The average across all venues is +0.033% per day, or about +12.0% a year. Positive funding means ZEST longs are paying shorts — the market is leaning long.
The gap between the highest and lowest venue is +0.021% per day. A delta-neutral position that shorts ZEST on KuCoin and goes long on Aster would collect that difference at each settlement, before trading fees and the price spread between the two contracts.
