UMA arbitrage explained

Right now UMA trades on 10 venues we scan: 10 perpetual markets, 6 spot markets and 0 DEX pools. The lowest ask is on Gate perp at $0.4041 and the highest bid on MEXC spot at $0.405.

The widest UMA perpetual spread is between Gate and Variational: long UMA on Gate at $0.4041 and short on Variational at $0.4046 for +0.12% gross, or -0.04% 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 pays while it is open.

For a spot–perpetual (cash-and-carry) trade, the best UMA route is to buy spot on Bybit and short the perpetual on Variational: 0.00% gross, -0.20% net, with +0.030% a day of funding on the short leg.

Spot–spot UMA arbitrage (buy on Bybit, withdraw, deposit and sell on MEXC) shows +0.10% 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 UMA 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.

How do I arbitrage UMA without transferring coins?

Use two perpetual contracts: go long UMA on the cheaper exchange (Gate now) and short it on the more expensive one (Variational), then close both legs when the spread converges. The coins never move between exchanges.
