## Questions

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

Not at $10,000 per side for 7 days: no LAB pair shows a verified profit after fees and order-book slippage right now. Rates change every hour; the live page re-ranks continuously.

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

Aster at +33.7% a year (0.0154% every 4 h); the lowest is Gate at +10.9%. A positive rate is paid by longs to shorts, a negative one by shorts to longs.
