What is Funding Rate for Kite?
The Kite funding rate is the periodic payment between holders of long and short KITE perpetual futures that keeps the perpetual's price near spot. When the rate is positive, longs pay shorts; when it is negative, shorts pay longs.
Sharpe lists the current KITE funding rate on every tracked venue that quotes a KITE perpetual, each at the venue's own settlement interval.
How to read the Kite Funding Rate chart
Venues settle on their own interval (1h to 24h), so rates are compared on an 8-hour-equivalent basis: the venue's rate × 8 ÷ its interval in hours. APR annualizes the venue's rate over its own interval: the 8-hour-equivalent rate × 3 × 365.
A gap between the highest and lowest venue is the spread a cross-venue funding trade earns before fees, and a venue far from the rest often has thin open interest.
