About Funding Alerts
Funding Alerts is an independent educational platform dedicated to making crypto derivatives data accessible and understandable. We believe that understanding funding rates, open interest, and liquidation dynamics is essential for anyone trading perpetual futures — and that this data should be freely available, clearly explained, and presented without hype.
Our Mission
The perpetual futures market has grown to represent billions of dollars in daily volume, yet many traders enter positions without understanding the costs and risks embedded in funding rates. Our mission is to bridge this knowledge gap by providing real-time funding rate data alongside clear educational content that explains what the numbers mean and how to use them responsibly.
We are not a trading platform, an exchange, or a financial advisor. We are a data and education resource that helps traders make more informed decisions by understanding the mechanics behind their positions.
