## Questions

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

Not at $10,000 per side for 7 days: no LDO 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 LDO funding rate?**

Crypto.com at +71.5% a year (0.0082% every 1 h); the lowest is Backpack at −111.4%. A positive rate is paid by longs to shorts, a negative one by shorts to longs.
