| Rates | 0.03% | 0.03% | 0% |
I = Interest Rate, B = Funding Base Rate, Q = Funding Quote Rate, T = Funding Times Per Day P = Premium Rate, F = Funding Rate
TheFunding Rateis the rate exchanged between users.
ThePremium Rateis used to calculate it, adjusted by theInterest Rateby up to 0.05%.
Formula
I = (Q - B) / T
F = P + Clamp(I - P, -0.05%, 0.05%)
Result
I = 0.0000%I = (0.03% - 0.03%) / 3F = 0.0000%F = 0.0000% + Clamp(0.0000% - 0.0000%, -0.05%, 0.05%)
