How Hyperliquid computes funding

Interval
Every hour, at 1/8 of the computed 8-hour rate
Interest component
0.01% per 8 hours (0.00125% per hour, about 11.6% APR paid to shorts)
Premium and clamp
clamp(interest − premium, −0.05%, +0.05%); premium sampled every 5 s and averaged over the hour
Formula
F = average premium index + clamp(interest rate − premium index, −0.0005, 0.0005), applied as an 8-hour rate and paid hourly at one eighth

Funding is peer-to-peer on all three venues: the exchange does not take a cut of funding payments. Source: Hyperliquid docs: Funding.
