spot reference index), the interest rate component (typically fixed at 0.01% per 8 hours), and a clamp function that caps the final rate at ±0.375% on most exchanges. The formula is: funding = clamp(premium_index + interest_rate, ±cap). Different exchanges use slightly different index sources, which explains the cross-venue rate differences.

What is the annualized APR on Goatseus Maximus funding?

Sharpe's table auto-normalizes every GOAT funding rate to APR so you can rank yields across exchanges without manual conversion.
