## Questions

**Is IOST funding-rate arbitrage profitable right now?**

Not at the full size. At $10,000 per side for 7 days the best IOST pair (OKX / BingX) would net +$41.84 after taker fees, order-book slippage and carry, but the slippage at that size is over the budget, so it is on watch rather than actionable.

**Which exchange has the highest IOST funding rate?**

WhiteBIT at +10.9% a year (0.0013% every 1 h); the lowest is OKX at −168.3%. A positive rate is paid by longs to shorts, a negative one by shorts to longs.
