Briefings
A hypothetical SEI ledger example illustrates perpetual funding rates where a $30 transfer represents 0.75% of one trader's starting collateral and 0.375% of the other's. This demonstrates how funding rates are calculated as a percentage of initial positions rather than fixed amounts. The source provides a single numerical example without broader market context or historical data.
Key points
- A $30 funding transfer equals 0.75% of one trader's starting collateral and 0.375% of the other's in a hypothetical SEI ledger.
- Perpetual funding rates are calculated as a percentage of initial positions rather than fixed monetary amounts.
Context
This example demonstrates how perpetual funding rates function as a percentage of initial positions rather than fixed amounts, illustrating the mechanics of funding transfers in a simulated SEI ledger environment.
Limitations
The evidence consists of a single hypothetical numerical example without broader market context, historical data, or validation of the calculation method against real-world markets.
