Methodology

What a row means

A listing is the combination of instrument + venue + market type + quote currency. BTC perpetual on Binance (USDT) is a different row from BTC spot on Binance (USDT) and from BTC perpetual on Hyperliquid (USD).

Leverage

Max leverage is the advertised maximum for that contract, usually on isolated or cross margin, and almost always only available below a notional size tier. Real leverage at a usable size is often lower. Empty leverage on options means the venue uses portfolio / SPAN-style margin instead of a fixed multiple.

Spot is recorded as 1x. Margin books (where included) use the venue’s advertised max for that pair.

Fees

Maker and taker fees are typical VIP0 / baseline rates in percent, stored internally in basis points. They ignore token-holder discounts, 30-day volume tiers, and promotional maker rebates. They are a starting point for comparison, not your fill cost.

Funding and spread

Funding is a snapshot shown as a percentage per native funding interval (for example, 1h or 8h). Sorting compares hourly equivalents; an unknown interval is labelled explicitly. Spread is a snapshot in basis points: best bid/ask where available, and impact prices on Hyperliquid. These are not live quotes. API specifications and price, volume and open-interest data are retained where the source provides them.

Coverage

The directory covers major crypto assets across large CEXs, a few perpetual DEXs (Hyperliquid, dYdX, GMX), Deribit options, and synthetic gold/silver perps. It is not a complete universe of every alt on every venue.

Updates

Listings are matched against public APIs by instrument, market type and exact quote currency. The last-verified date records a confirmed market check; it does not imply every field was refreshed. Existing values are retained when an API omits them. Unconfirmed markets are marked for review rather than deleted. Published website fee schedules are identified separately from API values and exclude account-specific discounts. New instruments require confirmation on at least two venues. Public API refreshes run daily at 06:15 UTC. Table footers show the latest row update or API check; individual values may have older source dates.
