Arbitrage radar
Where carry pays.
Funding + basis carry signal across Hyperliquid perps. Positive carry = short the perp + long the underlying to collect funding. Negative carry = the reverse. Cross-DEX arb (HL vs edgeX / Aster) is now live — see /arbitrage/cross-dex.
Ranks based on combined funding APR + premium signal. Real carry execution depends on spot venue cost, gas, and rebalance frequency.

Caveats
Carry trades look free until they aren't. Funding can flip in hours during squeezes. Premium can collapse with a single liquidity event. Always size for the worst-case unwind, not the steady-state APR. For cross-DEX carry across HL + edgeX + Aster — different funding rates on the same asset — see /arbitrage/cross-dex.
