Ugh, the funding rate has blown up again recently—the positive and negative swings are getting downright scary. During the airdrop season, everyone’s been grinding for points, and the “farmers” watch the charts like it’s their day job. Even the anti-bot/anti–Sybil measures have everyone on edge. Honestly, with this kind of extreme funding rate, I’m actually even more timid—I don’t dare to go into the opposing side’s positions to collect the funding, because I’m afraid they’ll spike it up, crash it down, and wipe me out in one go. I’d rather stick to hiding from the volatility and go do some modular protocol data-availability tasks—at least that way I can scrape together some pieces from the event “color window.” Not sure if I’m just being too conservative, but for now, I’ll do this.
