Polkadot funding on MEXC, explained
MEXC lists 1000+ perpetual pairs — far more of the long tail than Bybit or Binance — and carries the longest fee-rebate attribution window of the three.
Every eight hours, MEXC settles a payment between longs and shorts on the DOT/USDT perpetual. Positive funding means longs pay shorts; negative means shorts pay longs. We annualise the 8h figure (× 3 × 365) so it's comparable to the yields you'd see on a lending product.
Above ±10% annualised is loud — someone's paying real money to hold their side. Above ±25% rarely lasts more than a few days. Around zero, the rate is mostly noise and a carry's round-trip cost will eat any edge. Always check the cross-venue view before you commit — the loudest rate isn't always on MEXC.
