How this service works
Returns live perpetual-futures funding rates, mark and index price, open interest, and 24h volume for BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, and ADA from Kraken Futures and Hyperliquid, plus a per-symbol consensus with 8h and annualized funding, who pays whom, and a LONG_CROWDED / SHORT_CROWDED / BALANCED crowding label — use it to price carry or spot a crowded side before taking a leveraged position. Cached 5 minutes.
Output
A JSON object keyed by symbol (e.g. BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA) containing per-venue funding rates, mark price, index price, open interest, and 24h volume from Kraken Futures and Hyperliquid; plus a consensus block with 8h funding, annualized funding rate, who pays whom (long pays short or vice versa), and a crowding label (LONG_CROWDED, SHORT_CROWDED, or BALANCED). Also includes a fetched_at ISO timestamp and a venue_errors array for any partial failures. Data is cached for 5 minutes.
Example use cases
Carry trade evaluation before entry
“Before I open a long BTC perp position, can you pull the current funding rate, who's paying whom, and whether the long side is crowded on Kraken and Hyperliquid?”
Crowding scan across all five assets
“Give me a snapshot of which of BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, and ADA perpetuals are currently LONG_CROWDED, SHORT_CROWDED, or BALANCED so I can avoid the most crowded trades.”
Annualized funding comparison for yield strategy
“What's the annualized funding rate for ETH and SOL perps right now? I'm trying to figure out which one gives better carry for a cash-and-carry position.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://crypto.forgemesh.io/api/kronos/futures/funding?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need multi-venue perpetual futures funding rate data for the five supported assets (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA) with built-in crowding labels and consensus aggregation — rather than hitting Kraken or Hyperliquid APIs individually. Particularly valuable when pricing carry, assessing crowded positioning before entering leveraged trades, or scanning for funding anomalies across venues in a single call. The 5-minute cache makes it suitable for tactical decision-making but not for tick-by-tick HFT.
Side effects
- Venue-level partial failure: one exchange (Kraken or Hyperliquid) is unreachable — returned in venue_errors array while other venue data is still present
- Invalid symbol parameter: unsupported ticker returns empty or error response
- Rate limiting or payment failure: 402 response if USDC micropayment is not processed
- Stale data: cache may be up to 5 minutes old, so real-time latency-sensitive strategies may see lag
- Network timeout if both upstream venues are slow simultaneously
