After using binance for futures for the last couple of years I said I’d give kraken a chance and to say it’s disappointing is an understatement. The funding fees (0.5% per hour) are insane. Especially when you put it in comparison to binance 0.01% every 8 hours.

I opened a small position to familiarise myself with the layout. €50 X7 long. The fees were ~€1.70 every hour. The same fee on binance would have been a few cents every 8’hours.

To put that into perspective:

If I open a €500 (X5) long position at the same time on both kraken and binance.

After 1 hour; €12.50 on kraken. Nothing on binance.

After 8 hours: €100 on kraken. €0.25 on binance.

After 1 day: €300 on kraken, €0.75 on binance.

And that’s without the market even moving against you. 60% of your original capital paid in funding fees in just 1 day? Obviously for the example I’m simplifying it as if the €500 balance remained for the entire 24hrs.

Am I missing something here? I attached a screenshot to show the funding fees deducted each hour on a small position (€50X7 long).

Hello folks. most of these exchanges provide live ws for liquidations but I was looking to download tick level data. Only think I could find was tardis.dev, but want to compare offerings.

Thankyou so much

Full disclosure: this is my project.

I’ve been building PumpFunBot around a pretty specific split:

1. Free mint scan for people checking a CA.
2. Paid operator desk for people running their own token operations.

The desk is self-funded: you create/fund your own boss + worker wallets and run the available micro-trade / wave / random-walk strategies from the dashboard. The current plans are 1 SOL / 2.5 SOL / 5 SOL for different access windows.

Important distinction: I’m not selling a ranking guarantee or pretending paid activity magically creates organic demand. It’s an on-chain operations tool and the site says that plainly.

The part I’m most interested in feedback on is whether the product separation is clear enough. Scanner users should be able to use the free side without being forced into the operator tool.

If you run Solana launches, what would make the operator desk materially more useful?
