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 HTX minus Lighter.

The open interest cards at the top compare the USD value of open perpetual futures positions on each exchange, summed over every market this site tracks there and valued at the mark price. They update with every page load.

Is funding higher on HTX or Lighter?

The average funding figures cover only the coins both exchanges list, as 8-hour equivalents, so venues with 1-hour and 8-hour funding compare directly. The table shows each coin's rate on both and the spread; a wide spread is what a funding arbitrage trade collects.
