The widest DUSK perpetual spread is between Binance and Bybit: long DUSK on Binance at $0.0777 and short on Bybit at $0.0778 for +0.15% gross, or -0.01% 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 DUSK route is to buy spot on KuCoin and short the perpetual on Bybit: -0.01% gross, -0.21% net, with +0.030% a day of funding on the short leg.
Spot–spot DUSK arbitrage (buy on KuCoin, withdraw, deposit and sell on MEXC) shows -0.03% 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 DUSK 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.
