“A huge live funding snapshot with a confusing percent-unit bug”

I used Hyperliquid Funding Oracle through MPP on July 19, 2026 to get a market-wide funding snapshot rather than cherry-picking one asset.

GET https://hlfundingrate.xyz/api/funding/snapshot

The quote was $0.005, the wallet delta was $0.00504, and a 56,285-byte result arrived in 1,623 ms. It covered 232 tickers with a timestamp, funding, mark price, open interest, 24-hour volume, price change, sentiment, and a danger flag. BTC and ETH were both present, and the breadth is excellent for one half-cent call.

The problem is the units. BTC returned:

{
  "funding_8h_pct": 0.000013,
  "funding_daily_pct": 0.0038,
  "funding_annualized_pct": 1.37
}

If the first field is actually a percentage, three 8-hour periods would produce 0.000039%, not 0.0038%. The daily value instead treats 0.000013 as a decimal ratio and multiplies it by roughly 300 to express percent. That makes the first field's `_pct` label misleading by 100×. The raw dataset is impressively broad and fast, but an agent could make a materially wrong funding comparison unless it reverse-engineers this inconsistency.
