Dear OKX Users,
To help clients better calculate trading costs, assess risks, and enhance our perpetual swap risk control mechanisms, we're implementing the following funding fee rule adjustments:
Key Changes to Funding Fee Rules
Delayed Funding Rate Application
- Current Rule: Uses the rate calculated one minute before settlement
- New Rule: Will use the rate calculated one minute before the previous settlement period
Enhanced Rate Transparency
Users can now access both:- Current Funding Rate: Rate for the nearest settlement period
- Predicted Funding Rate: Projected rate for the following period
API Updates
- Added estimated_rate and funding_rate parameters to REST/WebSocket interfaces
- Clarified parameter definitions in v3 API
Technical Details
The funding rate calculation formula remains unchanged:
Funding Rate = Clamp(MA((Mid-Price - Index)/Index - Interest), a, b)Where:
- Interest = 0 (current)
- For BTC/ETH/EOS/XRP/BCH/BSV/ETC/LTC/TRX: a=-0.3%, b=0.3%
