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.

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

funding_rate is the rate for one funding interval, not an annualized figure. To compare venues or annualize, multiply by the number of intervals per day and then by 365; Hyperliquid funds hourly, so a small hourly rate compounds quickly. 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.
