Absolutely! Delta neutrality fees, within Levana's ecosystem, are accumulated over a specified period. If you're on the short side of a trade, a negative funding fee implies you're in a position to earn from it. This mechanism is strategically designed to balance the interests of long and short traders, ensuring a stable and robust trading environment.
Usually, perpetual protocols have the same funding rate for popular and unpopular sides. This means that the total amount charged is always higher than the amount sent as funding payments, and the protocol pockets the difference. However, Levana Well-funded Perps is well-funded and does not have to cover bad debts, so there is no need to pocket the difference. This means that the actual funding rates on the platform can be smaller.
Equality in total amounts of funding payments means that there will be two funding rates: one for longs and one for shorts.
