Funding Rate Board Screensaver
The Funding Rate Board screensaver ranks perpetual futures funding rates across major crypto pairs on a live board, drawn key-less from Binance's public market data API. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
How the Funding Rate Board screensaver works
The saver fetches real current funding rates for major perpetual futures pairs from Binance's public API, with no key required.
Pairs rank by real funding rate, positive rates paid by longs, negative paid by shorts.
Each bar's size and color reflect the real rate's magnitude and direction.
The board refreshes on a schedule to track real market conditions.
A worked example
A stretch of sharply positive real funding rates suggests the market is heavily long and paying up for it — a genuine positioning signal straight from live exchange data.
Settings & tips
- Accent recolours the positive-rate bars.
- Funding rates reset periodically on real exchanges, typically every few hours.
- Extreme rates in either direction often draw trader attention as a contrarian signal.
