Perp DEX Funding Rates Right Now
A perp DEX runs perpetual futures on-chain: you trade from your own wallet instead of an exchange account. We track perpetual funding on Hyperliquid, Aster alongside the centralized exchanges above, so a funding gap between a perp DEX and a CEX shows up in one place. Settlement intervals differ by venue, which is why the annualized figure matters more than the headline rate.

What Are Funding Rates?
Funding rates are periodic payments exchanged between traders holding long and short positions in perpetual futures markets. They serve as a mechanism to keep the perpetual contract price aligned with the underlying spot price. When the rate is positive, traders with long positions pay those with short positions — indicating bullish sentiment. When negative, shorts pay longs — signaling bearish conditions. Rates are typically settled every 8 hours. Yieldo monitors funding rates across 7+ exchanges in real time, updating data every 10 minutes — helping traders spot arbitrage opportunities and manage position costs. Coverage spans centralized exchanges and perp DEXs alike: an on-chain perp DEX settles perpetual funding on its own interval, so the same coin can carry very different funding on a CEX and on a perp DEX.
