DGAI arbitrage explained
Right now DGrid AI (DGAI) trades on 6 venues we scan: 5 perpetual markets, 4 spot markets and 0 DEX pools. The lowest ask is on Bitget perp at $0.9675 and the highest bid on Gate spot at $0.9685.
The widest DGAI perpetual spread is between Bybit and Gate: long DGAI on Bybit at $0.9675 and short on Gate at $0.9681 for +0.06% gross, or -0.10% after the 0.16% two-leg fee model. No transfer is needed: both positions stay on their exchanges until the prices converge. The funding difference on this pair is 0.000% per day, which the position collects while it is open.
For a spot–perpetual (cash-and-carry) trade, the best DGAI route is to buy spot on MEXC and short the perpetual on Gate: +0.03% gross, -0.17% net, with +0.030% a day of funding on the short leg.
Spot–spot DGAI arbitrage (buy on MEXC, withdraw, deposit and sell on Gate) shows +0.07% gross right now. It only works if withdrawals on the buying exchange and deposits on the selling exchange are open, so check the D/W dots before moving coins.
Small DGAI gaps usually disappear after fees, slippage and funding. Look at the Net column, the executable Depth and the spread history before trading: a gap that has been open for days is a different trade from a one-minute spike.
