Coverage. Aster: Crypto perps (stocks excluded): OI every 60s (top 60) or 5 min, funding every 60s; liquidations sampled, at most one per symbol per second. Added 2026-09-28. MEXC: USDT perps: open interest and funding polled over REST every 60s; MEXC publishes no liquidation feed.

How it's counted. Open interest is the USD value of open perpetual positions (one side) at the mark price, summed over the markets this site tracks; stablecoin pairs are left out. Shared coins are coins with a perpetual on both exchanges (Hyperliquid HIP-3 markets excluded); where an exchange lists several perps for a coin, the one with the most open interest is used. Funding is the 8-hour equivalent; the spread is Aster minus MEXC.
