Arbitrage

Funding rate arbitrage is a pro strategy where you profit from differences in funding payments across multiple integrated perp DEXs. While most users focus on a single platform, arbitrageurs use our terminal to spot and harvest these opportunities at scale.

How It Works

  • Monitor funding rates on all supported DEXs from your dashboard.

  • Identify where the same asset has significantly different funding rates (e.g., one DEX is positive, another is negative).

  • Open a long position on the DEX where shorts pay funding, and a short position where longs pay funding. This keeps you price-neutral while capturing the net funding payout.

  • For this strategy, make sure to select the specific DEX directly—“Aggregator” mode routes for liquidity and price, not funding advantage.

Key Tips

  • Funding rate arbitrage relies on being present at the funding timestamp—track when rates update, and manage positions accordingly.

  • Check platform fees and slippage, as they can affect actual returns.

  • Our multi-DEX dashboard surfaces all rates side by side for fast decision-making.

Why Use This Strategy?

  • Earn yield even without directional bets.

  • Hedge market risk—your profit comes from funding, not price movement.

  • Automate with bots for larger scale and round-the-clock farming.

Risks

  • Funding rates can change fast. Stay alert.

  • Fees and volatile markets can reduce arbitrage gains.

  • Running strategies across multiple platforms means managing more collateral and complexity.

In short: Our terminal empowers advanced users to farm funding rates across DEXs, but for true arbitrage, always select the exact DEX you want to target—don’t rely on the aggregator to capture these edge cases automatically.
