Question 1

Which exchange has the highest EPIC funding rate right now?

Accepted Answer

BloFin shows the highest EPIC funding at +15.90% annualized. A high positive rate means shorts get paid, so this is the venue to short EPIC when running a funding-arbitrage pair. Rates change every settlement window — check the live screener for the current value.

Question 2

Which exchange is best to long EPIC for funding?

Accepted Answer

LBank has the lowest EPIC funding at +10.96% annualized, which makes the long leg cheapest (or paid). Pair it with the highest-funding venue to capture the spread delta-neutral.

Question 3

What is the best EPIC funding-arbitrage pair?

Accepted Answer

The widest spread is long Binance Futures / short BloFin at about 5.0% APR before costs. Verify it in the ORBIT backtester, which subtracts real fees and slippage, before sizing a position.

Question 4

How often does EPIC funding settle?

Accepted Answer

EPIC funding settles every 4h. Longer intervals concentrate the same annualized rate into fewer, larger payments. ORBIT normalizes every venue to a common APR so they are directly comparable.

Question 5

Is EPIC funding positive or negative?

Accepted Answer

EPIC funding is currently positive across venues (longs pay shorts), ranging +10.96% to +15.90% APR.

Question 6

What is the current EPIC perpetual swap funding rate?

Accepted Answer

The current EPIC perpetual swap funding rate ranges from +10.96% to +15.90% annualized depending on the exchange — LBank is lowest and BloFin is highest right now. There is no single EPIC funding rate: every venue runs its own funding formula and order book, which is why the rate has to be read by exchange rather than as one number.

Question 7

What is the aggregated EPIC funding rate across exchanges?

Accepted Answer

Aggregated across the 11 venues ORBIT tracks, EPIC funding currently spans +10.96% to +15.90% APR, a spread of 5.0 percentage points. An aggregated average hides the part that matters for trading — the gap between the cheapest and dearest venue — so the table above lists each exchange separately.

Question 8

How do I read the EPIC 8h funding rate versus the annualized rate?

Accepted Answer

EPIC does not settle on an 8-hour schedule on the venues tracked here. Because intervals differ by exchange, comparing raw per-payment rates is misleading; ORBIT normalizes each venue to annualized APR so the numbers are directly comparable.
