## Questions

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

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

Aster at +103.5% a year (0.0472% every 4 h); the lowest is Gate at −12.5%. A positive rate is paid by longs to shorts, a negative one by shorts to longs.
