What this page solves

  • Understand which side receives or pays LINK funding before fees.
  • Check whether LINK timing and liquidity fit this wallet.
  • Compare the live LINK row with account risk instead of chasing APR alone.

What makes LINK different

LINK trades with deep enough liquidity to hold a funding sign for a while, which makes the rate more informative than in thin markets, but also slower to warn of a turn.

The main LINK failure mode

A stable-looking LINK carry can quietly erode when spot rotates and the perp basis compresses over several sessions rather than in one move.

The wallet-level question

Does the expected carry survive several days of a flat-to-adverse LINK tape?

LINK funding decision checklist

Funding is peer-to-peer and settles hourly. The worked example below is arithmetic, not a live quote or return forecast.

CheckWhat to verify
1Track how many hours the sign has persisted
2Compare funding against realised volatility
3Check whether the wallet already holds correlated infra exposure
4Confirm fees do not eat the spread at this size

Worked example: at $10,000 oracle notional, an hourly funding rate of 0.01% implies a $1 payment for that interval before trading fees, slippage, and price PnL. Payment direction depends on the sign of the rate and the side of the position.
