About Zest Protocol Funding Rate

What is the ZEST funding rate?

The ZEST funding rate is a periodic payment between long and short traders on Zest Protocol perpetual futures, designed to keep the contract price anchored to the spot index. When the rate is positive, longs pay shorts; when negative, shorts pay longs. It is the main ongoing cost (or income) of holding a leveraged ZEST perpetual position.

What does a positive or negative ZEST funding rate mean?

A persistently positive ZEST funding rate signals crowded long positioning and bullish sentiment — longs keep paying to stay in the trade. A negative rate signals short-side dominance and bearish sentiment. Extreme funding rates in either direction often indicate an overcrowded trade and raise the risk of a sharp reversal or short squeeze/long squeeze.

What is the current ZEST funding rate?

As of now, the ZEST funding rate averages 0.0204% across 11 exchanges CoinBoss tracks, and the rate is positive. This figure updates in real time — check the table above for the latest per-exchange breakdown and the OI-weighted composite rate.

Which exchange has the highest ZEST funding rate?

Right now kucoin shows the highest (or most extreme) ZEST funding rate among tracked exchanges, at 0.0568%. Funding rates can vary meaningfully across exchanges due to differences in order-book premium, index price and leverage demand — creating potential funding rate arbitrage opportunities.
Most exchanges settle funding every 8 hours (00:00 / 08:00 / 16:00 UTC). Actual settlement intervals may vary by exchange and contract.
