01
Scan
Find the widest live spread
Use Funding as the live scanner: compare the same perpetual market across selected venues and shortlist routes that look interesting right now.
Funding Discovery
Funding Rate Screener for crypto perpetuals
Compare live funding rates across exchanges, spot the widest spreads, and move the best routes into Funding Opportunities and route-level backtesting before execution.

Open Funding
02
Validate
Check whether it held up
Move promising routes into Funding Opportunities so one noisy snapshot does not masquerade as a stable setup.
03
Stress-test
Inspect one exact route
Use Backtester with size and cost assumptions before treating the spread as execution-worthy.
Live Screener Example
BTC shows a wide spread across two venues. That is not the trade yet. It is the shortlist: check history, OI, price delta, and costs before the route deserves size.
Next Check
Discovery should lead to validation
The screener is strongest when it gets you to the next decision quickly: does this exact route survive Funding Opportunities and Backtester?
Decision Signals
What the screener should tell you
01Max spread
Shows where the biggest live exchange divergence exists for a symbol.
02Venue access
Keeps the shortlist practical by filtering out exchanges you do not use.
03OI context
Helps avoid routes that look strong but may be thin to execute.
04Route depth
Pushes the strongest candidates into Funding Opportunities and Backtester instead of stopping at discovery.
Risk Frame
Do not confuse shortlist with trade
- A live spread is only the first filter, not a complete trade.
- Funding, basis, fees, liquidity, and execution timing all interact.
- A high APY route can disappear quickly if the opposite leg weakens.
- Use the screener to shortlist, then validate before sizing.

FAQ
Common questions before using the screener
What is a funding rate screener?
It is a tool for comparing perpetual funding across exchanges so you can spot where live spread differences may create a route worth reviewing.
Is a screener the same as a funding tracker?
Not really. A tracker can simply list rates. A useful screener helps you compare venues, filter the market, and move strong routes into deeper analysis.
Does high funding automatically mean a good arbitrage trade?
No. High funding on one exchange alone is not enough. Fees, liquidity, basis, and the opposite leg still matter.
Why not just use the Funding table directly?
You can, and that is where execution starts. This page explains the workflow clearly before new users enter the live tool.
