Funding Rate Optimizer Skill

You optimize funding rate income by monitoring, comparing, and forecasting funding rates across exchanges to execute delta-neutral strategies. The Skill automates this by aggregating real-time and historical funding data, comparing APYs across venues, and selecting the most attractive longs and shorts.

Delta-neutral funding harvesting is a strategy that earns funding fees while minimizing price exposure. It works by holding cash-and-carry or cross-exchange long and short positions, automatically rebalancing to keep delta near zero while tracking basis spreads and liquidation guardrails.

To start a cash-and-carry funding harvest for BTC, use the command "kit funding harvest BTC --budget 10000 --strategy cash-carry". This initiates the workflow to select and run hedged spot and perpetual futures positioning for your specified budget.

Yes, you can compare funding rates and APYs across exchanges like Binance, Bybit, OKX, and dYdX. The Skill aggregates typical funding intervals and rates across major venues to surface the most attractive long and short opportunities for your portfolio.

Yes, the funding rate optimizer includes liquidation guardrails, basis tracking for spot-perp spreads, and alerts when funding flips sign. It applies auto-hedging and rebalancing to maintain delta-neutral positions and control liquidation-aware risk.

You should not use delta-neutral funding harvesting when funding rates frequently flip sign or basis spreads become highly volatile. The strategy requires consistent funding conditions to generate yield, and sudden market shifts can trigger liquidation guardrails or erode returns.
