Funding is the periodic payment between longs and shorts. The route returns the rate and its premium component. Hyperliquid core, HIP-3, and Lighter serve funding; Spot and HIP-4 do not. Recorded row cadence is family- and symbol-specific; check coverage metadata for the selected window. These rows are not the venue’s funding payment or annualization interval.

Get funding

/current is the latest value; /v1/hyperliquid/funding/{symbol} paginates history.

Request parameters

Response fields

funding_rate and premium are decimal strings, so keep them as strings to the application edge.

Reading the funding rate

For Lighter, funding_rate is a fractional, non-annualized decimal string. For example, 0.0001 represents 0.01%, not 0.0001 percentage points. Keep Lighter values separate from other venue families; do not annualize or compare them across venues. A positive rate means longs pay shorts; a negative rate means shorts pay longs. premium is the mark-to-index component that drives the rate. Keep both as decimal strings until the application edge so small rates do not lose precision in floating point.

Recorded row cadence

Cadence is family- and symbol-specific. Use coverage and freshness routes for the selected symbol and window; a row cadence is not a funding payment or annualization interval.

Stream or replay it

Funding streams live on Hyperliquid core (funding) and HIP-3 (hip3_funding). Lighter current funding uses REST, and lighter_funding supports historical WebSocket replay but not live subscriptions through the 0xArchive WebSocket. Historical data is also available through REST and exports. Spot and HIP-4 do not serve funding.
Connection and reconnect handling live in the WebSocket tab; see WebSocket channels for the family matrix.

Export in bulk

For a funding-rate history as files, use the funding export schema ($0.50/GB, $2.50 minimum), delivered as Parquet with ZSTD compression. Build a selection in the Data catalog; columns and coverage keys are on Export schemas.
