Excuse me, could you please elaborate on how exactly the funding for HyperLiquid is calculated? I'm particularly interested in understanding the methodology behind it, and whether it's based on market conditions, token holdings, or some other factors. Additionally, I'm wondering if there's a specific formula or algorithm that's used in determining the funding amount. Could you provide some insights into this process? Thank you in advance for your clarity on this matter.

Specifically, the clamp function ensures that the deviation does not exceed 0.0005 in either direction. In other words, the Funding Rate can deviate from the Premium Index by no more than 0.0005, providing a degree of stability and predictability in funding costs.

Cryptocurrency trading involves intricate calculations, particularly in the realm of funding rates. The formula for calculating the Funding Rate (F) encapsulates a blend of premium indices and interest rate adjustments.

To maintain accuracy and relevance, the Premium Index is sampled every 5 seconds and averaged over the course of an hour. This ensures that the Funding Rate reflects the most recent and representative market conditions, allowing traders to make informed decisions regarding their funding needs.

At its core, the Funding Rate is derived from the Average Premium Index (P), which serves as a foundational element in determining the overall cost of funding. This index reflects the premium paid by traders seeking to maintain leveraged positions.

To refine the Funding Rate calculation, an adjustment is made based on the difference between the prevailing interest rate and the Premium Index (P). This adjustment is encapsulated within the clamp function, which restricts the deviation from the Premium Index to within a specified range.
